Hi,
What scipy svn version was the release candidate obtained?

The reason is that I tracked down the warning messages for some of the 
stats tests that were addressed 15 months ago by changeset 5396 (time 
stamp of '01/08/09 06:38:03'):
http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/changeset/5396

Surely it should be based on a more recent svn version than that.

Bruce
