#. deprecated decorator: this decorator may be used to avoid cluttering
testing output while testing DeprecationWarning is effectively raised by
the decorated test.
+ #. assert_array_almost_equal_nulps: new method to compare two arrays of
+ floating point values. With this function, two values are considered
+ close if there are not many representable floating point values in
+ between, thus being more robust than assert_array_almost_equal when the
+ values fluctuate a lot.
+ #. assert_array_max_ulp: raise an assertion if there are more than N
+ representable numbers between two floating point values.
