Hi,

I am pleased to announce the availability of NumPy 1.5.1. This bug-fix release comes almost 3 months after the 1.5.0 release, it contains no new features compared to 1.5.0.

Binaries, sources and release notes can be found at https://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this release.

Enjoy, The numpy developers.

========================= NumPy 1.5.1 Release Notes =========================

Numpy 1.5.1 is a bug-fix release with no new features compared to 1.5.0.

Numpy source code location changed ==================================

Numpy has stopped using SVN as the version control system, and moved to Git. The development source code for Numpy can from now on be found at

http://github.com/numpy/numpy

Note on GCC versions ====================

On non-x86 platforms, Numpy can trigger a bug in the recent GCC compiler versions 4.5.0 and 4.5.1: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45967 We recommend not using these versions of GCC for compiling Numpy on these platforms.

Bugs fixed ==========

Of the following, #1605 is important for Cython modules.

- #937: linalg: lstsq should always return real residual - #1196: lib: fix negative indices in s_ and index_exp - #1287: core: fix uint64 -> Python int cast - #1491: core: richcompare should return Py_NotImplemented when undefined - #1517: lib: close file handles after use in numpy.lib.npyio.* - #1605: core: ensure PEP 3118 buffers can be released in exception handler - #1617: core: fix clongdouble cast to Python complex() - #1625: core: fix detection for ``isfinite`` routine - #1626: core: fix compilation with Solaris 10 / Sun Studio 12.1

Scipy could not be built against Numpy 1.5.0 on OS X due to a numpy.distutils bug, #1399. This issue is fixed now.

- #1399: distutils: use C arch flags for Fortran compilation on OS X.

Python 3 specific; #1610 is important for any I/O:

- #----: f2py: make f2py script runnable on Python 3 - #1604: distutils: potential infinite loop in numpy.distutils - #1609: core: use accelerated BLAS, when available - #1610: core: ensure tofile and fromfile maintain file handle positions
