Thanks Tyler.

Regarding Optimize. It seems that lots of PRs and issues are pointing towards an overhaul of the module. My position would be to solve what can be solved for the release with open PRs and for the next release we should lay out a plan to evolve the module. 

What do you think Andrew? Could we plan a specific meeting for that maybe?

Cheers,
Pamphile

Hi,

A few PRs that might benefit from some extra attention:

- a stats PR with a tricky debate related to the "nan" policy: https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/13572#discussion_r625334934
- a set of alternate PRs that have been described as one of the bigger pain points for optimize: https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/13143#issuecomment-841737552

Best wishes,
Tyler

I would also appreciate if other win users can give it a go. It might be the case that my system is the exception so we can ignore my issue.

Hi,

SciPy 1.6.0 was released December 31/2020 (a bit late), a little more than 4 months ago, and I think we'd like to keep a roughly biannual release cadence.

I'd like to proposed the following schedule for 1.7.0:
- May 26/2021: branch 1.7.x
- May 29/2021: rc1
- June 11/2021: rc2 (if needed)
- June 20/2021: final release

Sounds good to me.

As always, it is a good idea to start tagging things that should be in the 1.7.0 release & please do help with reviewing PRs/issues that are tagged--current counts are:

- PRs: 24 open with 1.7.0 milestone
- issues: 8 open with 1.7.0 milestone

Also great to update the release notes wiki as appropriate: https://github.com/scipy/scipy/wiki/Release-note-entries-for-SciPy-1.7.0

Thoughts/objections for the proposed schedule? The new build time dependency/transpiler, Pythran, would be a notable addition to this release, assuming that moves forward.

There's a couple of nice PRs pending that depend on it with only a pure Python fallback. While I'm pretty happy with how the use of Pythran is shaping up, I think we should leave it as an optional build dependency only for this release, and try to make it non-optional afterwards. There's always the chance we'll find something unexpected in the release, and there's Windows build thing that needs sorting out - it works for all wheels, but Ilhan is having some trouble with a local build setup.

Cheers,
Ralf
