[Numpy-discussion] NumPy 1.19.2 released

[Charles R Harris]

Hi All,

On behalf of the NumPy team I am pleased to announce that NumPy 1.19.2 has
been released. This release fixes several bugs, prepares for the upcoming
Cython 3.x release. and pins setuptools to keep distutils working while
upstream modifications are ongoing. The aarch64 wheels are built with the
latest manylinux2014 release
that fixes the problem of differing page sizes used by different Linux
distros.

There is a known problem with Windows 10 version=2004 and OpenBLAS svd that
we are trying to debug. If you are running that Windows version you should
use a NumPy version that links to the MKL library, earlier Windows versions
are fine.

This release supports Python 3.6-3.8. Downstream developers should use
Cython >= 0.29.21 when building for Python 3.9 and Cython >= 0.29.16 when
building for Python 3.8. OpenBLAS >= 3.7 is needed to avoid wrong results
on the Skylake architecture. The NumPy Wheels for this release can be
downloaded from PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/numpy/1.19.2/>, source
archives, release notes, and wheel hashes are available from Github
<https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v1.19.2>. Linux users will
need pip >= 0.19.3 in order to install manylinux2010 and manylinux2014
wheels.
