Re: [Numpy-discussion] Updated 1.15.0 release notes

Indeed, we do something similar in astropy, with a pre-release failure
being considered breakage (rather than ignorable as for -dev):

Hi Nathan,

One very helpful think you could do, is add a Travis-CI matrix entry
where you are testing against the latest numpy nightly builds.

I got a bit lost in your tox setup, but the basic idea is that, for
one test entry, you add the following flags to pip:

-f 
https://7933911d6844c6c53a7d-47bd50c35cd79bd838daf386af554a83.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com
--pre

In that case, you'll pull in the latest nightly build of Numpy.  See
the Scipy .travis.yml setup for an example.

Cheers,

Matthew

There was a 1.14.0rc1
. I was too quick
for the full release, just waited three weeks, so maybe four this time. Too
few people actually test the candidates and give feedback, so I tend to
regard the *.*.0 releases as the true rc :)

Request for a -rc seconded (although this time we should be fine for
astropy, as things are working well with -dev).

Hi Chuck,

Are you planning on doing an rc release this time? I think the NumPy 1.14
release was unusually bumpy and part of that was the lack of an rc. One
example: importing h5py caused a warning under numpy 1.14 and an h5py
release didn’t come out with a workaround or fix for a couple months. There
was also an issue with array printing that caused problems in yt (although
both yt and NumPy quickly did bugfix releases that fixed that).

I guess 1.14 was particularly noisy, but still I’d really appreciate having
a prerelease version to test against and some time to report issues with
the prerelease so numpy and other projects can implement workarounds as
needed without doing a release that might potentially break real users who
happen to install right after numpy 1.x.0 comes out.

Best,
Nathan Goldbaum

[Numpy-discussion] Updated 1.15.0 release notes

[Charles R Harris]

Hi All,

There is a PR for the updated NumPy 1.15.0 release notes
 . I would appreciate it if all
those involved in the thatn release would have a look and fix incorrect or
missing notes.

Cheers,

Chuck
