NumPy 2.0.0rc2 released
by Charles R Harris 12 May '24

12 May '24

Hi All On behalf of the NumPy team, I'm pleased to announce the release of NumPy 2.0.0rc2. NumPy 2.0.0 is the first major release since 2006. It is the result of 11 months of development since the last feature release and is the work of 198 contributors spread over 1041 pull requests. It contains a large number of exciting new features as well as changes to both the Python and C APIs. This major release includes breaking changes that could not happen in a regular minor (feature) release - including an ABI break, changes to type promotion rules, and API changes which may not have been emitting deprecation warnings in 1.26.x. Key documents related to how to adapt to changes in NumPy 2.0 include: - The release notes on Github <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v2.0.0rc1> - The numpy-2-migration-guide <https://numpy.org/devdocs/numpy_2_0_migration_guide.html> - The numpy 2.0-specific advice in for downstream package authors <https://numpy.org/devdocs/dev/depending_on_numpy.html> Highlights include: - A new variable-length string dtype, StringDType, and a new `numpy.strings` namespace with performant ufuncs for string operations. - Support for float32 and long double in all `numpy.fft` functions. - Support for the array API standard in the main numpy namespace. - MacOS Accelerate support and binary wheels for macOS >=14. - A new tracing and introspection API. - Performance improvements. - Python API improvements. - C API improvements. This release supports Python 3.9-3.12. Wheels can be downloaded from PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/numpy/2.0.0rc2>; source archives, release notes, and wheel hashes are available on Github <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v2.0.0rc2>. *Contributors* A total of 198 people contributed to this release.

[RELEASE] Python 3.13.0 beta 1 released
by Thomas Wouters 08 May '24

08 May '24

After a little bit of excitement discovering new bugs during the release, *it’s done*: 3.13.0 beta 1 is released, the 3.13 branch has been created, and features for 3.13 are frozen! The main branch is now 3.14.0a0. https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3130b1/ *This is a beta preview of Python 3.13* Python 3.13 is still in development. This release, 3.13.0b1, is the first of four beta release previews of 3.13. Beta release previews are intended to give the wider community the opportunity to test new features and bug fixes and to prepare their projects to support the new feature release. We *strongly encourage* maintainers of third-party Python projects to *test with 3.13* during the beta phase and report issues found to the Python bug tracker <https://github.com/python/cpython/issues> as soon as possible. While the release is planned to be feature complete entering the beta phase, it is possible that features may be modified or, in rare cases, deleted up until the start of the release candidate phase (Tuesday 2024-07-30). Our goal is to have no ABI changes after beta 4 and as few code changes as possible after 3.13.0rc1, the first release candidate. To achieve that, it will be *extremely important* to get as much exposure for 3.13 as possible during the beta phase. Please keep in mind that this is a preview release and its use is *not* recommended for production environments. <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-0b1-now-available/52891#major-new-…>Major new features of the 3.13 series, compared to 3.12 Some of the new major new features and changes in Python 3.13 are: <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-0b1-now-available/52891#new-featur…>New features - A new and improved interactive interpreter <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#a-better-interactive-interp…>, based on PyPy <https://pypy.org>’s, featuring multi-line editing and color support, as well as colorized exception tracebacks <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#improved-error-messages> . - An *experimental* free-threaded build mode <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#free-threaded-cpython>, which disables the Global Interpreter Lock, allowing threads to run more concurrently. - A preliminary, *experimental* JIT <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#experimental-jit-compiler>, providing the ground work for significant performance improvements. - The (cyclic) garbage collector is now incremental <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#incremental-garbage-collect…>, which should mean shorter pauses for collection in programs with a lot of objects. - A modified version of mimalloc <https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc> is now included, optional but enabled by default if supported by the platform, and required for the free-threaded build mode. - Docstrings now have their leading indentation stripped <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#other-language-changes>, reducing memory use and the size of .pyc files. (Most tools handling docstrings already strip leading indentation.) - The dbm module <https://docs.python.org/3.13/library/dbm.html> has a new dbm.sqlite3 backend <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#dbm> that is used by default when creating new files. <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-0b1-now-available/52891#typing-3> Typing - Support for type defaults in type parameters <https://peps.python.org/pep-0696/>. - A new type narrowing annotation <https://peps.python.org/pep-0742/>, typing.TypeIs. - A new annotation for read-only items in TypeDicts <https://peps.python.org/pep-0705/>. <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-0b1-now-available/52891#removals-a…>Removals and new deprecations - PEP 594 (Removing dead batteries from the standard library) <https://peps.python.org/pep-0594/> scheduled removals of many deprecated modules: aifc, audioop, chunk, cgi, cgitb, crypt, imghdr, mailcap, msilib, nis, nntplib, ossaudiodev, pipes, sndhdr, spwd, sunau, telnetlib, uu, xdrlib, lib2to3. - Many other removals <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#removed> of deprecated classes, functions and methods in various standard library modules. - C API removals <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#id10> and deprecations <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#id9>. (Some removals present in alpha 1 were reverted in alpha 2, as the removals were deemed too disruptive at this time.) - New deprecations <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#deprecated>, most of which are scheduled for removal from Python 3.15 or 3.16. (Hey, *fellow core developer,* if a feature you find important is missing from this list, let Thomas know <thomas(a)python.org>.) For more details on the changes to Python 3.13, see What’s new in Python 3.13 <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html>. The next pre-release of Python 3.13 will be 3.13.0b2, currently scheduled for 2024-05-28. <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-0b1-now-available/52891#more-resou…>More resources - Online Documentation <https://docs.python.org/3.13/> - PEP 719 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0719/>, 3.13 Release Schedule - Report bugs at Issues · python/cpython · GitHub <https://github.com/python/cpython/issues>. - Help fund Python directly <https://www.python.org/psf/donations/python-dev/> (or via GitHub Sponsors <https://github.com/sponsors/python>), and support the Python community <https://www.python.org/psf/donations/>. <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-0b1-now-available/52891#enjoy-the-…>Enjoy the new releases Thanks to all of the many volunteers who help make Python Development and these releases possible!
