+==========================
+NumPy 1.10.2 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+This release deals with a number of bugs that turned up in 1.10.1 and
+adds various build and release improvements.
+
+Numpy 1.10.1 supports Python 2.6 - 2.7 and 3.2 - 3.5.
+
+
+Compatibility notes
+===================
+
+Relaxed stride checking is no longer the default
+------------------------------------------------
+There were back compatibility problems involving views changing the dtype of
+multidimensional Fortran arrays that need to be dealt with over a longer
+timeframe.
+
+Fix swig bug in ``numpy.i``
+---------------------------
+Relaxed stride checking revealed a bug in ``array_is_fortran(a)``, that was
+using PyArray_ISFORTRAN to check for Fortran contiguity instead of
+PyArray_IS_F_CONTIGUOUS. You may want to regenerate swigged files using the
+updated numpy.i
+
+Deprecate views changing dimensions in fortran order
+----------------------------------------------------
+This deprecates assignment of a new descriptor to the dtype attribute of
+a non-C-contiguous array if it result in changing the shape. This
+effectively bars viewing a multidimensional Fortran array using a dtype
+that changes the element size along the first axis.
+
+The reason for the deprecation is that, when relaxed strides checking is
+enabled, arrays that are both C and Fortran contiguous are always treated
+as C contiguous which breaks some code that depended the two being mutually
+exclusive for non-scalar arrays of ndim > 1. This deprecation prepares the
+way to always enable relaxed stride checking.
+
+

+
+
+Notes
+=====
+A bug in the Numpy 1.10.1 release resulted in exceptions being raised for
+``RuntimeWarning`` and ``DeprecationWarning`` in projects depending on Numpy.
+That has been fixed.
