NumPy 1.7 is due out in the next few weeks. This will obviously support 2.4. It can be used for as long as people want. Right now, there is a plan for NumPy 1.8 to be released in the summer which will have much attention paid to it in order to improve the documentation, add bug-fixes, as

2012-02-04 Thread Charles R Harris
Hi All, In the discussion on deprecating old macros in 1.7 as part of pull request 189 https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/189 the issue of how to move numpy forward and start clearing the decks of accumulated cruft arose. The proposal here is to make the 1.7 a long term support release that we
