Re: [Cython] [cython-users] Cython 0.17 final released

[Robert Bradshaw]

I'm assuming cython-devel is a proper subset of cython-users, but just
wanted to say hooray and thanks for all the work that wen into this
release (both new development and pushing the actual release to
completion).

Is there a plan to announce more broadly? (E.g. python-announce, if
you haven't already (moderation adds a bit of latency).)

I know this was brought up a couple of months ago, but we seem to be
falling into a pattern of thinking about doing a bugfix release, then
saying a full release is around the corner anyways, and then not
actually getting it out for quite a while. I propose we start an
actual bugfix branch from which we can cut minor releases at (nearly)
any time, and certainly with much less hassle. Thoughts?

I had already sent it to the python-announce list and also made an
announcement on c.l.py now. :)

+1, I'll push the master into the release branch and update the master
version to 0.18a0.

Regarding 0.18, I won't be able to review any of Mark's changes in his
array expressions branch, but I take it that Dag did, so I assume that they
should go in right next (after a necessary rebase and maybe some
adaptations for the external minivect) and then get consolidated there (if
necessary). Looks like they'll make the first big feature for the next
release (which in turn makes Mark the perfect "volunteer" for the next
release manager ;) ).
