So, to summarize one more time: """ What used to be talked about as "1.1" will now become "1.2" --- and "1.0.5" will be "1.1" """ Did I get this right !? I'm curious to know _which_ were the changes that break the API. I thought all additions like "axis=0" were made without breaking the backwards compatibility. Otherwise it would (should !!!) have been added as "axis=None". Please keep in mind that there are a number of these "awkward" "wrong-default" arguments. I was hoping these would be unified [e.g. always same default, axis=None] very soon -- that is in 1.1. Also on my list is N.resize vs. arr.resize, were one fills with zeros, the other repeats. {{{ >>> N.resize([1,2,3], 6) [1 2 3 1 2 3] >>> a=N.array([1,2,3]);a.resize(6);a [1 2 3 0 0 0] }}} very confusing !! Please speak out !
