RELEASE NOTES
SciPy 0.7.0 is the culmination of 16 months of hard work. It contains many new features, numerous bug-fixes,
improved test coverage and better documentation. There have been a number of deprecations and API changes in
this release, which are documented below. All users are encouraged to upgrade to this release, as there are a large
number of bug-fixes and optimizations. Moreover, our development attention will now shift to bug-fix releases on
the 0.7.x branch, and on adding new features on the development trunk. This release requires Python 2.4 or 2.5 and
NumPy 1.2 or greater.
Please note that SciPy is still considered to have “Beta” status, as we work toward a SciPy 1.0.0 release. The 1.0.0
release will mark a major milestone in the development of SciPy, after which changing the package structure or API
will be much more difficult. Whilst these pre-1.0 releases are considered to have “Beta” status, we are committed to
making them as bug-free as possible. For example, in addition to fixing numerous bugs in this release, we have also
doubled the number of unit tests since the last release.
