Hi All, On behalf of the NumPy team I am pleased to announce that NumPy 1.17.1 has been released. This release contains a number of fixes for bugs reported against NumPy 1.17.0 along with a few documentation and build improvements. The Python versions supported are 3.5-3.7, note that Python 2.7 has been dropped. Python 3.8b3 should work with the released source packages, but there are no future guarantees. Downstream developers should use Cython >= 0.29.13 for Python 3.8 support and OpenBLAS >= 3.7 to avoid wrong results on the Skylake architecture. The NumPy wheels on PyPI are built from the OpenBLAS development branch in order to avoid those problems. Wheels for this release can be downloaded from PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/numpy/1.17.1/>, source archives and release notes are available from Github <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v1.17.1>. *Contributors* A total of 17 people contributed to this release.
