[AstroPy] ANN: Astropy v0.4 released

[Emmanuel Caux]

Hi Erik,

Many thanks for that, just a question, I install software on my Mac with Fink and I have currently installed :

[Emmanuels-MacBook-Pro:~] caux% fink list astropy
Information about 10660 packages read in 1 seconds.
 i   astropy-py27     0.3-2        Python library for Astronomy
     astropy-py32     0.3-2        Python library for Astronomy
     astropy-py33     0.3-2        Python library for Astronomy

But if I run fink update-all or fink update astropy-py27, I have this answer :

[Emmanuels-MacBook-Pro:~] caux% fink update astropy-py27
Information about 10660 packages read in 1 seconds.
No packages to install.

Does that mean I hane to remove my install of atsropy 0.3 and install the new astropy 0.4 ?

Many thanks,

Cheers,

!! PLEASE NOTE MY NEW EMAIL ADDRESS !!
