[Matrix-SIG] Next NumPy release...

[Paul F. Dubois]

On September 22 I believed that with one free day I could get the next NumPy
release out.

I still believe that. I'm sorry for those of you who have encountered bugs
we have already fixed. I've asked David Ascher to do it if he gets time,
thus doubling the infintesimal probability of success. Your patience will be
appreciated.
