25+ Improved default backend selection
26+ ----------------------------------
27+
28+ The default backend no longer must be set as part of the build
29+ process. Instead, at run time, the builtin backends are tried in
30+ sequence until one of them imports.

35+ Cyclic colormaps
36+ ----------------
37+
38+ Two new colormaps named 'twilight' and 'twilight_shifted' have been
39+ added. These colormaps start and end on the same color, and have two
40+ symmetric halves with equal lightness, but diverging color. Since they
41+ wrap around, they are a good choice for cyclic data such as phase
42+ angles, compass directions, or time of day. Like *viridis * and
43+ *cividis *, *twilight * is perceptually uniform and colorblind friendly.
