ANN: SciPy 0.9.0 release candidate 1

Hi, I am pleased to announce the availability of the first release candidate of SciPy 0.9.0. This will be the first SciPy release to include support for Python 3 (all modules except scipy.weave), as well as for Python 2.7. Please try this release candidate and report any problems on the scipy-dev mailing list. Binaries, sources and release notes can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/scipy/files/scipy/0.9.0rc1/. Note that some OS X binaries are not uploaded yet, they should follow in the next few days. Enjoy, Ralf

Any chance you'd accept my recent bugfix to the matlab io for the release? Thanks a lot, Matthew

"fix read of empty char arrays with non-zero leading dimensions"? It sounds like a corner case and it is not in Python, so I'd rather not put it in at the last moment.
It looks like we will need a second RC though because of ticket 1210, so if you think it's an important fix and explain why, you could change my mind. Cheers, Ralf

I can't say how common the offending input is - but it does look like it's possible to do it from matlab (ie the matrices are valid matlab matrices, unlike some more pathological cases we've had). I understand your reluctance, I don't feel very strongly, let's wait then for the next release. Thanks, Matthew
