This is documentation for an old release of NumPy (version 1.19). Read this page in the documentation of the latest stable release (version 2.2).
NumPy 1.16.5 Release Notes¶
The NumPy 1.16.5 release fixes bugs reported against the 1.16.4 release, and also backports several enhancements from master that seem appropriate for a release series that is the last to support Python 2.7. The wheels on PyPI are linked with OpenBLAS v0.3.7-dev, which should fix errors on Skylake series cpus.
Downstream developers building this release should use Cython >= 0.29.2 and, if using OpenBLAS, OpenBLAS >= v0.3.7. The supported Python versions are 2.7 and 3.5-3.7.
