Please build, test, and report! We'd love to hear about your
experiences with this release.

== Notes ==

To various already-merged tickets, some small additional changes were
done, either to add "# long time" in doctests, or to remove improper
usage of "assert". This affects tickets #5457, #9265, #11305.

Ticket #11770 has been unmerged to make some changes, but should be
re-merged soon.

== Tickets ==

* We closed 83 tickets in this release. For details, see

Built from scratch on Mac OS X, 10.6.8 (Dual 6-core Xeons), with no problems. All tests passed!

Built from scratch on Mac OS X, 10.8.2 (Quad-core Core i7), and Xcode 4.5. Build completed w/o problems, but testing ('ptestlong') had two failures (repeated full testing, same results).

I followed JohnP's instructions, downloading scipy-0.11.0.spkg from Trac #13541. The .spkg at #13309 did not build for me.

There's a patch at #13541 that fixes those doctest issues.

[Justin C. Walker]

That'll teach me to RTFT. Thanks for the tip.

Alles ist gut jetzt. :-}
