    From Newsgroup: comp.lang.python.announce

    Hi All

    On behalf of the NumPy team, I'm pleased to announce the release of NumPy 2.0.0rc1. NumPy 2.0.0 is the first major release since 2006. It is the
    result of 10 months of development since the last feature release and is
    the work of 193 contributors spread over 1005 pull requests. It contains a large number of exciting new features as well as changes to both the Python
    and C APIs.

    This major release includes breaking changes that could not happen in a
    regular minor (feature) release - including an ABI break, changes to type promotion rules, and API changes which may not have been emitting
    deprecation warnings in 1.26.x. Key documents related to how to adapt to changes in NumPy 2.0 include:

    - The release notes on Github
    <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v2.0.0rc1>
    - The numpy-2-migration-guide
    <https://numpy.org/devdocs/numpy_2_0_migration_guide.html>
    - The numpy 2.0-specific advice in for downstream package authors
    <https://numpy.org/devdocs/dev/depending_on_numpy.html>

    Highlights include:

    - A new variable-length string dtype, StringDType, and a new
    `numpy.strings` namespace with performant ufuncs for string operations.
    - Support for float32 and long double in all `numpy.fft` functions.
    - Support for the array API standard in the main numpy namespace.
    - MacOS Accelerate support and binary wheels for macOS >=14.
    - A new tracing and introspection API.
    - Performance improvements.
    - Python API improvements.
    - C API improvements.

    This release supports Python 3.9-3.12. Wheels can be downloaded from PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/numpy/2.0.0rc1>; source archives, release notes,
    and wheel hashes are available on Github <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v2.0.0rc1>.
