Release notes

Sourced from numpy's releases.

2.1.0 (Aug 18, 2024)

NumPy 2.1.0 Release Notes

NumPy 2.1.0 provides support for the upcoming Python 3.13 release and drops support for Python 3.9. In addition to the usual bug fixes and updated Python support, it helps get us back into our usual release cycle after the extended development of 2.0. The highlights for this release are:

• Support for the array-api 2023.12 standard.
• Support for Python 3.13.
• Preliminary support for free threaded Python 3.13.

Python versions 3.10-3.13 are supported in this release.

New functions

New function numpy.unstack

A new function np.unstack(array, axis=...) was added, which splits an array into a tuple of arrays along an axis. It serves as the inverse of [numpy.stack]{.title-ref}.

(gh-26579)

Deprecations

• The fix_imports keyword argument in numpy.save is deprecated. Since NumPy 1.17, numpy.save uses a pickle protocol that no longer supports Python 2, and ignored fix_imports keyword. This keyword is kept only for backward compatibility. It is now deprecated.

  (gh-26452)

• Passing non-integer inputs as the first argument of [bincount]{.title-ref} is now deprecated, because such inputs are silently cast to integers with no warning about loss of precision.

  (gh-27076)

Expired deprecations

• Scalars and 0D arrays are disallowed for numpy.nonzero and numpy.ndarray.nonzero.

  (gh-26268)

• set_string_function internal function was removed and PyArray_SetStringFunction was stubbed out.
