Hi All, On behalf of the NumPy team, I'm pleased to announce the release of NumPy 1.26.1. NumPy 1.26.1 is a maintenance release that fixes bugs and regressions discovered after the 1.26.0 release. In addition, it adds new functionality for detecting BLAS and LAPACK when building from source. Highlights are: - Improved detection of BLAS and LAPACK libraries for meson builds - Pickle compatibility with the upcoming NumPy 2.0. The Python versions supported by this release are 3.9-3.12. Wheels can be downloaded from PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/numpy/1.26.1/>; source archives, release notes, and wheel hashes are available on Github <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v1.26.1>. The release notes have documentation of the new meson functionality. *Contributors* A total of 13 people contributed to this release.
