CHANGES since 5.1 RC 2.5
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
**NumPy
**
** 	http://numpy.scipy.org//
** NumPy derives from the old Numeric code base and can be used as a
** replacement for Numeric.  It also adds the features introduced by
** Numarray and can also be used to replace Numarray.
**
** 	This package contains:
**         - a powerful N-dimensional array object
**         - sophisticated (broadcasting) functions
**         - basic linear algebra functions
**         - basic Fourier transforms
**         - sophisticated random number capabilities
**         - tools for integrating Fortran code.
**
** 	numpy-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm
** 	numpy-1.0.4-1.x86_64.rpm


** rpm cleanup

We have gone through The Upstream Vendors rpm list and tried our best to 
have the rpm names be the same as theirs.  This includes having el5_1 
being in the name.
We have also gone through the rpm's checking to make sure that man pages 
match between i386 and x86_64.  This stems from the problem of a compile 
time date stamp being put into man pages, and if the i386 and x86_64 
rpm's aren't compiled on the same date, they don't match.
