[AstroPy] Astropy v4.1rc2 ready for testing

[Erik Tollerud]

Hello all,

At long last the second release candidate (RC) for Astropy v4.1 is ready
for testing.  Astute observers may have seen this was out in source form a
few weeks ago, but the wheels-building infrastructure is back in action,
and the RC is is now available for general testing via:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/astropy/4.1rc2

You should be able to install the RC by doing:

pip install astropy --pre

or

pip install astropy==4.1rc2

You can find the documentation corresponding to this release at:

https://docs.astropy.org/en/v4.1rc2/

including the 'What's new in v4.1?' page.

We would appreciate if you could try out this RC and report back any
success or failure via the following wiki page (note the RC2 section is
where you should report now):

https://github.com/astropy/astropy/wiki/astropy-v4.1-release-candidate-(RC)-Testing#rc2

For example, you can try running the test suite as mentioned on the
wiki page. In addition, if you maintain any packages that use astropy,
please check that your package(s) works well with this RC and let us
know if there are any issues or whether everything works fine. There
is a section to list packages that work/don't work at the bottom of
the wiki page. Please also open an issue in the astropy core package
issue tracker for any issues you encounter (and open separate issues
for separate problems you run into).

If you use conda, be sure to either remove the existing conda astropy
package or make a new environment before installing the RC. Note that there
are no conda packages for the RC.

If all goes well we should have the long-delayed 4.1 out the door very soon!
