The minimum supported version of Matplotlib has been raised from 2.1.0 to
3.3.0. You will now need to have Matplotlib 3.3.0 installed if you're using
Matplotlib-based visualization functions such as the ``'mpl'`` backend for
the :func:`~qiskit.visualization.circuit_drawer` function or the
:func:`~qiskit.visualization.plot_bloch_vector` function. This was done for
two reasons, the first is because recent versions of Matplotlib have
deprecated the use of APIs around 3D visualizations that were compatible
with older releases and second installing older versions of Matplotlib
was becoming increasingly difficult as matplotlib's upstream dependencies
have caused incompatibilities that made testing moving forward more
difficult.
