14+ Changes in 1.4.x
15+ ================
16+
17+ * A major refactoring of the axes module was made. The axes module has been
18+ splitted into smaller modules:
19+
20+ - the `_base ` module, which contains a new private _AxesBase class. This
21+ class contains all methods except plotting and labelling methods.
22+ - the `axes ` module, which contains the Axes class. This class inherits
23+ from _AxesBase, and contains all plotting and labelling methods.
24+ - the `_subplot ` module, with all the classes concerning subplotting.
25+
26+ There are a couple of things that do not exists in the `axes ` module's
27+ namespace anymore. If you use them, you need to import them from their
28+ original location:
29+
30+ - math -> `import math `
31+ - ma -> `from numpy import ma `
32+ - cbook -> `from matplotlib import cbook `
33+ - division -> `from __future__ import division `
34+ - docstring -> `from matplotlib impotr docstring `
35+ - is_sequence_of_strings -> `from matplotlib.cbook import is_sequence_of_strings `
36+ - is_string_like -> `from matplotlib.cbook import is_string_like `
37+ - iterable -> `from matplotlib.cbook import iterable `
38+ - itertools -> `import itertools `
39+ - martist -> `from matplotlib import artist as martist `
40+ - matplotlib -> `import matplotlib `
41+ - mcoll -> `from matplotlib import collections as mcoll `
42+ - mcolors -> `from matplotlib import colors as mcolors `
43+ - mcontour -> `from matplotlib import contour as mcontour `
44+ - mpatches -> `from matplotlib import patchs as mpatches `
45+ - mpath -> `from matplotlib import path as mpath `
46+ - mquiver -> `from matplotlib import quiver as mquiver `
47+ - mstack -> `from matplotlib import stack as mstack `
48+ - mstream -> `from matplotlib import stream as mstream `
49+ - mtable -> `from matplotlib import table as mtable `
