Compatibility with mpl v3.9.2 (latest)

[cvanelteren]

Continuation of #458 and #450. This PR makes it up-to-date with the latest mpl version.
It passes the generate unittests from #458, I will do some finalize testing since the colormaps are the major change in the last couple of mpl versions.

[cvanelteren]

• TODO fix docs
• Note this makes use of the backwards compatibility for the colormaps. Over time these will be deprecated by mpl. I am still trying to figure out how @lukelbd uses the colormaps here, and how to adapt the code to mpl. For now everything seems to be running fine

[cvanelteren]

@huddao huddao I don't see any errors?

[huddao]

@cvanelteren The version is 'proplot==0.9.5.post425', I'm not sure this is the correct version.

[cvanelteren]

The correct version should be tagged as v0.9.91. Try installing it from here:

pip install git+https://github.com/cvanelteren/[email protected]

[huddao]

@cvanelteren Thanks!

[austin-hoover]

Working for me! Thank you cvanelteren.

[austin-hoover]

Any update on this? I'm posting analysis code for a paper and it would be great to reference the main proplot branch in the requirements.

[riley-brady]

Nothing that I've seen @austin-hoover. Still waiting on @lukelbd to come in and merge, as he is the only one with permissions. For now you will have to point to @cvanelteren's branch. You can always update your code repo linked to the paper at a later point and point back to a main release here.

[cvanelteren]

Any movement on this @lukelbd?

[austin-hoover]

Also PyPI doesn't allow direct links to GitHub repos, so projects on PyPI can't list working proplot version as a dependency right now.

[cvanelteren]

I wanted to address the current status of proplot's development. With the recent lack of movement on this project, there's a genuine concern about potentially losing our valuable contributors. To prevent this, I'm proposing we restructure the project under a more collaborative, organization-based framework that would:

1. Facilitate continued development
2. Decentralize the pull request process
3. Enable broader community participation

Beginning in the new year, I'm prepared to take on a more active leadership role in this initiative. My plan includes forking the repository to maintain development momentum, but I'm committed to keeping communication channels open with @lukelbd and other stakeholders.

I'd like to extend an invitation to all interested contributors to join this effort. If you're passionate about proplot's future and want to be part of its continued development, please reach out to discuss how we can collaborate effectively.

Together, we can ensure proplot remains a vibrant and well-maintained project that serves its community's needs.

Please keep us posted when you fork out and launch the project. My job has severely limited the time I have to directly contribute, but I can continue with scoping as I did here. Might have some opportunities to contribute directly as well. Thanks @cvanelteren and enjoy your well-earned vacation!

@cvanelteren count me in on helping with dev as I can and I'd like to be a part of the effort. Also, I am cross-referencing the issue currently open on more sustainable development (#452).

From the point of view of shipping a fork on conda-forge, it will be by far the easiest if the forked project gets a new name.

[cvanelteren]

Yes I agree @beckermr -- I already have a logo for it ;-). I will be in touch in the new year!

[pratiman-91]

@cvanelteren I am willing to help wherever I can. I like proplot, and it would be nice to see a continuous development along with the latest matplotlib.

[gepcel]

Any updates on this? Now matplolitb 3.9.3 is out. Would be nice to see continuous development along with the latest matplotlib.

[cvanelteren]

See thread above

[gepcel]

See thread above

Thanks for your reply. I have followed this thread since the very beginning, and I'm eager to hear some updates on the forking repository and maintaining development. Maybe I'm not capable of helping, but I like this package.

Any way I'll just wait for the new year.

[jenchen95]

Thank you very much for your contribution, although I regret the single pull request review access, when reviewers are in the middle of a busy work schedule or vacation process, quality contributions like this can go unnoticed, which can wear down the enthusiasm for open source contributions.
