[Numpy-discussion] NumPy 1.17.4 release.

[Charles R Harris]

Hi All,

On behalf of the NumPy team I am pleased to announce that NumPy 1.17.4 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
NumPy Wheels for this release can be downloaded from PyPI
<https://pypi.org/project/numpy/1.17.4/>, source archives and release notes
are available from Github
<https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v1.17.4>.

*Highlights*

   - Fixed `random.random_integers` biased generation of 8 and 16 bit
   integers.
   - Fixed `np.einsum` regression on Power9 and z/Linux.
   - Fixed histogram problem with signed integer arrays
