[Python-announce] NumPy 2.2.0 Released

Hi All,

On behalf of the NumPy team, I'm pleased to announce the release of NumPy
2.2.0. The NumPy 2.2.0 release is a short release that brings us back into
sync with the usual twice yearly release cycle. There have been a number of
small cleanups, as well as work bringing the new StringDType to completion
and improving support for free threaded Python. Highlights are:

   - New functions `matvec` and `vecmat`, see below.
   - Many improved annotations.
   - Improved support for the new StringDType.
   - Improved support for free threaded Python
   - Fixes for f2py

This release supports Python 3.10-3.13. Wheels can be downloaded from PyPI
<https://pypi.org/project/numpy/2.2.0>; source archives, release notes, and
wheel hashes are available on Github
<https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v2.2.0>.

Cheers,

Charles Harris
