We've had a few Numeric -> NumPy bugs reported,

http://bugzilla.open-bio.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2658
Bug 2658 - Bio.PDB.Neighborsearch

http://bugzilla.open-bio.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2649
Bug 2649 - Bio.KDTree (probably fixed)

I don't think we should release Biopython 1.49 final until these are
resolved - but if there was interest I could put out a second beta.
