Hello, I am pushing back the NumPy 1.0.5 release by at least 1 week (http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/numpy/milestone/1.0.5). After speaking with Travis O., we would like to see the following branches merged this week: http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/numpy/browser/branches/maskedarray http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/numpy/browser/branches/build_with_scons/ Once these merges occur we would like to wait at least 1 week, before branching for the 1.0.5 release. This will give us an opportunity to see much wider testing of this work before making the new release. Please let me know if there is any reason that we should delay merging these two branches. -- Jarrod Millman Computational Infrastructure for Research Labs 10 Giannini Hall, UC Berkeley phone: 510.643.4014 http://cirl.berkeley.edu/

Hi,

Excellent idea - and congratulations to David for all his hard work - but this is a large change, and I wonder if we need more time with the scons build system in the svn trunk? Not to say it should not be in 1.0.5, but suggesting a little more delay might be useful. See y'all, Matthew

IOW, the only things merged in the trunk would be the hook in distutils to call scons, the scons scripts, as well as a few modifications which hopefully should not change anything. Although there is still a lot to do in numscons, I don't expect much changes in the merged code. cheers, David

All that is going to be merged are the "hooks" necessary to allow his numscons package to work. This is not a big change, as far as I know. -Travis

Yes, sorry, I misunderstood - and had thought the plan was to move to the numscons build system as the default. Now I've understood it, it sounds like an excellent plan. Matthew
