    From Charles R Harris@charlesr.harris@gmail.com to comp.lang.python.announce on Sat Jan 10 11:35:43 2026

    Hi All,

    On behalf of the NumPy team, I'm pleased to announce the release of NumPy 2.4.1. NumPy 2.4.1 is a patch release that fixes bugs discovered after the 2.4.0 release. In particular, the typo `SeedlessSequence` is preserved to enable wheels using the random Cython API and built against NumPy < 2.4.0
    to run without errors.

    This release supports Python versions 3.11-3.14. Wheels can be downloaded
    from PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/numpy/2.4.1>; release notes and the changelog are available on Github <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v2.4.1>.
