Hi All,
The 1.26.x maintenance branch has been created. The 1.26.x branch is a continuation of the 1.25.x branch and serves to mark the change from our distutils based builds to the meson builds needed to support the upcoming Python 3.12 release.
Awesome, thanks Chuck! Just checking: are you preparing one or a couple of backport PRs for the merged PRs with the Backport-Candidate label? If you want me to do the build system related ones, please let me know. We're pretty close to the finish line - most of the TODO items at https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/23981 were done. The main one left is SIMD support, and Sayed got quite far already in making that work - I'm prioritizing reviewing it now. We should be able to do a beta release without it though, as soon as Python 3.12.0rc1 shows up (possibly it will appear later today). Cheers, Ralf
