Numba 0.7.1 is a bugfix release which brings bug fixes such as the
array slicing bug, but it also brings us closer to Python 3
compatibility thanks to Hernan Grecco. The release also brings the
'numba.random' package, thanks to Travis Oliphant. It allows you to
use fast random number generators from randomkit provided in NumPy,
directly from numba code. An example can be found here:
