Hi all,
We are pleased to announce the publication of the 3.11.0 meso release.
Pre-built wheels are available for most major platforms, and can be
installed using `pip install matplotlib==3.11.0`. Other packages may
also be available already; please check with your preferred source.
This release is the work of 246 authors over 936 Pull Requests, fixing
284 Issues.
The largest change within this release is a complete overhaul of text
and font processing. Through the use of libraqm
<https://github.com/HOST-Oman/libraqm/>, HarfBuzz
<https://harfbuzz.github.io/>, SheenBidi
<https://github.com/Tehreer/SheenBidi>, and an updated release of
FreeType <https://freetype.org/>, 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.
