+Gfortran can now be used as a fortran compiler for numpy, even when the C
+compiler is Visual Studio.

+=====================
+
+Internal changes
+================
+
+Refactoring numpy.core math configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This should make the porting to new platforms easier, and more robust. In
+particular, the configuration stage does not need to execute any code on the
+target platform, which is a first step toward cross-compilation.

+
+Improvements to build warnings
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Numpy can now build with -W -Wall without warnings.

+
+Separate core math library
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The core math functions (sin, cos, etc... for basic C types) have been put into
+a separate library. The library includes platform-specific fixes for various
+maths functions, such as using those versions should be more robust than using
+your platform functions directly. The API for existing functions is exactly the
+same as the C99 math functions API, except they are prefixed with npy_.
