again (bug introduced in 1.3.0) [709]
- Stacked bar traces now correctly set the first bar position when leading gaps
are present (bug introduced in 1.11.0) [716]
- Bar traces with `layout.barmode` relative now correctly compute the bar sum of
the first position when positive and negative values are present [723]
- Event `plotly_relayout` is emitted upon pan / zoom on a mapbox subplot [727]
- Lasso and select box drag modes now work with fixed ranged axes [728]

Fixed
- Fix colorscale restyle calls on heatmap traces (bug introduced in 1.14.0)
[694]

`axref` and `ayref` attributes [610]
- Attribute `hoveron` is added for `scatter` and `scatterternary` traces which
adds the option to show hover labels about fill regions (instead of simply of
about data points) [673]
- Layout shapes can now be moved and resized (except for 'path' shapes) in
editable contexts [660]

Changed
- Numerous additions and changes where made to the mapbox layout layers
attributes (introduced in 1.13.0). Namely, `circle` and `symbol` layer type
where added. Note that some style attributes have been renamed to match the
mapbox-gl API more closely. [681]

Fixed
- Off-screen heatmap traces are properly deleted (bug introduced in 1.5.1)
[655]

1.4.0) [655]
- Heatmap x/y brick generation is now functional for 0 and 1 item columns [651]

describe their behavior [662]

Added
- Beta version of the `scattermapbox` trace type - which allows users to create
`mapbox-gl` maps using the plotly.js API. Note that `scattermapbox` is only
available through custom bundling in this release [626]

Use `Plotly.setPlotConfig({ logging: /* 1 or 2 */ })` to (1) display warnings
only or (2) all logs [590]
- Thorough `mesh3d` attribute descriptions [593]

Changed
- Generalize hover picking routine (to make more easily re-usable for other plot
types) [575, 631]

Fixed
- Fix `Plotly.toImage` and `Plotly.downloadImage` bug specific to Chrome 51 on
OSX [604]
- Fix `Plotly.downloadImage` for `svg` types [604]

- `FF.create_scatterplotmatrix` now by default does not show the trace labels for the box plots, only if `diag=box` is selected for the diagonal subplot type.
