# NumPy 2.0.1 Release Notes

NumPy 2.0.1 is a maintenance release that fixes bugs and regressions discovered after the 2.0.0 release. NumPy 2.0.1 is the last planned release in the 2.0.x series, 2.1.0rc1 should be out shortly.

The Python versions supported by this release are 3.9-3.12.

## Improvements

### `np.quantile` with method `closest_observation` chooses nearest even order statistic

This changes the definition of nearest for border cases from the nearest odd order statistic to nearest even order statistic. The numpy implementation now matches other reference implementations.
