115+ Axes labels spanning multiple rows/columns
116+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
117+
118+ ``Axes.label_outer `` now correctly keep the x labels and tick labels visible
119+ for Axes spanning multiple rows, as long as they cover the last row of the Axes
120+ grid. (This is consistent with keeping the y labels and tick labels visible
121+ for Axes spanning multiple columns as long as they cover the first column of
122+ the Axes grid.)
123+
124+ The ``Axes.is_last_row `` and ``Axes.is_last_col `` methods now correctly return
125+ True for Axes spanning multiple rows, as long as they cover the last row or
126+ column respectively. Again this is consistent with the behavior for axes
127+ covering the first row or column.
128+
129+ The ``Axes.rowNum `` and ``Axes.colNum `` attributes are deprecated, as they only
130+ refer to the first grid cell covered by the Axes. Instead, use the new
131+ ``ax.get_subplotspec().rowspan `` and ``ax.get_subplotspec().colspan ``
132+ properties, which are `range ` objects indicating the whole span of rows and
133+ columns covered by the subplot.
134+
135+ (Note that all methods and attributes mentioned here actually only exist on
136+ the ``Subplot `` subclass of `Axes `, which is used for grid-positioned Axes but
137+ not for Axes positioned directly in absolute coordinates.)
138+
139+ The `.GridSpec ` class gained the ``nrows `` and ``ncols `` properties as more
140+ explicit synonyms for the parameters returned by ``GridSpec.get_geometry ``.
