 HISTORY:
+1.16:
+- fixed bug #111 [fillbetween] strange behavior when `soft clip` is used and one of the paths touches the axis border
+- fixed bug #183: Nan in the first line of a numeric table was interpreted as column name
+- fixed bug #187 Wrong output from mod in axis 
+- fixed bug #109 `visualization depends on` doesn't work with table from pgfplotstable is now fixed for numeric values
+- fixed bug: \pgfplotstablenew was unable to create tables with 0 or 1 rows.
+- fixed bug: 114 fillbetween suffered from inaccuracy (produced invisible segments)
+- fixed bug #139 [fillbetween] numerical issues with dense points 
+- fixed bug #153: \begin{tikzpicture}[scale=...] combined with fill between or
+  'set layers' resulted in a wrong bounding box
+- \addplot gnuplot: autodetected unbounded coordinates
+- new feature: parse tick positions using math parser (tracker #69)
+- new feature: programmatic access to axis coordinates for given canvas coordinates (\pgfplotspointgetcoordinates, tracker 68)
+- new feature: 'x filter/.append expression', a stackable variant of 'x filter/.expression'
+
 1.15: bugfix release
 - fixed regression: fpu caused forest library to fail as soon as one loads pgfplots
 - fixed bug #149 : \edef{...\to...} was wrong and caused \pgfplotstablevertcat to fail

+% ======================================================
+% compatibility with PGF 3.0.1a
+% ======================================================
+%
+%%% This file is a copy of some part of PGF/Tikz.
+%%% It has been copied here to provide :
+%%%  - compatibility with older PGF versions
+%%%  - availability of PGF contributions by Christian Feuersaenger
+%%%    which are necessary or helpful for pgfplots.
+%%%
+%%% It contains a couple of patches such that selected changes which
+%%% are also part of PGF/TikZ (and can be found in the development
+%%% version of PGF/TikZ) are available within pgfplots.
+%%%
+%%% this file contains solvers which have been written by Christian Feuersaenger (primarily, but not only, for pgfplots)
+
+% Solves a linear equation system of size 2x2 using gauss elimination.
+%
+% It employs TeX register arithmetics to do so.
+% #1: should contain 4 sets of braces with matrix entries, 
+% 	{<a11>}{<a12>}
+% 	{<a21>}{<a22>}
+% 	where each entry should be a number without unit.
+% 	It is acceptable if '#1' is a macro which expands to the expected
+% 	format.
+% #2: should contain 2 sets of braces with the right-hand-side,
+% 	{<r1>}{<r2>}
+% 	where each entry should be a number without unit.
+% 	It is acceptable if '#2' is a macro which expands to the expected
+% 	format.
+%
+% It will assign \pgfmathresult to contain two sets of braces with the
+% result.
+%
+% Example:
+% \pgfutilsolvetwotwoleq{
+% 	{0.24}{1}
+% 	{-0.97}{0}
+% }{
+% 	{-7}
+% 	{18}
+% }
+% -> yields \pgfmathresult={−18.55618}{−2.54642}
+%
+% The algorithm employs column pivotisation.
+%
+% If the matrix is singular, the routine will return {}.

+% A command which returns high-level (logical) coordinates into the keys
 % /data point/x
 % /data point/y
 % /data point/z
 % /data point/meta

+%
+% The command has two modes:
+%
+% 1. without arguments. In this case, it reads the "current" point
+% from the plot handler.
+%
+% 2. with an argument in curly braces. In this case, it expects one of
+% the following:
+% a) a \pgfpoint instruction (i.e. some code which assigns \pgf@x and
+% \pgf@y) and returns the associated logical (high-level) coordinates.
+% b) a TikZ point starting with '('.
+%
+% Examples:
+% * \pgfplotspointgetcoordinates
+%  -> useful for nodes near coords
+% * \pgfplotspointgetcoordinates{\pgfpoint{200pt}{100pt}}
+% * \pgfplotspointgetcoordinates{(5,3)}
+%
