[Numpy-discussion] Status of the 1.7 release

[Andrew Collette]

I am not very familiar with the NumPy development and release
strategy, but is there any chance this fix could be included in 1.7.0?

This is the source of a recently reported bug in h5py and there is
nothing I can do to work around it without breaking other parts of the
project.  If I can be of any help just let me know how.
