Matplotlib: Visualization with Python

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.
