+``.npy`` files support unicode field names
+------------------------------------------
+A new format version of 3.0 has been introduced, which enables structured types
+with non-latin1 field names. This is used automatically when needed.

`numpy.packbits` and `numpy.unpackbits` accept an ``order`` keyword
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The ``order`` keyword defaults to ``big``, and will order the **bits**
accordingly. For ``'big'`` 3 will become ``[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1]``, and
``[1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]`` for ``little``
