New Constants package
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Collection of physical constants and conversion factors.
``scipy.constants`` provides a collection of physical constants and
conversion factors. These constants are taken from CODATA Recommended
Values of the Fundamental Physical Constants: 2002. They may be found
at physics.nist.gov/constants. The values are stored in the dictionary
physical_constants as a tuple containing the value, the units, and
the relative precision, in that order. All constants are in SI units
unless otherwise stated. Several helper functions are provided.

The list is not meant to be comprehensive, but just a convenient list
for everyday use.

New Radial Basis Function module
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

http://scipy.org/scipy/scipy/browser/trunk/scipy/interpolate/rbf.py
``scipy.interpolate`` now contains a Radial Basis Function module.
Radial basis functions can be used for smoothing/interpolating scattered
data in n-dimensions, but should be used with caution for extrapolation
outside of the observed data range.

New complex ODE integrator
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
