(sorry for the double posting if any)

It is my pleasure to announce a new version of the Pythran compiler.

Pythran is a Python compiler for scientific computing, more details on
the PyData Paris talk:

    http://serge-sans-paille.github.io/talks/pydata-2015-04-03.html#/

A huge achievement of this version is being able to efficiently compile
the following kernel:

Kudos to Valerio De Carolis, Leopold Haimberger, xantares, T.J. Ragan,
Joël Falcou and Neal Becker for their ultra-motivating feedbacks!

And thanks *a lot* to Pierrick Brunet for his impressive development
work and code reviewing effort!
