+New rcParams for dates: set converter and whether to use interval_multiples
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The new :rc:`dates.converter` allows toggling between
+`matplotlib.dates.DateConverter` and `matplotlib.dates.ConciseDateConverter`
+using the strings 'auto' and 'concise' respectively.
+
+The new :rc:`dates.interval_multiples` allows toggling between the dates
+locator trying to pick ticks at set intervals (i.e. day 1 and 15 of the
+month), versus evenly spaced ticks that start where ever the
+timeseries starts.
