NumPy 1.16.3 Release Notes
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
The NumPy 1.16.3 release fixes bugs reported against the 1.16.2 release, and
|
|
also backports several enhancements from master that seem appropriate for a
|
|
release series that is the last to support Python 2.7. The wheels on PyPI are
|
|
linked with OpenBLAS v0.3.4+, which should fix the known threading issues
|
|
found in previous OpenBLAS versions.
|
|
|
|
Downstream developers building this release should use Cython >= 0.29.2 and,
|
|
if using OpenBLAS, OpenBLAS > v0.3.4.
|
|
|
|
The most noticeable change in this release is that unpickling object arrays
|
|
when loading ``*.npy`` or ``*.npz`` files now requires an explicit opt-in.
|
|
This backwards incompatible change was made in response to
|
|
`CVE-2019-6446 <https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-6446>`_.
|
|

|
Compatibility notes
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Unpickling while loading requires explicit opt-in
|
|
-------------------------------------------------
|
|
The functions ``np.load``, and ``np.lib.format.read_array`` take an
|
|
`allow_pickle` keyword which now defaults to ``False`` in response to
|
|
`CVE-2019-6446 <https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-6446>`_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Improvements
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Covariance in `random.mvnormal` cast to double
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
This should make the tolerance used when checking the singular values of the
|
|
covariance matrix more meaningful.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changes
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
``__array_interface__`` offset now works as documented
|
|
------------------------------------------------------
|
|
The interface may use an ``offset`` value that was previously mistakenly
|
|
ignored.
