Hi, now that 1.0 is out I would like to ask again about the status of the numpy ebook. Is there any mechanism in place where owners can get the updates? Note that this is not a request to Travis to send me the latest version by private email. That would be inefficient and my need is not that urgent. Nevertheless I think that issue should be settled. Excuse me if I've missed something obvious in that respect. Thanks, Sven ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

There will be an update, soon. I'm currently working on the index, corrections, and formatting issues. The update will be sent in conjunction with the release of 1.0.1 which I am targetting in 2 weeks. Thanks for everybody's patience. If you need an update now, I'm happy to send it to you by private email.

This sounds promising. I actually have had problems printing the guide, every information box showed up completely black except for the emblem. On 11/2/06, Fernando Perez <fperez.net@gmail.com> wrote:
