[Numpy-discussion] ANN: Numpy 1.9.3 bugfix release

[Matthew Brett]

Hi,

We have just released numpy 1.9.3, a small bugfix release to fix a bug
on Python 3.5, as well as some build issues.

You likely only need to upgrade from 1.9.2 if you are on Python 3.5.

There are source and OSX wheels up on pypi. We currently have no
plans to add 1.9.3 to the sourceforge site, because we cannot yet
build a Python 3.5 installer with the standard mingw compiler.

Issues fixed
============

* `#5866 <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/5866>`__: fix error finding
Python headers when ``build_ext`` ``--include-dirs`` is set;
* `#6016 <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/6016>`__: fix ``np.loadtxt``
error on Python 3.5 when reading from gzip files;
* `#5555 <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/5555>`__: Replace deprecated
options for ifort;
* `#6096 <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/6096>`__: remove /GL for VS2015
in check_long_double_representation;
* `#6141 <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/6141>`__: enable Visual Studio
2015 C99 features;
* `#6171 <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/6171>`__: revert C99 complex for
MSVC14.

Cheers,

Matthew Brett - for the numpy developers.
