Hi All,

On behalf of the NumPy team I am pleased to announce that NumPy 1.18.1 has
been released. This release contains fixes for bugs reported against NumPy
1.18.0. Two bugs in particular that caused widespread problems downstream
were:

   - The cython random extension test was not using a temporary directory
   for building, resulting in a permission violation. Fixed.
   - Numpy distutils was appending -std=c99 to all C compiler runs, leading
   to changed behavior and compile problems downstream. That flag is now only
   applied when building numpy C code.

The Python versions supported in this release are 3.5-3.8. Downstream
developers should use Cython >= 0.29.14 for Python 3.8 support and OpenBLAS
>= 3.7 to avoid errors on the Skylake architecture.  Wheels for this
release can be downloaded from PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/numpy/1.18.1>,
source archives and release notes are available from Github
<https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v1.18.1>.
