[Python-announce] NumPy 1.21.5 released

[Charles R Harris]

Hi All,

On behalf of the NumPy team I am pleased to announce the release of NumPy
1.21.5. NumPy 1.21.5 is a maintenance release that fixes a few bugs
discovered after the 1.21.4 release and does some maintenance to extend the
1.21.x lifetime. The Python versions supported in this release are
3.7-3.10. If you want to compile your own version using gcc-11, you will
need to use gcc-11.2+ to avoid problems.

The Python versions supported in this release are 3.7-3.10. If you want to
compile your own version using gcc-11 you will need to use gcc-11.2+ to
avoid problems. Wheels can be downloaded from PyPI
<https://pypi.org/project/numpy/1.21.5/>; source archives, release notes,
and wheel hashes are available on Github
<https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v1.21.5>. Linux users will
need pip >= 0.19.3 in order to install manylinux2010 and manylinux2014
wheels. A recent version of pip is needed to install the universal2
macos wheels.
