+==========================
+NumPy 1.17.4 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+This release contains fixes for bugs reported against NumPy 1.17.3 along with
+some build improvements. The Python versions supported in this release
+are 3.5-3.8.
+
+Downstream developers should use Cython >= 0.29.13 for Python 3.8 support and
+OpenBLAS >= 3.7 to avoid errors on the Skylake architecture.
+
+
+Highlights
+==========
+
+- Fixed `random.random_integers` biased generation of 8 and 16 bit integers.
+- Fixed `np.einsum` regression on Power9 and z/Linux.
+- Fixed histogram problem with signed integer arrays.
