NumPy 2.0.0 Release Notes
=========================


Highlights

New features
============

New 16-bit floating point type
------------------------------

This release adds support for the IEEE 754-2008 binary16
format, available as the data type `numpy.half`.  Within Python,
the type behaves similarly to `float` or `double`, and C extensions
can add support for it with the exposed half-float API.
