[$] A new major version of NumPy

The NumPy project released version 2.0.0 onJune 16, the first major release of the widelyused Python-based numeric-computing library since 2006. The release has been planned for sometime, 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 newfeatures, but several backward-incompatible changes, including a change toNumPy's numeric-promotion rules. Changes to the Python API require relatively minor changes toPython code using the library, but the changes to the C API may be moredifficult to adapt to. Inboth cases, the officialmigration guide describes what needs to be adapted to the new version.
