Hi All, On behalf of the NumPy team I am pleased to announce the release of NumPy 1.16.2. This is a quick release fixing several problems encountered on Windows. The Python versions supported are 2.7 and 3.5-3.7. The Windows problems addressed are: - DLL load problems for NumPy wheels on Windows, - distutils command line parsing on Windows. There is also a regression fix correcting signed zeros produced by divmod, see the release notes for details. Downstream developers building this release should use Cython >= 0.29.2 and, if using OpenBLAS, OpenBLAS > v0.3.4. If you are installing using pip, you may encounter a problem with older installed versions of NumPy that pip did not delete becoming mixed with the current version, resulting in an ``ImportError``. That problem is particularly common on Debian derived distributions due to a modified pip. The fix is to make sure all previous NumPy versions installed by pip have been removed. See #12736 https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/12736 for discussion of the issue. Wheels for this release can be downloaded from PyPI https://pypi.org/project/numpy/1.16.2/, source archives and release notes are available from Github https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v1.16.2. *Contributors* A total of 5 people contributed to this release.
