Please refer to your(!) message "Report from SciPy" dated 2008-08-23: """ Robert K, Chuck H, Stefan VdW, Jarrod M, David C, and I had a nice discussion about the future directions of NumPy. We resolved some things and would like community feedback on them if there are opinions. * we will be moving to time-based releases (at least 2 times a year -- November / May) with major changes not accepted about 4 weeks before the release. * The releases will be numbered major.minor.bugfix * There will be no ABI changes in minor releases * There will be no API changes in bugfix releases """ -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
