[Python-announce] NumPy 2.2.4 released

Hi All,

On behalf of the NumPy team, I'm pleased to announce the release of
NumPy 2.2.3. NumPy 2.2.4 is a patch release that fixes bugs found after the
2.2.3 release. There are a large number of typing improvements, the rest of
the changes are the usual mix of bug fixes and platform maintenance.

This release supports Python 3.10-3.13. Wheels can be downloaded from PyPI
<https://pypi.org/project/numpy/2.2.4>; source archives, release notes, and
wheel hashes are available on Github
<https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v2.2.4>.
