Hi All,

On behalf of the NumPy team I'm pleased to announce the release of NumPy
1.15.0rc2.
This release has an unusual number of cleanups, many deprecations of old
functions,
and improvements to many existing functions. A total of 435 pull reguests
were merged
for this release, please look at the release notes
<https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v1.15.0rc2>for details. Some
highlights are:

   - NumPy has switched to pytest for testing.
   - A new  `numpy.printoptions` context manager.
   - Many improvements to the histogram functions.
   - Support for unicode field names in python 2.7.
   - Improved support for PyPy.
   - Fixes and improvements to `numpy.einsum`.

The Python versions supported by this release are 2.7, 3.4-3.7.  The wheels
are linked with
OpenBLAS v0.3.0, which should fix some of the linalg problems reported for
NumPy 1.14.

Wheels for this release can be downloaded from PyPI
<https://pypi.org/project/numpy/1.15.0rc2/>, source archives are available
from Github <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v1.15.0rc2>.
