How v3.11.1 went
v3.11.0

REL: v3.11.0

Added 1
  • New accessible colour sequences
Changed 4
  • Complete overhaul of text and font processing with support for modern font features through libraqm, HarfBuzz, SheenBidi, and updated FreeType, enabling full internationalization in all languages
  • Improvements to 3D Axes
  • Performance improvements
  • Flexible figure management

The largest change within this release is a complete overhaul of text and font processing. Through the use of libraqm, HarfBuzz, SheenBidi, and an updated release of FreeType, all text should now support modern font features, enabling full internationalization in all languages. Not all features of these libraries are supported yet, but we expect this work to enable further improvements in an easier manner.

Outside of text handling, there are several improvements to 3D Axes, performance, new accessible colour sequences, flexible figure management, and more. See the release notes for more information.

How v3.11.0rc2 went
v3.11.0rc1Pre-release

REL: v3.11.0rc1

After an extended development stretch, we are pleased to announce the first release candidate of Matplotlib 3.11.0.

The largest change within this release is a complete overhaul of text and font processing. Through the use of libraqm, HarfBuzz, SheenBidi, and an updated release of FreeType, all text should now support modern font features, enabling full internationalization in all languages. Not all features of these libraries are supported yet, but we expect this work to enable further improvements in an easier manner. Due to the update to the font rendering stack, we cannot guarantee that text will be bit-for-bit perfect with previous releases, so if you are using Matplotlib for testing, it may be necessary to introduce/raise a tolerance within your tests.

Outside of text handling, there are several improvements to 3D Axes, performance, new accessible colour sequences, flexible figure management, and more. Final release notes are still being curated, but you may browse the list of new features, API changes, and all issues/pull requests on the milestone.

As a note for downstream packagers, the font libraries have only been tested against the versions bundled with the wheels. It may be possible to expand the range of requirements, or that a requirement is too broad. Please report any issues you have building against external dependencies.
