+NumPy 1.10.0 Release Notes
+**************************
+
+This release supports Python 2.6 - 2.7 and 3.2 - 3.4.
+
+
+Highlights
+==========
+
+
+Dropped Support
+===============
+* The polytemplate.py file has been removed.
+* The _dotblas module is no longer available.
+* The testcalcs.py file has been removed.
+
+
+Future Changes
+==============
+* The SafeEval class will be removed.
+* The alterdot and restoredot functions will be removed.
+
+
+Compatibility notes
+===================
+NPY_RELAXED_STRIDE_CHECKING is now true by default.
+
+
+New Features
+============
+
+`np.cbrt` to compute cube root for real floats
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+`np.cbrt` wraps the C99 cube root function `cbrt`.
+Compared to `np.power(x, 1./3.)` it is well defined for negative real floats
+and a bit faster.
+
+
+Improvements
+============
+
+`np.digitize` using binary search
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+`np.digitize` is now implemented in terms of `np.searchsorted`. This means
+that a binary search is used to bin the values, which scales much better
+for larger number of bins than the previous linear search. It also removes
+the requirement for the input array to be 1-dimensional.
+
+`np.poly` now casts integer inputs to float
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+`np.poly` will now cast 1-dimensional input arrays of integer type to double
+precision floating point, to prevent integer overflow when computing the monic
+polynomial. It is still possible to obtain higher precision results by
+passing in an array of object type, filled e.g. with Python ints.
+
+`np.interp` can now be used with periodic functions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+`np.interp` now has a new parameter `period` that supplies the period of the
+input data `xp`. In such case, the input data is properly normalized to the
+given period and one end point is added to each extremity of `xp` in order to
+close the previous and the next period cycles, resulting in the correct
+interpolation behavior.
+
+
+Changes
+=======
+
+dotblas functionality moved to multiarray
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The cblas versions of dot, inner, and vdot have been integrated into
+the multiarray module. In particular, vdot is now a multiarray function,
+which it was not before.
+
+stricter check of gufunc signature compliance
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Inputs to generalized universal functions are now more strictly checked
+against the function's signature: all core dimensions are now required to
+be present in input arrays; core dimensions with the same label must have
+the exact same size; and output core dimension's must be specified, either
+by a same label input core dimension or by a passed-in output array.
+
+
+Deprecations
+============
+
+SafeEval
+~~~~~~~~
+The SafeEval class in numpy/lib/utils.py is deprecated and will be removed
+in the next release.
+
+alterdot, restoredot Deprecated
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The alterdot and restoredot functions no longer do anything, and are
+deprecated.
