[matplotlib-devel] numpy indexing changes

This is just a heads-up: some indexing changes in the numpy 1.9rc break 
matplotlib, as revealed in the mpl tests; there is a discussion on the 
numpy-discussion list about what to do about it.  It looks like they 
will back off on the changes and put in deprecations, giving us time to 
modify mpl.  I don't think the required modifications will be extensive, 
intrusive, or difficult in the least.

Somewhat related, I have been noticing warnings in the tests coming from 
some masked array usage, and maybe other things.  It would be nice to 
get everything cleaned up, and see the tests fly by with no warnings.  I 
don't have time to work on it now, though.  If you have been thinking 
you would like to help out, but haven't taken the plunge yet, this would 
be a good way to get started.
