[Numpy-discussion] NumPy 1.18.0 release

[Charles R Harris]

Hi All,

On behalf of the NumPy team I am pleased to announce that NumPy 1.18.0 has
been released. In addition to the usual bug fixes, this NumPy release
cleans up and documents the new random C-API, expires a large number of old
deprecations, and improves the appearance and organization of the
documentation. The Python versions supported are 3.5-3.8. This is the last
NumPy release series that will support Python 3.5.

The highlights of this release are:

   - the C-API for ``numpy.random`` has been defined and documented,
   - basic infrastructure for linking with 64 bit BLAS and LAPACK libraries,
   - many documentation improvements.

Downstream developers should use Cython >= 0.29.14 for Python 3.8 support
and OpenBLAS >= 3.7 to avoid wrong results on the Skylake architecture. The
NumPy Wheels for this release can be downloaded from PyPI
<https://pypi.org/project/numpy/1.18.0/>, source archives and release notes
are available from Github
<https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v1.18.0>.

*Highlights*

   - The C-API for ``numpy.random`` has been defined and documented.
   - Basic infrastructure for linking with 64 bit BLAS and LAPACK libraries.
   - Many documentation improvements.
