[$] A new major version of NumPy

Date:
Fri, 19 Jul 2024 16:41:11 +0000

Description:
The NumPy project released version 2.0.0 on
June 16, the first major release of the widely
used Python-based numeric-computing library since 2006. The release has been 
planned for some
time, as an opportunity to clean up NumPy's API. As with most NumPy updates,
there are performance improvements to several individual functions. There are 
only a few new
features, but several backward-incompatible changes, including a change to
NumPy's numeric-promotion rules. Changes to the Python API require relatively 
minor changes to
Python code using the library, but the changes to the C API may be more
difficult to adapt to. In
both cases, the official migration guide describes what needs to be adapted 
to the new version.
