## Version 0.12.7

- Fixed other random crashes (segfaults) on Linux related to Qt objects stored in
private data structures (`QwtGraphic_PrivateData`, `QwtLegendLabel_PrivateData`)
- Fixed random crashes (segfaults) on Linux related to conflicts between Qt and Python reference counting mechanisms:
- This issue was only happening on Linux, and only with Python 3.12, probably due to changes in Python garbage collector behavior introduced in Python 3.12. Moreover, it was only triggered with an extensive test suite, such as the one provided by the `PlotPy` project.
- The solution was to derive all private classes containing Qt objects from `QObject` instead of `object`, in order to let Qt manage the reference counting of its objects.
- This change was applied to the following classes:
- `QwtLinearColorMap_PrivateData`
- `QwtColumnSymbol_PrivateData`
- `QwtDynGridLayout_PrivateData`
- `QwtGraphic_PrivateData`
- `QwtLegendLabel_PrivateData`
- `QwtNullPaintDevice_PrivateData`
- `QwtPlotCanvas_PrivateData`
- `QwtPlotDirectPainter_PrivateData`
- `QwtPlotGrid_PrivateData`
- `QwtPlotLayout_PrivateData`
- `QwtPlotMarker_PrivateData`
- `QwtPlotRenderer_PrivateData`
- `QwtPlot_PrivateData`
- `QwtAbstractScaleDraw_PrivateData`
- `QwtScaleDraw_PrivateData`
- `QwtScaleWidget_PrivateData`
- `QwtSymbol_PrivateData`
- `QwtText_PrivateData`
- Removed deprecated code regarding PyQt4 compatibility

## Version 0.12.6

structures (`QwtText` and `QwtSymbol`)

will be taken into account (previously, the test suite has to be run with
`pytest qwt` in order to be successfully configured)

## Version 0.12.4

- Fixed segmentation fault issue reported in the `PlotPy` project:
- See [PlotPy's Issue #13](https://github.com/PlotPyStack/PlotPy/issues/13) for the
original issue.
- The issue was caused by the `QwtSymbol` class constructor, and more specifically
by its private data object, which instanciated an empty `QtPainterPath` object,
causing a segmentation fault on Linux, Python 3.12 and PyQt5.

## Version 0.12.3

- Fixed `Fatal Python error` issue reported in the `PlotPy` project:
- See [PlotPy's Issue #11](https://github.com/PlotPyStack/PlotPy/issues/11) for the
original issue, even if the problem is not directly pointed out in the issue
comments.
- The issue was caused by the `QwtAbstractScaleDraw` cache mechanism, which was
keeping references to `QSizeF` objects that were deleted by the garbage collector
at some point. This was causing a segmentation fault, but only on Linux, and
only when executing the `PlotPy` test suite in a specific order.
- Thanks to @yuzibo for helping to reproduce the issue and providing a test case,
that is the `PlotPy` Debian package build process.

yet released. In the meantime, requirements have been updated to exclude NumPy V2.

- Fix `QwtPlot.axisInterval` (was raising `AttributeError`)

- 30% performance improvement (measured by `qwt.tests.test_loadtest`) by optimizing the `QwtAbstractScaleDraw.tickLabel` method:
- Suppressed an unnecessary call to `QFont.textSize` (which can be quite slow)
- Cached the text size with the label `QwtText` object
- Added support for margins in `QwtPlot` (see Issue #82):
- Default margins are set to 0.05 (5% of the plot area) at each side of the plot
- Margins are adjustable for each plot axis using `QwtPlot.setAxisMargin` (and
`QwtPlot.axisMargin` to get the current value)
- Added an additional margin to the left of ticks labels: this margin is set to one
character width, to avoid the labels to be truncated while keeping a tight layout

- Added an additional margin to the left of ticks labels: this margin is set to one character width, to avoid the labels to be truncated while keeping a tight layout
- Slighly improved the new flat style (see V0.7.0) by selecting default fonts

objects instead of the list of stop values
