+New hist functionality
+----------------------
+
+Nic Eggert added a new `stack kwarg to :meth:`~matplotlib.pyplot.hist` that
+allows creation of stacked histograms using any of the histogram types.
+Previously, this functionality was only available by using the `barstacked`
+histogram type. Now, when `stacked=True` is passed to the function, any of the
+histogram types can be stacked.
