+Source links can be shown or hidden for each Sphinx plot directive
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+The :doc:`Sphinx plot directive </api/sphinxext_plot_directive_api>`
+(``.. plot::``) now supports a ``:show-source-link:`` option to show or hide
+the link to the source code for each plot. The default is set using the
+``plot_html_show_source_link`` variable in :file:`conf.py` (which
+defaults to True).
