Winpython

WinPython 2016-01 release (February 9th, 2015)

Features:
- Highlight:
- Jupyter Notebook 4.1 / Ipython 4.1.1 ('Search & replace' and 'run_all' options), bokeh 0.11.0
- numpy 1.10.4 and numba 0.23.1 now allows usage of '' multiplicator for WinPython 3.5
- two icons change:
- "Spyder (reset)" replaces "Spyder (light)",
- "IDLEX" superseds "IDLE"
- WinPython 3.5 now also in 32 bit version
- New packages:
- data visualization: ptpython, IDLEX
- data acquisition: pyreadline
- Upgrades:
- data visualization: matplotlib 1.5.1, Holoviews 1.4.1+
- data crunching: scipy 0.17.0, Pulp for WinPython 3.5
- data acquisition: pep 8.0.2 / setuptools 19.6.2
- Cleanups:
- reorganization of documentation Notebooks: be more "run all" and "beginner" friendly
- improved pip compatibility
- Removals:
- Scite
- no more mid-size WinPython "slim" ("uninstall" from WinPython full size is the suggested workaround)
- Specific Notes:
- users wanting 'R' in their WinPython can look at the included R_installation notebook
- still no mingwpy for python 3.5, but ongoing progress: https://mingwpy.github.io
- still older numba 0.20.0 in WinPython 3.4, to spare users the "vs 2015 runtime"

Many thanks to Steve Dower, Christoph Gohlke, Carl Kleffner, Pierre Raybaut, Jupyter/SciPy/Pypa/Mingwpy/Continuum/Spyder/Holoviews teams for their continual efforts to improve Python experience on Windows.

We were forced to change by hand the changelog file terminations, as it should be the re-release code now.

1.2.20150801Qt5
main features:
- third build with PyQt5, using PyQt5.5.0,
- no more Qt4 packages,
- PyQtGraph and Spyder are 'fresh from Github' versions (to get more Qt5 fixes)
- one know bug: if you install or uninstall only one package at a time with WinPython Control Panel:
- the package is installed (or uninstalled),
- then a Window open to show a 'installing'/'uninstalling the package' message
==> You have to click the "cancel" button of this useless window to make it go away.

Winpython with Qt5.5 is a new branch, added to the existing ones.
Winpython of next release will include the usual branches under Qt4.11 .
