[Numpy-discussion] NumPy 1.7 release plans

[Travis Oliphant]

Great.   Yes, the Travis-CI stuff looks great.   There are a lot of good CI things happening on a lot of fronts. 

It is encouraging to see.  

It would be good to consolidate them --- or at least have a place to go to look at output from many of them.

Ondrej, the author of SymPy, has agreed to help on the both the release and the Continuous Integration side.   Ideally we would also start producing a code coverage report and a vbench report for NumPy as well.   This is much more likely to happen if there are other people willing to pictch in

We will work to get that beta release actively tested by as many projects as possible, leading to a release candidate by July 31.     If all goes well I could imagine a release by August 14.   If we need to make another release candidate, then we can do that August 14th and push the release to August 28th.
