SciPy 0.6.0 release planned for August 31st
Hello everyone, Now that SciPy 0.5.2.1 is out the door it is time to get a new feature release done as well. SciPy 0.5.2 was released over 8 months ago (2006-12-07) and a lot of things have been improved and fixed since then. After talking with Travis Oliphant and Robert Kern (as well as quite a few other people at the SciPy conference), we decided to overhaul the release process. On Monday, August 27th, I will make a 0.6.x branch. I would like to release 0.6.0 on Friday, August 31st. Continued development will occur on the trunk and will lead to a 0.7.x branch 3 months later on Monday, November 26th. If there are any important bugs in the 0.6.0 release we will make a 0.6.1 release and so on. I have started putting together a 0.6 roadmap here (it should mostly be a list of major things that have already been added or fixed): http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/scipy/milestone/0.6 Please don't make any major changes to the trunk between now and next Monday. If you can I would like to ask everyone to look through the open tickets and close anything that has already been fixed. Even better if you see something that you can easily fix without breaking something else, please do so. If you find a ticket that should be a release blocker, please let me know ASAP. Currently, there are 4 release blockers that I want fixed before making the 0.6.0 tag: http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/scipy/ticket/238 http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/scipy/ticket/401 http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/scipy/ticket/406 http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/scipy/ticket/482 I wanted to get this timeline out ASAP, but there has been a lot of discussion recently about packaging. I agree that we need to get packaging sorted out as well. I will send out my thoughts about packaging later today. Thanks, -- Jarrod Millman Computational Infrastructure for Research Labs 10 Giannini Hall, UC Berkeley phone: 510.643.4014 http://cirl.berkeley.edu/

Hi, Ticket 405 can be closed as it is now part of the openopt scikit. Matthieu 2007/8/22, Jarrod Millman <millman@berkeley.edu>:
