Release candidate 2.0 will come out mid-week next week

Hi all, I'd like to release numpy 1.0rc2 on about October 5 of next week. Then, the release of numpy 1.0 official should happen on Monday, October 17. Please try and get all fixes and improvements in before then. Backward-incompatible changes are not acceptable at this point (unless they are minor or actually bug-fixes). I think NumPy has been cooking long enough. Any remaining problems can be fixed with maintenance releases. When 1.0 comes out, we will make a 1.0 release branch where bug-fixes should go as well as on the main trunk (I'd love for a way to do that automatically). There are lots of projects that need to start converting to NumPy 1.0 if we are going to finally have a "merged" community. The actual release of NumPy 1.0 will indicate that we are now committing to stability. Thanks to all that have been contributing so much to the project. -Travis

In order to reduce the overhead of commiting bug fixes in both trunk and the 1.0 branch, you may want to delay the making of the 1.0 branch as much as possible. Eventually, when you have to start changes that properly belongs to trunk, then it's time to create the branch, but meanwhile you can save yourself quite a few syncronization work. Anyway, it is my pleasure to help finding bugs for NumPy! --
