Sure, that's fine, I think there will be some time before the next
beta. I tested the release in my own branch and jenkins was blue, but
the release build seems to disagree. The py32 C++ build shows some
refcount error:

numpy_memoryview.cpp:16922: warning: ‘void
__pyx_pw_5numpy_7ndarray_3__releasebuffer__(PyObject*, Py_buffer*)’
defined but not used
python: Modules/gcmodule.c:327: visit_decref: Assertion
`gc->gc.gc_refs != 0' failed.

and some of the other python 3 tests are also failing.
