  • abline!; also extrema allows plotting functions without giving x (i.e. plot(cos, 0, 10); plot!(sin)) @pkofod @joshday
  • Integration with PlotlyJS.jl for using Plotly inside a Blink window @spencerlyon2
  • The Plotly backend has been split into my built-in version (plotly()) and @spencerlyon2's backend (plotlyjs())
  • Revamped backend setup code for easily adding new backends
  • New docs (WIP) at http://juliaplots.github.io/
  • Overhaul to :legend keyword (see JuliaPlots#135)
  • New dependency on Requires, allows auto-loading of DataFrames support
  • Support for plotting lists of Tuples and FixedSizeArrays
  • new @animate macro for super simple animations (see JuliaPlots#111 (comment))
  • allow Function for :fillrange and zcolor arguments (for example: scatter(sin, 0:10, marker=15, fill=(cos,0.4), zcolor=sin))
  • allow vectors of PlotText without x/y coords (for example: scatter(rand(10), m=20, ann=map(text, 1:10)))
  • Lots and lots of fixes
