<h1>Adding API change notes<a class="headerlink" href="#adding-api-change-notes" title="Link to this heading">#</a></h1>
<p>API change notes for future releases are collected in <code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">doc/api/next_api_changes/</span></code>.
They are divided into four subdirectories:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><strong>Deprecations</strong>: Announcements of future changes. Typically, these will
raise a deprecation warning and users of this API should change their code
to stay compatible with future releases of Matplotlib. If possible, state
what should be used instead.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Removals</strong>: Parts of the API that got removed. If possible, state what
should be used instead.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Behaviour changes</strong>: API that stays valid but will yield a different
result.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Development changes</strong>: Changes to the build process, dependencies, etc.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Please place new entries in these directories with a new file named
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">99999-ABC.rst</span></code>, where <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">99999</span></code> would be the PR number, and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ABC</span></code> the
author's initials. Typically, each change will get its own file, but you may
also amend existing files when suitable. The overall goal is a comprehensible
documentation of the changes.</p>
<p>A typical entry could look like this:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>Locators
~~~~~~~~
The unused `Locator.autoscale()` method is deprecated (pass the axis
limits to `Locator.view_limits()` instead).
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Please avoid using references in section titles, as it causes links to be
confusing in the table of contents. Instead, ensure that a reference is
included in the descriptive text. Use inline literals (double backticks)
to denote code objects in the title.</p>
