    Hi All,

    Numpy 2.5.0 is a transitional release. It drops support for Python 3.11, marking the end of distutils, and expires a large number of deprecations
    made in the 2.0.x release. It also improves free threading and brings
    sorting into compliance with the array-api standard with the addition of descending sorts.
    There is also a fair amount of preparation for Python 3.15, which will be supported starting with the first rc. Highlights are:

    - Distutils has been removed,
    - Many expired deprecations,
    - Many new deprecations,
    - Many static typing improvements,
    - Improved support for free threading,
    - Support for descending sorts.

    This release is the work of 132 contributors spread over 555 pull requests
    and supports Python versions 3.12-3.14. Wheels can be downloaded from PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/numpy/2.5.0>; release notes and the changelog are available on Github <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v2.5.0>.

    Cheers,

    Charles Harris
