I tried to upgrade numpy to 1.11.1 in WinPython 64-bit 3.5.1.3 installed under C:\Program Files, with the scripts modified in accord with #316 and #323. This is now the only numpy version provided by Gohlke. Using WinPython Control Panel, I removed scipy, numexpr, numba, MKL-service and then numpy packages. Next, I installed numpy 1.11.1 and then the latest versions of the above packages from Gohlke's site (scipy 0.17.1 being the latest released version). The problem I noticed is that WinPython Control Panel now only shows one installed package.

Any reason why numpy 1.11.1 would be incompatible?

Do I understand correctly that the above packages are compiled by Gohlke with the particular numpy+MKL version? In other words, when I update numpy+MKL, I also need to update every package that depends on numpy+MKL?

WinPython release 2016-03 beta builds so far only have Qt5. Do I understand correctly that problems with Qt5 and mingwpy are what prevent the final release of WinPython 2016-03? If so, how about if 2016-03 is based on Qt4, and delay the Qt5 stuff until WinPython 2016-04? The updates of all the scientific packages above are important for me, not Qt5. An update based on Python 3.4 and Qt4 would also be helpful where mingwpy is needed.
