 Add ``minorticks_on()/off()`` methods for colorbar
 --------------------------------------------------
 
-A new method :meth:`.colorbar.Colobar.minorticks_on` has been added
-to correctly display minor ticks on a colorbar. This method
-doesn't allow the minor ticks to extend into the regions beyond vmin and vmax
-when the *extend* kwarg (used while creating the colorbar) is set to 'both',
-'max' or 'min'.
-A complementary method :meth:`.colorbar.Colobar.minorticks_off`

 Colorbar ticks can now be automatic
 -----------------------------------
 
 The number of ticks placed on colorbars was previously appropriate for a large
-colorbar, but looked bad if the colorbar was made smaller (i.e. via the ``shrink`` kwarg).
-This has been changed so that the number of ticks is now responsive to how
