There were two issues with numpy 1.4.0, one caused by datetime, and one caused by other changes to growing structures. The second one is ok for most cases, but cython < 0.12.1 was too strict in checking some structure size, meaning any extension built from cython < 0.12.1 will refuse to import. There is nothing we can do for this one. So the "plan" I had in mind was: - release fixed numpy 1.4.1 - release a new scipy 0.7.2 built against numpy 1.3.0, which would be compatible with both existing 1.3.0 and the new 1.4.1 Is this clearer ?
