Fixes Python & C compiler fallback path for all cases on x86/x86_64 Linux. Without this fix, people were required to use our new compilers, which is not something we want to enforce at this time. This was affecting travis-ci builds and pip installs of packages that require compilation for extensions.

Over 100 packages updated and added. MKL is updated to 2018.0.0. JupyterLab alpha preview 0.27.0 is included.
All new compilers on macOS and Linux, giving substantial security and performance improvements.
Where possible, all build recipes use conda-forge as a base, using AnacondaRecipes .
A new channel, pkgs/main, has been added to defaults. The new channel is given top priority within defaults and holds packages built with the new compiler stack.
Continuum Analytics has been renamed to Anaconda, Inc. See this blog post for more.
Spaces are no longer allowed in the installation path on Windows.
Transitioned to more flexible dependency pinning of numpy packages, giving wider ranges of compatibility.

Anaconda 4.4.0 (May 31, 2017)#

Anaconda 4.4 was released on May 31, 2017 and includes the following:

Support added for the “ppc64le” machine type, for the POWER8 LE architecture used by IBM Power Systems and OpenPOWER servers.
On Windows, the PATH environment variable is no longer changed by default, as this can cause trouble with other software. Instead, use Anaconda Navigator or the Anaconda Prompt in the Start Menu under “Anaconda” to use Anaconda software. If a user does choose to change the PATH variable, Anaconda is no longer appended to the PATH in system mode, and is now always added to the front of PATH in either system mode or user mode.
Python 3.5 is updated from 3.5.2 to 3.5.3 and Python 3.6 from 3.6.0 to 3.6.1. Anaconda 4.4 supports Python 2.7, 3.5, and 3.6. Anaconda 4.3 was the last release to support Python 3.4.
Minimum supported version of CentOS is now CentOS 6. Anaconda 4.3 was the last release to support CentOS 5.
Applied pycrypto patch for CVE-2013-7439.
Improved cp_acp support for install paths with non-ASCII characters on Windows.
conda is updated from 4.3.14 to 4.3.21.
Navigator is updated from 1.5.0 to 1.6.2.
Project is updated from 0.4.1 to 0.6.0.
Added distributed and pyodbc to the installers.
Updated EULA.
Conda packages with “mkl” in the package name now contain a file license.txt with a copy of the Intel Simplified Software License that applies to the Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL).
Over 90 packages are updated or added.

Highlights:

add support for the ppc64le (POWER8 LE used by IBM Power Systems and OpenPOWER servers) machine types

Other changes:

On Windows, the PATH environment variable is no longer changed by default, as this can cause trouble with other software. The recommended approach is to instead use Anaconda Navigator or the Anaconda Prompt (located in the Start Menu under “Anaconda”) when you wish to use Anaconda software. Also, Anaconda will always be added to the front of PATH, for either system or user mode. (Previously it was appended to the system path.)
improve cp_acp support for install path on Windows
updated 80 packages in the installer (and their dependencies)
added distributed and pyodbc to the installers
apply pycrypto patch for CVE-2013-7439
end support for CentOS 5. CentOS 6 is now the minimum supported version.
