+NumPy 1.17.5 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+This release contains fixes for bugs reported against NumPy 1.17.4 along with
+some build improvements. The Python versions supported in this release
+are 3.5-3.8.
+
+Downstream developers should use Cython >= 0.29.14 for Python 3.8 support and
+OpenBLAS >= 3.7 to avoid errors on the Skylake architecture.
+
+It is recommended that developers interested in the new random bit generators
+upgrade to the NumPy 1.18.x series, as it has updated documentation and
+many small improvements.
