[Numpy-discussion] NumPy 1.12.0b1 released

[Peter Cock]

Thanks Nathan,

That makes sense (compile using the oldest version of NumPy
we wish to support).

The information on https://github.com/MacPython/numpy-wheels
will probably be very useful too (I've been meaning to try out
appveyor at some point for Windows builds/testing).

Regards,

Peter
