SciPy 0.15.0 is the culmination of 6 months of hard work. It contains several new features, numerous bug-fixes, improved test coverage and better documentation. There have been a number of deprecations and API changes in this release, which are documented below. All users are encouraged to upgrade to this release, as there are a large number of bug-fixes and optimizations. Moreover, our development attention will now shift to bug-fix releases on the 0.16.x branch, and on adding new features on the master branch.

This release requires Python 2.6, 2.7 or 3.2-3.4 and NumPy 1.5.1 or greater.

## New features

### Linear Programming Interface

The new function `scipy.optimize.linprog` provides a generic linear programming similar to the way `scipy.optimize.minimize` provides a generic interface to nonlinear programming optimizers. Currently the only method supported is simplex which provides a two-phase, dense-matrix-based simplex algorithm. Callbacks functions are supported, allowing the user to monitor the progress of the algorithm.

### Differential evolution, a global optimizer

A new `scipy.optimize.differential_evolution` function has been added to the `optimize` module. Differential Evolution is an algorithm used for finding the global minimum of multivariate functions. It is stochastic in nature (does not use gradient methods), and can search large areas of candidate space, but often requires larger numbers of function evaluations than conventional gradient based techniques.

### `scipy.signal` improvements

The function `scipy.signal.max_len_seq` was added, which computes a Maximum Length Sequence (MLS) signal.

### `scipy.integrate` improvements

It is now possible to use `scipy.integrate` routines to integrate multivariate ctypes functions, thus avoiding callbacks to Python and providing better performance.

### `scipy.linalg` improvements

The function `scipy.linalg.orthogonal_procrustes` for solving the procrustes linear algebra problem was added.

BLAS level 2 functions `her`, `syr`, `her2` and `syr2` are now wrapped in `scipy.linalg`.

### `scipy.sparse` improvements

`scipy.sparse.linalg.svds` can now take a `LinearOperator` as its main input.

### `scipy.special` improvements

Values of ellipsoidal harmonic (i.e. Lame) functions and associated normalization constants can be now computed using `ellip_harm`, `ellip_harm_2`, and `ellip_normal`.

New convenience functions `entr`, `rel_entr` `kl_div`, `huber`, and `pseudo_huber` were added.

### `scipy.sparse.csgraph` improvements

Routines `reverse_cuthill_mckee` and `maximum_bipartite_matching` for computing reorderings of sparse graphs were added.

### `scipy.stats` improvements

Added a Dirichlet multivariate distribution, `scipy.stats.dirichlet`.

The new function `scipy.stats.median_test` computes Mood’s median test.

The new function `scipy.stats.combine_pvalues` implements Fisher’s and Stouffer’s methods for combining p-values.

`scipy.stats.describe` returns a namedtuple rather than a tuple, allowing users to access results by index or by name.

## Deprecated features

The scipy.weave module is deprecated. It was the only module never ported to Python 3.x, and is not recommended to be used for new code - use Cython instead. In order to support existing code, `scipy.weave` has been packaged separately: https://github.com/scipy/weave. It is a pure Python package, and can easily be installed with `pip install weave`.

`scipy.special.bessel_diff_formula` is deprecated. It is a private function, and therefore will be removed from the public API in a following release.

`scipy.stats.nanmean`, `nanmedian` and `nanstd` functions are deprecated in favor of their numpy equivalents.

## Backwards incompatible changes

### scipy.ndimage

The functions scipy.ndimage.minimum_positions, scipy.ndimage.maximum_positions` and `scipy.ndimage.extrema` return positions as ints instead of floats.

### scipy.integrate

The format of banded Jacobians in `scipy.integrate.ode` solvers is changed. Note that the previous documentation of this feature was erroneous.
