Folks, Happy to announce we have tagged and release Matplotlib 2.2.3. This is the third bug-fix release of the v2.2 LTS series. Wheels and the tarball are on pypi and conda-forge is As a reminder the v2.2 LTS series is the last feature version of Matplotlib to support python 2.7 and will get bug fixes until 2020. Future feature releases will be python 3 only. In addition to documentation and example fixes this release fixes several critical bugs: - Fix import failure on BSD systems - Fix import errors in Qt shims for PyQt5 5.11 and PyQt4 4.12 - Fix import errors if bz2 module is not in standard library - Fix overflow in _path.h - Fix infinite recursion in transform repr - Fix bug with XKCD style - Remove unsafe usage of Popen A big thank you to everyone who worked on this release!
