Hi all,<br>
<br>
I'm happy to announce the first beta release of Numpy 1.8.0. Please try<br>
this beta and report any issues on the numpy-dev mailing list.<br>
<br>
Source tarballs and release notes can be found at<br>
<a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.8.0b1/" target="_blank">https://sourceforge.net/<u></u>projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.<u></u>8.0b1/</a>. The Windows<br>
and OS X installers will follow when the infrastructure issues are dealt<br>
with.<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
I tried numpy-1.8.0.dev-86a6e6c with msvc9 and MKL 11.1 on win-amd64-py2.7. It builds OK but there are 23 test errors and 6 failures (attached).<br>
<br>
Some 3rd party packages (e.g. scipy, numexpr, pytables, bottleneck, pandas and matplotlib) that were built against numpy-MKL 1.7 fail tests when used with numpy-MKL 1.8. Other packages test OK (e.g. skimage, sklearn, statsmodels, mahotas, pygame). See <<a href="http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/tests/20130902-win-amd64-py2.7-numpy-1.8.0.dev-86a6e6c/" target="_blank">http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~<u></u>gohlke/pythonlibs/tests/<u></u>20130902-win-amd64-py2.7-<u></u>numpy-1.8.0.dev-86a6e6c/</a>> compared to <<a href="http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/tests/20130902-win-amd64-py2.7/" target="_blank">http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~<u></u>gohlke/pythonlibs/tests/<u></u>20130902-win-amd64-py2.7/</a>>. <br>
<br>
I have not looked in more detail or at other Python versions yet.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

I have windows 7 running in a virtual machine, and have downloaded the vsc9 express compiler and isos. Do I need to burn those guys to a disk in order to install or is there some windows magic that will let me install them directly from the isos? That done, I assume I can just download python 2.7 for windows, clone the repository, and do the usual python setup.py install thing. Anything I need to be wary about, any pointers?<br>
