+2013-06-30 Add support for plotting callables via fplot
+           Now one can use fplot and pass a callable to plot.  Plotted
+					 coordinates are dynamically managed based on the bounds of the
+					 current viewport - Damon McDougall
+
 2013-06-26 Refactored the axes module: the axes module is now a folder,
 	   containing the following submodule:
 	      - _subplots.py, containing all the subplots helper methods

+Callable plotting via fplot
+```````````````````````````
+
+Damon McDougall added :func:`matplotlib.pyplot.fplot` which offers the
+flexibilty of plotting callables.  This is similar to Matlab's fplot.  Zooming
+and panning dynamically adjusts the plotted coordinates, allowing the
+possibilty to explore parts of the function that are less well behaved.  An
+attempt has been made to detect singularities in functions as well.  This
+feature is experimental and is likely to change in the future.
