Retagging release from 4.0.0-rc4 to 4.0.0.

In the statistics package v1.2.4, boxplot produces plots where the width of the box is proportional to the number of data points contained. While this is a nice feature, users might not want it under certain circumstances. Consider, for example, the comparison of two datasets that differ a lot in size:

Depending on the size of the figure window, the left box might not be visible at all, and even if it is, the borders of the "notches" cannot be seen.

Therefore, my suggestion is to make the automatic adjustment of the box width optional, i.e. to introduce a switch that selects either auto scaling or fixed box width.
