[Numpy-discussion] NumPy 1.16

Hi All, Just an update of the NumPy 1.16 release schedule. The last PR milestoned for the release is #12219 <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/12219>, and it is about done. The current release blocker is the upcoming OpenBLAS 0.3.4, which should fix the reported threading problems, but if it doesn't come out in the next month we might want to revisit that. The OpenBLAS issues for 0.3.4 are here <https://github.com/xianyi/OpenBLAS/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+milestone%3...>. Meanwhile, other PR's continue to go in. Chuck
