NumPy 1.26.0 Release Notes

The NumPy 1.26.0 release is a continuation of the 1.25.x release cycle with the addition of Python 3.12.0 support. Python 3.12 dropped distutils, consequently supporting it required finding a replacement for the setup.py/distutils based build system NumPy was using. We have chosen to use the Meson build system instead, and this is the first NumPy release supporting it. This is also the first release that supports Cython 3.0 in addition to retaining 0.29.X compatibility. Supporting those two upgrades was a large project, over 100 files have been touched in this release. The changelog doesn't capture the full extent of the work, special thanks to Ralf Gommers, Sayed Adel, Stéfan van der Walt, and Matti Picus who did much of the work in the main development branch.

The highlights of this release are:

• Python 3.12.0 support.
• Cython 3.0.0 compatibility.
• Use of the Meson build system
• Updated SIMD support
• f2py fixes, meson and bind(x) support
• Support for the updated Accelerate BLAS/LAPACK library

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

New Features

Array API v2022.12 support in numpy.array_api

numpy.array_api now full supports the v2022.12 version of the array API standard. Note that this does not yet include the optional fft extension in the standard.

Support for the updated Accelerate BLAS/LAPACK library

Support for the updated Accelerate BLAS/LAPACK library, including ILP64 (64-bit integer) support, in macOS 13.3 has been added. This brings arm64 support, and significant performance improvements of up to 10x for commonly used linear algebra operations. When Accelerate is selected at build time, the 13.3+ version will automatically be used if available.

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. If you'd rather skip all updates until the next major or minor version, let me know by commenting @dependabot ignore this major version or @dependabot ignore this minor version. You can also ignore all major, minor, or patch releases for a dependency by adding an ignore condition with the desired update_types to your config file.

If you change your mind, just re-open this PR and I'll resolve any conflicts on it.
