Hello everyone, I'm pleased to announce the latest 0.7.1 release of DyND. The release notes are at https://github.com/libdynd/libdynd/blob/master/docs/release_notes.txt . Over the last 6 months, DyND has really matured a lot and many features that were "experimental" before are quite usable at the moment. At the same time, we still have bugs and issues to sort out, so I wouldn't claim DyND has reached stability just yet. Nevertheless, I'd encourage early adopters to try it out. You can install it easily using conda, via "conda install -c dynd/channel/dev dynd-python". Presently, the core DyND team consists of myself, Mark Wiebe, and Ian Henriksen, alongside several other contributors. Our focus is almost entirely on gaps in stability and usability -- the novel features in DyND that people find attractive (including missing values, ragged arrays, variable-sized strings, dynamic custom types, and overloadable callables, among others) are functioning pretty well now. NumPy compatibility and interoperability is very important to us, and is something we are constantly improving. We would eventually like to have an optional NumPy-like API that is fully consistent with what a NumPy user would expect, but we're not there just yet. The DyND team would be happy to answer any questions people have about DyND, like "what is working and what is not" or "what do we still need to do to hit DyND 1.0". All the best, Irwin

OK, how about: How does the performance. I'd DyND compare to Numpy for the core functionality they both support? - CHB
