+Changes to `matplotlib.axes.Axes.spy`
+-------------------------------------
+
+The method `matplotlib.axes.Axes.spy` now raises a `.IgnoredKeywordWarning`
+for the keyword arguments 'interpolation' and 'linestyle' instead of silently
+ignoring them.
+
+Furthermore, `matplotlib.axes.Axes.spy` spy does now allow for an 'extent'
+argument (was silently ignored so far).
+
+A bug with `spy(..., origin='lower') is fixed: So far this flipped the
+data but not the y-axis resulting in a mismatch between axes labels and
+actual data indices. Now, `origin='lower'` flips both the data and the y-axis
+labels.
