v2.2.2 (21-Jun-2026)
====================
Bugfixes
--------
- Fix `matplotlib==3.11` compatibility, where `plt.style.core` namespace was refactored into `plt.style`.
  See issue 163: https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/issues/163

v2.2.1 (25-Feb-2026)
====================
Maintenance
-----------
- Mitigate packaging issue where styles are not included in local bdist when `.git` folder is not present.
  Affected users exclusively are those building the wheel by themselves from a version repo source file, e.g., via AUR.
  See issue 151: https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/issues/151

v2.2.0 (20-Nov-2025)
====================
New features
------------
- Fix `['science', 'no-latex']` font does not work with symbols (e.g. degree symbol)
  This style set was found to be incompatible with _Cartopy_.
- Add all 23 "discrete rainbow" styles proposed by Paul Tol on his website (by @IchBinGROOT)
  Access them with the style names `discrete-rainbow-1`, `discrete-rainbow-2`, ..., `discrete-rainbow-23`
- Update `README.md` to reflect that _Install from `conda-forge` is now available!_

Maintenance
-----------
- Update Paul Tol's webpage link to https://sronpersonalpages.nl/~pault/ in relevant comments through the project.
- Improve `turkish-font.mplstyle` (may add some breaking changes)
   1. `:` and `!` are now interpreted as text by default, not as control characters.
   2. Assume UTF-8 encoding by default.
   3. Enhance compatibility, especially with T1 font encoding, by using the package `lmodern`.
- Now all subdirectories of the ``styles`` folder are parsed for styles, instead of just the first two levels.
- Upgrade & unify issue templates.
