b5 (2017-10-1x: everything at rc point, except altair-1.2.1 and holoviews master as ever)

• remove spyder-terminal and spyder-notebook plugins:
  . they slow down the start-up per 3x on a slow pc (6' cold boot, 1'30" a hot boot),
  . once removed, cold boot is 2', hot boot is 30",
  . Windows Anti-virus are apparently the direct cause of the slowdown, so there is no other workaround, except more modern (4 cores, ssd) hardware.

• put rc binaries in the betas directory as usual (they were mistakenly put in final directory)

future:

• pymc3 is dying as is theano, influence it's replacement to make it work on gpu-less pc too,
• gluon may become an option, in our particular corner case.
• jupyterlab rebuilt on reactjs techno is for december, maybe shall we consider hydrogen

rc (2017-10-31 / 2017-11-03)

main features (since WinPython 2017-03 build5):

• updates:
  . scipy-1.0, scikit_learn-0.19.1, statstmodels-20171031
  . pandas-0.21.0, fastparquet-0.1.3,
  . bokeh-0.12.10, datashader-0.6.2
  . holoviews-1.8.5dev0-20171031, plotnine-0.2.1-patched-pandas-0.21, altair-1.2.1
  . jupyterlab-0.28.11, notebook-5.2.1rc1, spyder-3.2.4

Areas of interest for testers:

• the stuff you use, as it's the rc,
• Spyder should be 3x less slow to Start (yet not as speedy as 1 year ago),
• what is apparently shipping ahead of other distro: pandas-0.21, bokeh-0.12.10, holoviews nigthly, stastmodels nightly,

focus for next build:

• rc re-tagged as final if nothing major shows up
