Hi all, It's been a while since we have not made a release. I plan to cut the 0.17.X branch to prepare a first beta next week. Then 2 weeks after that we can release either a new beta or the final 0.17.0 based on feedback and if there is no identified blocker or major regression from 0.16.1.
I would like the following to get in for the release to make it easier for people who experiment the multiprocessing crash under OSX (they would just have to use Python 3.4 to get rid of the crash): https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/5199 Andreas also raised that as 0.17 will be the first release to include Latent Dirichlet Allocation, we should rename the sklearn.lda package and models to emphasize they are about Linear Discriminant Analysis to avoid confusion. This was attempted in https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/4421 but work is needed to rebase the renaming on the current state of master. I can do that if nobody does it in the mean time. There are other maintenance PRs that I would like to see part of this release such as: https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/5152 Small bug fixes tagged with https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/milestones/0.17 can be back-ported into the future 0.17.X branch to make it into the final 0.17.0 release. Le me know if you have any comment on this release process.
