+- update to version 2.8.5:
+  * A validate function has been added. This function checks the
+    inputs, returning None on success or raising an exception on
+    invalid inputs. This function was added as numerous projects seem
+    to be using NumExpr for parsing user inputs. re_evaluate may be
+    called directly following validate.
+  * As an addendum to the use of NumExpr for parsing user inputs, is
+    that NumExpr calls eval on the inputs. A regular expression is now
+    applied to help sanitize the input expression string, forbidding
+    '__', ':', and ';'. Attribute access is also banned except for
+    '.r' for real and '.i' for imag.
+  * Thanks to timbrist for a fix to behavior of NumExpr with integers
+    to negative powers. NumExpr was pre-checking integer powers for
+    negative values, which was both inefficient and caused parsing
+    errors in some situations. Now NumExpr will simply return 0 as a
+    result for such cases. While NumExpr generally tries to follow
+    NumPy behavior, performance is also critical.
+  * Thanks to peadar for some fixes to how NumExpr launches threads
+    for embedded applications.
+  * Thanks to de11n for making parsing of the site.cfg for MKL
+    consistent among all shared platforms.
