ANN: PyWavelets 1.0.0

[Gregory Lee]

Hello all,

We are pleased to announce the release of PyWavelets 1.0. We view this
version number as a milestone in the project's now more than a decade long
history.  It reflects that PyWavelets has stabilized over the past few
years, and is now a mature package which a lot of other important packages
depend on. A listing of those package won't be complete, but some we are
aware of are:

- `scikit-image <https://scikit-image.org>`_ - image processing in Python
- `imagehash <https://github.com/JohannesBuchner/imagehash>`_ - perceptual
image hashing
- `pyradiomics <https://github.com/Radiomics/pyradiomics>`_ - extraction of
Radiomics features from 2D and 3D images and binary masks
- `tomopy <https://github.com/tomopy/tomopy>`_ - Tomographic Reconstruction
in Python
- `SpikeSort <https://github.com/btel/SpikeSort>`_ - Spike sorting library
implemented in Python/NumPy/PyTables
- `ODL <https://github.com/odlgroup/odl>`_ - operator discretization library

This release requires Python 2.7 or >=3.5 and NumPy 1.9.1 or greater. The
1.0 release will be the last release supporting Python 2.7.  It will be a
Long Term Support (LTS) release, meaning that we will backport critical bug
fixes to 1.0.x for as long as Python itself does so (i.e. until 1 Jan 2020).

A summary of new features and lists of specific issues and pull requests
closed is available in the full release notes at:
