[Python-announce] NumPy 2.5.0rc1 released

Hi All,

On behalf of the NumPy team, I'm pleased to announce the release of NumPy
2.5.0rc1. Numpy 2.5.0 is a transitional release. It drops support for
Python 3.11, marking the end of distutils, and expires a large number of
deprecations made in the 2.0.x release. It also improves free threading and
brings sorting into compliance with the array-api standard with the
addition of descending sorts. Python 3.15 will be supported when it is
released. Highlights are:

   - Distutils has been removed,
   - Many expired deprecations,
   - Many new deprecations,
   - Many static typing improvements,
   - Improved support for free threading,
   - Support for descending sorts.

This release is the work of 129 contributors spread over 528 pull requests
and supports Python versions 3.11-3.14. Wheels can be downloaded from PyPI
<https://pypi.org/project/numpy/2.5.0rc1>; release notes and the changelog
are available on Github
<https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v2.5.0rc1>.

Cheers,

Charles Harris
