``plt.get_cmap`` and ``matplotlib.cm.get_cmap`` return a copy
2+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3+
4+
Formerly, `~.pyplot.get_cmap` and `.cm.get_cmap` returned a global version of a
5+
`.Colormap`. This was prone to errors as modification of the colormap would
6+
propagate from one location to another without warning. Now, a new copy of the
7+
colormap is returned.
