 NumPy 1.16.2 Release Notes
 ==========================
 
+NumPy 1.16.2 is a quick release fixing several problems encountered on Windows.
+The Python versions supported are 2.7 and 3.5-3.7. The Windows problems
+addressed are:
 
-Highlights
-==========
+- DLL load problems for NumPy wheels on Windows,
+- distutils command line parsing on Windows.
 
+There is also a regression fix correcting signed zeros produced by divmod, see
+below for details.
 
-New functions
-=============
+Downstream developers building this release should use Cython >= 0.29.2 and, if
+using OpenBLAS, OpenBLAS > v0.3.4.
 
-
-New deprecations
-================
-
-
-Expired deprecations
-====================
-
-
-Future changes
-==============
+If you are installing using pip, you may encounter a problem with older
+installed versions of NumPy that pip did not delete becoming mixed with the
+current version, resulting in an ``ImportError``. That problem is particularly
+common on Debian derived distributions due to a modified pip.  The fix is to
+make sure all previous NumPy versions installed by pip have been removed. See
+`#12736 <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/12736>`__ for discussion of the
+issue.
