On behalf of the NumPy team I am pleased to announce that NumPy 1.17.3 has been released. This is a bugfix release. The Python versions supported in this release are 3.5-3.8.
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 NumP Wheels for this release can be downloaded from
PyPI, source archives and release notes are available from
Github.
Highlights- Wheels for Python 3.8
- Boolean matmul fixed to use booleans instead of integers.
Compatibility notes- The seldom used PyArray_DescrCheck macro has been changed/fixed.
