# NumPy 1.10.4 Release Notes

This release is a bugfix source release motivated by a segfault regression. No windows binaries are provided for this release, as there appear to be bugs in the toolchain we use to generate those files. Hopefully that problem will be fixed for the next release. In the meantime, we suggest using one of the providers of windows binaries.

## Compatibility notes

- The trace function now calls the trace method on subclasses of ndarray, except for matrix, for which the current behavior is preserved. This is to help with the units package of AstroPy and hopefully will not cause problems.

## Issues Fixed

- gh-6922 BUG: numpy.recarray.sort segfaults on Windows.

- gh-6937 BUG: busday_offset does the wrong thing with modifiedpreceding roll.

- gh-6949 BUG: Type is lost when slicing a subclass of recarray.
