NumPy 1.18.4 Release Notes#

This is the last planned release in the 1.18.x series. It reverts the bool("0") behavior introduced in 1.18.3 and fixes a bug in Generator.integers. There is also a link to a new troubleshooting section in the documentation included in the error message emitted when numpy import fails.

The Python versions supported in this release are 3.5-3.8. Downstream developers should use Cython >= 0.29.15 for Python 3.8 support and OpenBLAS >= 3.7 to avoid errors on the Skylake architecture.
