This is a release candidate for seaborn v0.13.0, a major release with a complete overhaul of seaborn's categorical plotting functions. Please test the release candidate, especially the categorical plots. The internals of these functions have been completely rewritten to provide new functionality and to better align with the rest of the library. There are some intentional changes to default behavior / deprecations, but also the potential for unintentional breakage. Please help surface any examples of the latter prior to final release. See the Release Notes for more information about the new features and changes. Please open a GitHub issue with a reproducible example demonstrating any problems that you encounter. The final release is targeted for the end of September.
