Hi Nathan,

One very helpful think you could do, is add a Travis-CI matrix entry where you are testing against the latest numpy nightly builds.

I got a bit lost in your tox setup, but the basic idea is that, for one test entry, you add the following flags to pip:

-f https://7933911d6844c6c53a7d-47bd50c35cd79bd838daf386af554a83.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com --pre

In that case, you'll pull in the latest nightly build of Numpy. See the Scipy .travis.yml setup for an example.

Cheers,

Matthew

OK I guess I missed that announcement.

I wouldn’t mind more than one email with a reminder to test. On Wed, Jun 13, 2018 at 7:42 PM Charles R Harris <charlesr.harris at gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Chuck, Are you planning on doing an rc release this time? I think the NumPy 1.14 release was unusually bumpy and part of that was the lack of an rc. One example: importing h5py caused a warning under numpy 1.14 and an h5py release didn’t come out with a workaround or fix for a couple months. There was also an issue with array printing that caused problems in yt (although both yt and NumPy quickly did bugfix releases that fixed that). I guess 1.14 was particularly noisy, but still I’d really appreciate having a prerelease version to test against and some time to report issues with the prerelease so numpy and other projects can implement workarounds as needed without doing a release that might potentially break real users who happen to install right after numpy 1.x.0 comes out. There was a 1.14.0rc1. I was too quick for the full release, just waited three weeks, so maybe four this time. Too few people actually test the candidates and give feedback, so I tend to regard the ..0 releases as the true rc :) Chuck
