Hi All,
On behalf of the NumPy team I am pleased to announce that NumPy 1.17.5 has
been released. This release fixes bugs reported against the 1.17.4 release.
The supported Python versions are 3.5-3.7. This is the last planned release
that supports Python 3.5. Wheels for this release can be downloaded from
PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/numpy/1.17.5>, source archives and release
notes are available from Github
<https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v1.17.5>. Downstream
developers building this release should use Cython >= 0.29.14 and, if using
OpenBLAS, OpenBLAS >= v0.3.7.
It is recommended that developers interested in the new random bit
generators upgrade to the NumPy 1.18.x series, as it has updated
documentation and many small improvements.
*Highlights*
- The ``np.testing.utils`` functions have been updated from 1.19.0-dev0.
This improves the function documentation and error messages as well
extending the ``assert_array_compare`` function to additional types.
