If you look in Trac under "All Tickets by Milestone" you'll find all
nine tickets together under 1.6.0. Five are bug fixes, four are
enhancements. There are some missing tests, but all tickets have
proposed patches.


OK. I changed 1562 to enhancement because it adds a keyword. With that change the current status looks like this.

Bug Fixes:

1163 -- convert int64 correctly
1458 -- make loadtxt unpack structured arrays
1071 -- loadtxt fails if the last column contains empty value, under discussion
1565 -- duplicate of 1163

Enhancements:

1107 -- support for blocks of data, adds two keywords.
1562 -- add ndmin keyword to aid in getting correct dimensions, doesn't apply on top of previous.
1616 -- remove use of readline so input isn't restricted to files.
1731 -- allow loadtxt to read given number of rows, adds keyword.
1752 -- return empty array when empty file encountered, conflicts with 1616.


Some of this might should go into genfromtxt. None of the patches have tests.
