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:
- 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.
Downstream developers building this release should use Cython >= 0.29.2 and, if
using OpenBLAS, OpenBLAS > v0.3.4.
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.
Compatibility notes
===================
Signed zero when using divmod
-----------------------------
Starting in version 1.12.0, numpy incorrectly returned a negatively signed zero
when using the ``divmod`` and ``floor_divide`` functions when the result was
zero. For example::
>>> np.zeros(10)//1
array([-0., -0., -0., -0., -0., -0., -0., -0., -0., -0.])
With this release, the result is correctly returned as a positively signed
zero::
>>> np.zeros(10)//1
array([0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0.])
