NumPy 1.14.2 Release Notes

This is a bugfix release for some bugs reported following the 1.14.1 release. The major problems dealt with are as follows.

• Residual bugs in the new array printing functionality.

• Regression resulting in a relocation problem with shared library.

• Improved PyPy compatibility.

The Python versions supported in this release are 2.7 and 3.4 - 3.6. The Python 3.6 wheels available from PIP are built with Python 3.6.2 and should be compatible with all previous versions of Python 3.6. The source releases were cythonized with Cython 0.26.1, which is known to not support the upcoming Python 3.7 release. People who wish to run Python 3.7 should check out the NumPy repo and try building with the, as yet, unreleased master branch of Cython.
