NumPy 1.15.2 released

[Charles R Harris]

Hi All,

On behalf of the NumPy team, I am pleased to announce the release of NumPy
1.15.2. This is a bug fix release for bugs and regressions reported
following the 1.15.2 release. The fixes are:

   - the matrix PendingDeprecationWarning is now suppressed in pytest 3.8,
   - the new cached allocations machinery has been fixed to be thread safe,
   - the boolean indexing of subclasses now works correctly,
   - a small memory leak in PyArray_AdaptFlexibleDType has been fixed.

The Python versions supported by this release are 2.7, 3.4-3.7. The wheels
are linked with OpenBLAS v0.3.0, which should fix some of the linalg
problems reported for NumPy 1.14. Wheels for this release can be downloaded
from PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/numpy/1.15.2/>, source archives are
available from Github <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v1.15.2>

Compatibility Note
==================

The NumPy 1.15.x OS X wheels released on PyPI no longer contain 32-bit
binaries.  That will also be the case in future releases. See
`#11625 <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/11625>`__ for the related
discussion.  Those needing 32-bit support should look elsewhere or build
from source.
