 NumPy NumPy 1.18.0 Release Notes
 ================================
 
+In addition to the usual bug fixes, this NumPy release cleans up and documents
+the new random C-API, expires a large number of old deprecations, and improves
+the appearance of the documentation. The Python versions supported are 3.5-3.8.
+This is the last NumPy release series that will support Python 3.5.
+
+Downstream developers should use Cython >= 0.29.14 for Python 3.8 support and
+OpenBLAS >= 3.7 to avoid problems on the Skylake
+architecture.
+
+
+Highlights
+==========
+
+* The C-API for ``numpy.random`` has been defined and documented.
+* Basic infrastructure for linking with 64 bit BLAS and LAPACK libraries.
+* Many documentation improvements.
