[Numpy-discussion] NumPy beta release plan

[Stephan Tolksdorf]

Hi Travis,

thanks for putting all the effort into NumPy.

The beginning of the beta phase might also be the best time to address 
the most severe NumPy.distutils issues, so that all changes can be 
extensively tested during the beta:
  - warning messages are only shown if compilation fails (NumPy should 
build warning free)
  - there are some problems on Windows (ticket #114)
  - 64bit/Python 2.5 issues?

Ciao,
   Stephan
