Hi All,

On behalf of the NumPy team I am pleased to announce that NumPy 1.19.3 has been released. NumPy 1.19.3 is a small maintenance release with two major improvements:

- Python 3.9 binary wheels on all supported platforms, - OpenBLAS fixes for Windows 10 version 2004 fmod bug.

This release supports Python 3.6-3.9 and is linked with OpenBLAS 3.12 to avoid some of the fmod problems on Windows 10 version 2004. Microsoft is aware of the problem and users should upgrade when the fix becomes available, the fix here is limited in scope.

NumPy Wheels for this release can be downloaded from the PyPI https://pypi.org/project/numpy/1.19.3/, source archives, release notes, and wheel hashes are available on Github https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v1.19.3. Linux users will need pip >= 0.19.3 in order to install manylinux2010 and manylinux2014 wheels.
