+Changed default ``autorange`` behavior in boxplots

+
+Prior to v1.5.2, the whiskers of boxplots would extend to the mininum
+and maximum values if the quartiles were all equal (i.e., Q1 = median
+= Q3). This behavior has been disabled by default to restore consistency
+with other plotting packages.
+
+To restore the old behavior, simply set ``autorange=True`` when
+calling ``plt.boxplot``.

 the new rcParam `contour.corner_mask` instead.  The new default behaviour is
 equivalent to using `corner_mask=True`; the previous behaviour can be obtained
 using `corner_mask=False` or by changing the rcParam.  The example

 demonstrates the difference.  Use of the old contouring algorithm, which is
 obtained with `corner_mask='legacy'`, is now deprecated.

 `ylim`), matplotlib currently does not currently rescale the other axis.  The
 result is that the displayed curves or symbols may be compressed into a tiny
 portion of the available area, so that the final plot conveys much less

 The proposed change of behavior would make matplotlib choose the scale for the
 remaining axis using only the data that falls within the limits for the axis
