Hello,

So I went to upgrade my Numpy from 1.0.4 to 1.2.0, and I ran into a problem
with fipy.  In particular "from numpy.core import ma as MA" was causing
problems.  I rolled numpy back and now I'm fine again, but it leads me to a
couple of questions...

1.  What is the most recent version of FiPy, and does it represent a speed
improvement over version 1.2.1?  What is the svn checkout command I need to
run to get it?  (I tried getting "current," a few of months ago when I
thought there was a 2.0.1a version around, and I got 1.2.1 again, so I'm
screwing something up.)
2.  What is the latest version of  Numpy that the newest version of FiPy
works with?  What about the 1.2.1 version?

Also, on a completely separate note, has anyone looked at the
PyAMG<http://code.google.com/p/pyamg/>solvers for use with FiPy?  I
confess I don't really understand the
differences between different solvers, as I'm not a high-powered numerics
guy, but they (whoever "they" are) say that multi-grid solvers are among the
fastest for non-linear problems.  Is there an "easy" way to plug these into
fipy so I can check them out and give some feedback.  By "easy" I mean where
there's a file or two in FiPy that I could create/edit to invoke them in
lieu of the standard solvers, translating things in and out, as necessary to
make them work.

Best Regards,
Angus Hendrick
