+### NumPy 2.0.0 released
+
+_16 Jun, 2024_ -- NumPy 2.0.0 is the first major release since 2006. It is the
+result of 11 months of development since the last feature release and is the
+work of 212 contributors spread over 1078 pull requests. It contains a large
+number of exciting new features as well as changes to both the Python and C
+APIs.  It includes breaking changes that could not happen in a regular minor
+release - including an ABI break, changes to type promotion rules, and API
+changes which may not have been emitting deprecation warnings in 1.26.x. Key
+documents related to how to adapt to changes in NumPy 2.0 include:
+
+- The [NumPy 2.0 migration guide](https://numpy.org/devdocs/numpy_2_0_migration_guide.html)
+- The [2.0.0 release notes](https://numpy.org/devdocs/release/2.0.0-notes.html)
+- Announcement issue for status updates: [numpy#24300](https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/24300)
+
+The blog post ["NumPy 2.0: an evolutionary milestone"](https://blog.scientific-python.org/numpy/numpy2/)
+tells a bit of the story about how this release came together.
