Wheels built for Windows now bundle the MSVC runtime DLL msvcp140.dll. This enables importing Matplotlib on systems that do not have the runtime installed.
For Matplotlib 3.7, the minimum supported versions <dependencies> are being bumped:
| Dependency | min in mpl3.6 | min in mpl3.7 |
|---|---|---|
|

| pyparsing |

- There are no wheels or conda packages that support both Qt 5.9 (or older) and Python 3.8 (or newer).
This is consistent with our min_deps_policy and NEP29
- importlib-resources (>= 3.2.0; only required on Python < 3.10)
The maximum line length for new contributions has been extended from 79 characters to 88 characters. This change provides an extra 9 characters to allow code which is a single idea to fit on fewer lines (often a single line). The chosen length is the same as black.
