+3D hover coordinates
+--------------------
+
+The x, y, z coordinates displayed in 3D plots were previously showing
+nonsensical values. This has been fixed to report the coordinate on the view
+pane directly beneath the mouse cursor. This is likely to be most useful when
+viewing 3D plots along a primary axis direction when using an orthographic
+projection. Note that there is still no way to directly display the coordinates
+of the plotted data points.
