    Hi All,

    On behalf of the NumPy team, I'm pleased to announce the release of NumPy 2.4.4. NumPy 2.4.4 is a patch release that fixes bugs discovered after the 2.4.3 release. It should finally close issue #30816, the OpenBLAS threading problem on ARM.

    This release supports Python versions 3.11-3.14. Wheels can be downloaded
    from PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/numpy/2.4.4>; release notes and the changelog are available on Github <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v2.4.4>.
