# NumPy 1.21.2 Release Notes

The NumPy 1.21.2 is a maintenance release that fixes bugs discovered after 1.21.1. It also provides 64 bit manylinux Python 3.10.0rc1 wheels for downstream testing. Note that Python 3.10 is not yet final. It also has preliminary support for Windows on ARM64, but there is no OpenBLAS for that platform and no wheels are available.

The Python versions supported for this release are 3.7-3.9. The 1.21.x series is compatible with Python 3.10.0rc1 and Python 3.10 will be officially supported after it is released. The previous problems with gcc-11.1 have been fixed by gcc-11.2, check your version if you are using gcc-11.
