NumPy 1.17.1 Release Notes
==========================

This release contains a number of fixes for bugs reported against NumPy 1.17.0
along with a few documentation and build improvements.  The Python versions
supported are 3.5-3.7, note that Python 2.7 has been dropped.  Python 3.8b3
should work with the released source packages, but there are no future
guarantees.

Downstream developers should use Cython >= 0.29.13 for Python 3.8 support and
OpenBLAS >= 3.7 to avoid problems on the Skylake architecture. The NumPy wheels
on PyPI are built from the OpenBLAS development branch in order to avoid those
problems.
