There is no 1.2.2 out in the wild

[tomspur]

Probably matplotlib 1.2.1 was meant back then... Isn't it?

Git blame tells me that the one to put in those lines was @mdboom at commit
tomspur@ae31877.
I recall an oddity with this one as one usually do not update whats_new.rst
for bugfix releases. But the bug being fixed here happened to introduce a
new feature. I guess the question is if this bugfix actually came out for
1.2.1 or after and we just intended to release 1.2.2?

[mdboom]

Yeah -- this was made on the 1.2.x branch and noted there, but there was never a 1.2.2 release. We should just move this to 1.3.2 at this point (though we might never have one of those either).

EDIT: My point being that this should not be listed under 1.2.1, because the change does not exist there.

Closing - based on @mdboom's comments, this is a job for the release manager to do when the release notes are finalized.

Thanks for submitting the PR @tomspur.
