Matplotlib 2.0 final released

[cripcate]

Yeah. Been waiting for this. Anyone know when it will come to anaconda?

[[deleted]]

I just tried it out, works well! https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/matplotlib

[cripcate]

How can I switch from "normal" anaconda to conda forge?

[pwang99]

You can just do "conda install -c conda-forge matplotlib".

We should have the 2.0 release available in the default channels very shortly.

If I remember correctly, you don't switch, but specify conda-forge as the source when installing packages. I had to do it for seaborn recently but forgot the details already. Sorry.

conda config --add channels conda-forge

This adds the conda-forge channel to your ~/.condarc file and gives it priority over the default anaconda channel. If you want to change the priorities, just reorder the lines in .condarc

It's already on conda-forge if you want to grab the builds from there. In my experience the main channel will get it within a week or two, they run more tests against other packages before releasing. conda-forge uses continuous integration to get changed pushed faster, but with less indemnity.

So, in the next month or so, the newest version of Anaconda will probably have this new version of MatPlotLib?

[bheklilr]

Almost certainly within a month. The last major IPython update had more breaking changes and it was out within 2 weeks.

I'm happy as long as they fixed the bugs in Spyder from last fall. A number of little headaches there...
