[matplotlib-devel] 0.99 release candidate this weekend

Sorry I fell behind and did not get a release out earlier as I
intended.  I am going to take another stab this weekend so we can have
something by scipy.  Please commit anything you need to before the
release, and I will ask Michael to create the release branch tomorrow.
 There will still be ample time for testing and fixing stuff from the
release branch, but this will be done on the branch rather than the
trunk.  Tentative schedule:

  * branch tomorrow

  * src candidate Sunday

  * win32 and osx binaries for testing monday

  * official release late next week
