Hi,
I'm pleased to announce the availability of NumPy 1.6.2. This is a
maintenance release. Due to the delay of the NumPy 1.7.0, this release
contains far more fixes than a regular NumPy bugfix release. It also
includes a number of documentation and build improvements.
Sources and binary installers can be found at
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.6.2rc1/>
http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.6.2/, release notes are
copied below.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release.
Enjoy,
The NumPy developers
