Hi All, On behalf of the NumPy team, I'm pleased to announce the release of NumPy 1.24.0rc1. The NumPy 1.24.0 release continues the ongoing work to improve the handling and promotion of dtypes, increase execution speed, and clarify the documentation. There are also a large number of new and expired deprecations due to changes in promotion and cleanups. This might be called a deprecation release. Highlights are - Many new deprecations. - Many expired deprecations. - New f2py features and fixes. - New "dtype" and "casting" keywords for stacking functions. The Python versions supported in this release are 3.8-3.11 Note that 32 bit wheels are only provided for Windows, all other wheels are 64 bits on account of Ubuntu, Fedora, and other Linux distributions dropping 32 bit support. Wheels can be downloaded from PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/numpy/1.24.0rc1/>; source archives, release notes, and wheel hashes are available on Github <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v1.24.0rc1>. The Python 3.8 aarch64 wheel is missing from this pre-release due to build problems. *Contributors* A total of 174 people contributed to this release.
