AMY release v1.5.1¶
This past month we had a number of submissions from prospect GSOC'16 students (yay!) and, for the first time, number of bugs fixed exceeded number of new enhancements.
Since the number of new features is small, we decided to release a minor version (v1.5.1).
Contributions by GSOC students¶
March 2016 held GSOC'16 applications period for students. We had a lot of students this year and we encouraged them to take a look at AMY and maybe fix something. This resulted in a number of good contributions.
