+``np.quantile`` and ``np.nanquantile``
+--------------------------------------
+Like ``np.percentile`` and ``np.nanpercentile``, but takes quantiles in [0, 1]
+rather than percentiles in [0, 100]. ``np.percentile`` is now a thin wrapper
+around ``np.quantile`` with the extra step of dividing by 100.

 Added experimental support for the 64-bit RISC-V architecture.
