 the configured minimum. This release also allows negative radii to be used for
 grids and ticks, which were previously silently ignored.

 Radial ticks have been modified to be parallel to the circular grid line, and
 angular ticks have been modified to be parallel to the grid line. It may also
 be useful to rotate tick *labels* to match the boundary. Calling
 ``ax.tick_params(rotation='auto')`` will enable new behavior: radial tick
 labels will be parallel to the circular grid line, and angular tick labels will
 be perpendicular to the grid line (i.e., parallel to the outer boundary.)
