[Numpy-discussion] Numpy 1.11.1rc1 release

[Charles R Harris]

Hi All,

I am pleased to announce the release of Numpy 1.11.1rc1. The sources may be
found on sourceforge
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.11.1rc1/> and wheels
for OS X, Windows, and Linux will be available on pypi sometime in the next
few days. The pypi release is delayed due to the decision that the wheels
should go up before the sources in order that people not get a source
install when what they want are wheels. The Python versions supported are
2.6-2.7 and 3.2-3.5.

This release has mostly small fixes and build enhancements and should be
good out of the starting gate, but prudence requires a release candidate as
there are a few bits not tested in master. The following fixes have been
applied:

- #7506 BUG: Make sure numpy imports on python 2.6 when nose is
unavailable.
- #7530 BUG: Floating exception with invalid axis in np.lexsort.
- #7535 BUG: Extend glibc complex trig functions blacklist to glibc <
2.18.
- #7551 BUG: Allow graceful recovery for no compiler.
- #7558 BUG: Constant padding expected wrong type in constant_values.
- #7578 BUG: Fix OverflowError in Python 3.x. in swig interface.
- #7590 BLD: Fix configparser.InterpolationSyntaxError.
- #7597 BUG: Make np.ma.take work on scalars.
- #7608 BUG: linalg.norm(): Don't convert object arrays to float.
- #7638 BLD: Correct C compiler customization in system_info.py.
- #7654 BUG: ma.median of 1d array should return a scalar.
- #7656 BLD: Remove hardcoded Intel compiler flag -xSSE4.2.
- #7660 BUG: Temporary fix for str(mvoid) for object field types.
- #7665 BUG: Fix incorrect printing of 1D masked arrays.
- #7670 BUG: Correct initial index estimate in histogram.
- #7671 BUG: Boolean assignment no GIL release when transfer needs API.
- #7676 BUG: Fix handling of right edge of final histogram bin.
- #7680 BUG: Fix np.clip bug NaN handling for Visual Studio 2015.

For pre-releases that delay is maybe not necessary, because the average
user won't see those. Only if you add --pre to your pip install command
will you get them.
