WinPython 2015-01 release ( between 2015-01-15 and 2015-01-22)

Features: (highlight: wheel support improvement, numba 16.0, scipy 0.15.0, R flavor support)

• new packages: runipy
• numba 16.0 (and so llvmlite instead of llvmpy)
• shrink ggplot (remove test images and movies data)
• nump1.9.1 in win32 thanks to scipy 0.14.1 fix
• cython 0.21.2
• support binary wheels in the build process (Christoph Gohlke switched around december 29th)
• Rfull Flavor: winpython + R + dplyr/tidyr/ggplot2/R.utils/zoo/forecast
• R path and R_Home Automatic inclusion if R added separately
• starting build4,a fix for .whl package installation (thanks to Christoph Gohlke)
• starting build5, distribution made with 25% of wheel packages (was 10% in december 2014)
• winpython package is a wheel .whl (no more a .exe)
• starting build6, make ensurepip (or get-pip for python3.3) works
• ensure pip+setuptools can upgrade via windows trick (windows in-place pip upgrades pypa/pip#1299)
• switch to scipy0.15.0 only if issues are fixed with new statsmodels0.6.2 (or maybe I wait a release)
• include Vpython (v5.74) in 3.4 version, like it was in 3.3

Infrastructure:

• upload also on the historical site
• tweack download directory (a subdirectory per version)

Rough Roadmap after:

• february 2015: spyder 2.4 with jedi plugin (droping rope(s) ?) , 33% of wheel packages
• march 2015: ipython3.0 (or a 2.4), 50% of wheel packages

release (2015-01-15)

History of changes for WinPython 3.4.2.4

The following changes were made to WinPython distribution since version 3.4.2.3.

Python packages

New packages:
