[AstroPy] ANN: Astropy v0.4 released

[Angelo Varlotta]

Hello,
>From the User Documentation page I've noticed that the pdf version of
the docs just produces this 1-page output:

https://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/astropy/stable/astropy.pdf

The other docs (html and epub) seem to be fine.

Cheers,
Angelo
