[SciPy-user] [ANN] numscons 0.3.0 release

[David Cournapeau]

Hi,

    I've just released the 0.3.0 release of numscons, an alternative 
build system for numpy. The tarballs are available on launchpad.

https://launchpad.net/numpy.scons.support/0.3/0.3.0

To use it, you need to get the build_with_scons numpy branch: see 
http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/numpy/wiki/NumpyScons for more details.

This release is an important milestone:
    - all regressions because of the split from numpy are fixed.
    - it can build numpy on linux (gcc/intel), mac os X (gcc), windows 
(mingw) and solaris (Sun compilers).
    - mkl, sunperf, accelerate/vecLib frameworks and ATLAS should work 
on the platforms where it makes sense.
    - a lot of internal changes: some basic unittest, a total revamp of 
the code to check for performance libraries.
    - almost all changes necessary to scons code are now included 
upstream, or pending review.

If you test it and has problems building numpy, please submit a bug to 
launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/numpy.scons.support/0.3/

Thanks,

David
