Hi all, I'd like to release numpy 1.0rc2 on about October 5 of next week. Then, the release of numpy 1.0 official should happen on Monday, October 17. Please try and get all fixes and improvements in before then. Backward-incompatible changes are not acceptable at this point (unless they are minor or actually bug-fixes). I think NumPy has been cooking long enough. Any remaining problems can be fixed with maintenance releases. When 1.0 comes out, we will make a 1.0 release branch where bug-fixes should go as well as on the main trunk (I'd love for a way to do that automatically). There are lots of projects that need to start converting to NumPy 1.0 if we are going to finally have a "merged" community. The actual release of NumPy 1.0 will indicate that we are now committing to stability. Thanks to all that have been contributing so much to the project. -Travis |
