Hi All,

On behalf of the NumPy team I am pleased to announce the release of NumPy 1.21.0rc2. The highlights are

  • continued SIMD work covering more functions and platforms,
  • initial work on the new dtype infrastructure and casting,
  • universal2 wheels for Python 3.8 and Python 3.9 on Mac,
  • improved documentation,
  • improved annotations,
  • new ``PCG64DXSM`` bitgenerator for random numbers.

This NumPy release is the result of 571 merged pull requests contributed by 173 people. The Python versions supported for this release are 3.7-3.9, support for Python 3.10 will be added after Python 3.10 is released. Wheels can be downloaded from PyPI; source archives, release notes, and wheel hashes are available on Github. Linux users will need pip >= 0.19.3 in order to install manylinux2010 and manylinux2014 wheels.
