Thanks, Jarrod. Should I replace the old numpy 1.0.4 information at http://www.scipy.org/Download with the 1.1.0? It's still listing 1.0.4, but I wonder if there's some compatibility with scipy 0.6 issue that should cause it to stay at 1.0.4. In either case, I think the page should be updated -- particularly as searching Google for "numpy download" results in that page as the first hit. -Andrew Jarrod Millman wrote:
I'm pleased to announce the release of NumPy 1.1.0.
NumPy is the fundamental package needed for scientific computing with Python. It contains:
* a powerful N-dimensional array object * sophisticated (broadcasting) functions * basic linear algebra functions * basic Fourier transforms * sophisticated random number capabilities * tools for integrating Fortran code.
Besides it's obvious scientific uses, NumPy can also be used as an efficient multi-dimensional container of generic data. Arbitrary data-types can be defined. This allows NumPy to seamlessly and speedily integrate with a wide-variety of databases.
This is the first minor release since the 1.0 release in October 2006. There are a few major changes, which introduce some minor API breakage. In addition this release includes tremendous improvements in terms of bug-fixing, testing, and documentation.
For information, please see the release notes: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=602575&group_id=1369
Thank you to everybody who contributed to this release.
Enjoy,
