API Changes for 3.0.1ΒΆ

tight_layout.auto_adjust_subplotpars can return None now if the new subplotparams will collapse axes to zero width or height. This prevents tight_layout from being executed. Similarly tight_layout.get_tight_layout_figure will return None.

To improve import (startup) time, private modules are now imported lazily. These modules are no longer available at these locations:
