SciPy 1.2.1 Release Notes

SciPy 1.2.1 is a bug-fix release with no new features compared to 1.2.0. Most importantly, it solves the issue that 1.2.0 cannot be installed from source on Python 2.7 because of non-ascii character issues.

It is also notable that SciPy 1.2.1 wheels were built with OpenBLAS 0.3.5.dev, which may alleviate some linear algebra issues observed in SciPy 1.2.0.
