Why was 17.10.1 released?

I just noticed when going back through the releases that 17.10 was released as usual, but then 17.10.1 was subsequently released. This is not normal - the standard release cycle only has point releases for LTS versions (e.g. 14.04, 16.04, 18.04).



Why was this unusual point release made?

Shortly after release, reports were received of a bug in UEFI firmware of laptops from Lenovo, Acer, and Toshiba which corrupted the BIOS and made the machine unbootable.



In late December the download links of Ubuntu 17.10 were removed from the website. Shortly after, a fixed version of Ubuntu was released as a point release - Ubuntu 17.10.1.



The issue was due to a bug in the Intel Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) kernel module.



The Q&A Does Ubuntu 17.10 break the BIOS? may also be of interest.

            Dulmage-Mendelsohn matrix decomposition in Python

            Image
            0 Matlab has a function called dmperm that computes the so-called Dulmage–Mendelsohn decomposition of a n x n matrix. From wikipedia, the Dulmage–Mendelsohn is a partition of the vertices of a bipartite graph into subsets, with the property that two adjacent vertices belong to the same subset if and only if they are paired with each other in a perfect matching of the graph. Looking both on scipy and numpy, I could not find this function, nor some similar version. Is it possible to implement it using basic linear algebra operations? Any idea if this is implemented in some Python package? python matlab linear-algebra graph-theory matrix-decomposition share | improve this question
