1.8 release update
by Charles R Harris 02 Jun '13

02 Jun '13

Hi All, Most of the PR's that were mentioned as desirable for the 1.8 release have been merged, or look to be merged in the next week or two. The current list of blockers<https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues?milestone=1&page=1&state=open>doesn't look to severe to me but I suspect that it is incomplete. The major outstanding issue I see is datetime and I'd like to get a small group together to work that out. As a start I think such a group should include Christopher Barker and Wes McKinney. Suggestions for other folks, or even volunteers, to be part of such a group are welcome. A lot of stuff has piled up over the last year for inclusion in the 1.8 release, and I'm sure some bugs and regressions have crept in along with the new code. On that account a lengthy wringing out period is probably going to be needed, so the sooner we can get the 1.8 branch tagged the better. I'd like to shoot for getting that done in 2-3 weeks. If there look to be difficult issues remaining, perhaps they can be worked out at scipy2013 if there is enough interest. Thoughts? Chuck

Effect of deprecating non-integers for integer function arguments
by Sebastian Berg 01 Jun '13

01 Jun '13

Hi, the current numpy master has deprecated non-integers for the use of indexing (not-fancy yet). However I think this should be moved further down in the numpy machinery which means that the conversion utils provided by numpy would generally raise warnings for non-integers. This means that for most numpy functions such as reshape, etc. the use of non-integers for arguments that are naturally integers is deprecated, which may also affect third party code in principle. Testing this against current SciPy appearently causes 56 failures (with deprecation warnings being raised). Are other project similarly affect by this change? The branch implementing this can be found in the PR https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/3243 Regards, Sebastian
