@jorisvandenbossche @TomAugspurger @sinhrks @shoyer @cpcloud

going to do the RC this friday.

[shoyer]

Sounds good, I'll cleanup my plot methods accessor PR ASAP.

[jorisvandenbossche]

fine!

@jreback question: would it be possible to get the conda builds working in the pandas channel http://anaconda.org/pandas/pandas? Would be nice if we could provide conda packages of the RC through the channel, this could make it easier to test it out.

[jreback]

yes I will have conda builds up (for all platforms)

[jreback]

so as a test I built all of the packages. (all master, windows a few commits behind).

[jreback-~/pandas] conda search "pandas >0.16.2*" -c pandas --spec --plat linux-64 --override-channels
Fetching package metadata: ..
pandas                       v0.16.2              nppy34_623  pandas          
                             v0.16.2              nppy27_623  pandas          
[jreback-~/pandas] conda search "pandas >0.16.2*" -c pandas --spec --plat win-64 --override-channels
Fetching package metadata: ..
pandas                       v0.16.2              nppy34_590  pandas          
                             v0.16.2              nppy27_590  pandas          
[jreback-~/pandas] conda search "pandas >0.16.2*" -c pandas --spec --plat osx-64 --override-channels
Fetching package metadata: ..
pandas                       v0.16.2              nppy34_623  pandas          
                             v0.16.2              nppy27_623  pandas          

can people try the win/linux packages and install just to make sure they are not horribly broken.

e.g. conda install pandas -c pandas

thxs.

[jorisvandenbossche]

I installed and quickly tests it on py2.7 / windows, and that seems to work fine!

[jreback]

gr8. I am not 100% I am building a kosher recipe on 3.4/windows.....but when I do the rc will know.

[TomAugspurger]

Used the 3.4 Windows build (lightly) today. I’ll swap it in the environment I’m using tomorrow and let you know how things look.

A minor note: are the RC docs expected to render images properly? I don't see images at http://pandas-docs.github.io/pandas-docs-travis/whatsnew.html#changes-to-excel-with-multiindex

[kawochen]

I referenced the wrong issue in my PR:
Bug in read_msgpack where encoding is not respected (GH10580)
It should be 10581.

[jreback]

@rosnfeld not sure about the images... @jorisvandenbossche any idea?

[shoyer]

Looks like we just forgot to commit these images in our PRs. This is easy to miss because because our .gitignore includes the _static directory.

[jreback]

@kawochen fixed that issue, thanks!

[jreback]

So obviously waiting on merging this: #11173 (just needs a couple of more tests).

Thoughts on pushing out a 0.17.0rc2. for say a week? (e.g. till next sunday/monday). Then release next sunday/monday? or just release next sunday/monday. (I am busy with strata this week, so doing a release takes a bit of time).

[jorisvandenbossche]

A second release candidate sounds good to me! At least, if you have the time of course

[jreback]

ok rc2 is up and announced: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pydata/k03SQiBG3jc

[jreback]

and we are released: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pydata/2nUh2UenY_o

thanks to everyone who contributed!
