+2012-08-11 Fix path-closing bug in patches.Polygon, so that regardless
+           of whether the path is the initial one or was subsequently

 2012-08-05 When a norm is passed to contourf, either or both of the
            vmin, vmax attributes of that norm are now respected.
            Formerly they were respected only if both were
