On behalf of the scipy development team, I am pleased to announce the second release candidate for scipy 0.18.0.

Please test it --- both the release itself on your machines and your code against this release --- and report results on the issue tracker or scipy-dev mailing list.

Source tarballs and release notes are available from Github releases, https://github.com/scipy/scipy/releases/tag/v0.18.0rc2

OS X and Linux wheels are being built now, and I will upload them to PyPI when they are ready.

I would like to flag two areas where additional scrutiny and testing would be most appreciated:

* Precision loss in some corner cases was reported to occur on Fedora 23 and 24 with OpenBLAS, see https://github.com/scipy/scipy/issues/6286.

* On Windows, a CRT incompatibility was reported when building with MSVC and MKL, see https://github.com/scipy/scipy/issues/6336.

There are additional issues on s390x (https://github.com/scipy/scipy/issues/6338), so if you are using this platform, we appreciate your help resolving them.

The (revised) release schedule is:

25 July: final release

Thanks to everyone who contributed!

Cheers,

Evgeni
