Will numpy 1.7.0 final be binary compatible with the rc?

Hello all,
Will the numpy 1.7.0 'final' be binary compatible with the release candidate(s)? i.e. Would it be safe for me to release a Windows installer for a package using the NumPy C API compiled against the NumPy 1.7.0rc?
I'm specifically interested in Python 3.3, and NumPy 1.7 will be the first release to support that. For older versions of Python I can use NumPy 1.6 instead.
Thanks,
Peter

Yes, that should be safe.

Yes. I plan to release rc2 immediately once
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/2964
is merged (e.g. I am hoping for today). The final should then be identical to rc2.

Great - in that case I'll wait a couple of days and use rc2 for this (just in case there is a subtle difference from rc1).
Thanks,
Peter

Awesome. The rc2 is out.
