[SciPy-Dev] NumPy v1.13.0rc1 released.

[Charles R Harris]

Hi All,

I'm please to announce the NumPy 1.13.0rc1 release. This release supports
Python 2.7 and 3.4-3.6 and contains many new features. It is one of the
most ambitious releases in the last several years. Some of the highlights
and new functions are

*Highlights*

   - Operations like ``a + b + c`` will reuse temporaries on some
   platforms, resulting in less memory use and faster execution.
   - Inplace operations check if inputs overlap outputs and create
   temporaries to avoid problems.
   - New __array_ufunc__ attribute provides improved ability for classes to
   override default ufunc behavior.
   -  New np.block function for creating blocked arrays.


*New functions*

   - New ``np.positive`` ufunc.
   - New ``np.divmod`` ufunc provides more efficient divmod.
   - New ``np.isnat`` ufunc tests for NaT special values.
   - New ``np.heaviside`` ufunc computes the Heaviside function.
   - New ``np.isin`` function, improves on ``in1d``.
   - New ``np.block`` function for creating blocked arrays.
   - New ``PyArray_MapIterArrayCopyIfOverlap`` added to NumPy C-API.

Wheels for the pre-release are available on PyPI. Source tarballs,
zipfiles, release notes, and the Changelog are available on github
<https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v1.13.0rc1>.
