Hi All,

On behalf of the NumPy team I am pleased to announce that NumPy 1.16.5  has
been released. This release fixes bugs reported against the 1.16.4 release
and backports several enhancements from master that seem appropriate for
the LTS release series that is the last to support Python 2.7.

Downstream developers should use Cython >= 0.29.2 and OpenBLAS >= 3.7 to
avoid wrong results on the Skylake architecture. The NumPy wheels on PyPI
are built from the OpenBLAS development branch in order to avoid those
problems. Wheels for this release can be downloaded from PyPI
<https://pypi.org/project/numpy/1.16.5/>, source archives and release notes
are available from Github
<https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v1.16.5>.
