It means there is a Travis CI build with NumPy 1.6.2. So any change to the
SciPy source code must compile with NumPy 1.6 and any later version of
NumPy.

There is no Travis CI build with NumPy 1.5. I don't think we know for sure
if it is really compatible with the current SciPy.

There is still a reference to 1.5 in Scipy, I forget where.

In INSTALL.rst.txt, will fix that now.

Ralf, I cannot compile Scipy 0.13.3 on my system, it seems to fail here

_decomp_update.pyx:60:0: 'cython_blas.pxd' not found

Although it is hard to tell, the traceback doesn't give much useful information. I suspect this is due to a cython version mismatch, as it seems to be looking for cython_blas.pxd but only cython_blas.c is available. Have you seen this before?
