Subject: LLNLDistribution 6 and NumPy-16.exe available
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 98 21:32:14 GMT

At ftp://ftp-icf.llnl.gov/pub/python, you can download LLNLDistribution.tgz
and/or NumPy.exe.

The former is a full source distribution for the LLNL-managed packages
(NumPy, CXX, Gist, Gist3D, OOG, Arrayfns, PyHistory, PyPDB, RNG) while the
latter is a Windows 95/98/NT installer for either binary or binary+source
for NumPy.

The release notes are attached. (Release_Notes.htm).

My thanks to David Ascher for getting this release finalized.

I have removed some of the older versions of the sources and documentation
from the FTP site. The correct site for the documentation that is not
included in the distribution is http://xfiles.llnl.gov.

Release 6 (October 7, 1998)

     * Numerical -- described in [9]Numerical/README.htm
     * Graphics -- extensive bug fixes in Gist package.
     * PyPDB -- removed dependency missing file EB.py
     * PyHistory -- See xfiles.llnl.gov documentation. columnar_history
       folded into history module.
     * CXX -- Beta release, still in development.
       
Release 5 (August 20, 1998)

     * Changes to Numerical, Gist (see their README files)
     * Removed multiarray comparisons, and changed "bitwise_" operations
       to "boolean_" operations, per latest changes in NumPy (Zane
       Motteler).
     * Added automatic installation script (first version) (David Ascher)
     * Changed all references to LEGAL.LLNL in .py and .c files to
       Legal.htm (Zane Motteler).
     * Changed Konrad Hinsen's URL in various documents and in
       RNGtest2.py to the starship one (Zane Motteler).
     * PyHistory upgraded to version 2. Documentation now available in
       this distribution as well as on web site. Function event changed
       to event_tag for consistency. Columnar text tags now in history.py
       rather than a separate module.
       
Release 4 (June 19, 1998)

     * Added Complex class to CXX.
     * Release 1.3 of Numerical fixes bugs in LAPack, Matrix.py. See
       README in Numerical.
       
Release 3 (June 12, 1998)

     * Fixes to Gist files required by the changes to NumPy.
     * Bug fix to Numerical/Lib/UserArray.py.
     * Renamed CXX/cxxmodule.cxx to cxxsupport.cxx since it isn't a
       Python module.
       
Release 2 (June 5, 1998)

  General
  
     * Several "Setup" files had a space after the *shared* which mixed
       up FreeBSD. (Thomas Gellekum).
       
  NumPy
  
     * See [10]Numerical/README.htm.
       
  Gist
  
     * Bug fixes in Gist3D/Demo/gistdemohigh.py, Gist3D/Lib/quadmesh.py
       (Thomas Gellekum).
       
Release 1 (May, 1998)

   This release contains all the Python extension packages currently
   maintained by LLNL. It supercedes the previous system of distributing
   our work as part of a complete Python source tree.
