+Build System Changes
+====================
+
+* Numpy now uses ``setuptools`` for its builds instead of plain distutils.
+ This fixes usage of ``install_requires='numpy'`` in the ``setup.py`` files of
+ projects that depend on Numpy (see gh-6551). It potentially affects the way
+ that build/install methods for Numpy itself behave though. Please report any
+ unexpected behavior on the Numpy issue tracker.
* Bento build support and related files have been removed.
* Single file build support and related files have been removed.
