Subject:  ANN: NumPy 1.2.0
Date:  Thu, 25 Sep 2008 23:09:01 -0700
Message-ID:  <c7009a550809252309i606f92d2tcbea3acf0c70901a@mail.gmail.com>

I'm pleased to announce the release of NumPy 1.2.0.

NumPy is the fundamental package needed for scientific computing with
Python.  It contains:

 * a powerful N-dimensional array object
 * sophisticated (broadcasting) functions
 * basic linear algebra functions
 * basic Fourier transforms
 * sophisticated random number capabilities
 * tools for integrating Fortran code.

Besides it's obvious scientific uses, NumPy can also be used as an
efficient multi-dimensional container of generic data. Arbitrary
data-types can be defined. This allows NumPy to seamlessly and
speedily integrate with a wide-variety of databases.

This minor release comes almost four months after the 1.1.0
release. The major features of this release are a new
testing framework and huge amount of documentation work. It
also includes a some minor API breakage scheduled in the
1.1 release.

Please note that NumPy 1.2.0 requires Python 2.4 or greater.

Enjoy,
