> "There are also a large number of new and expired deprecations due to changes in promotion and cleanups. This might be called a deprecation release."

The release notes themselves describe what the deprecations are but do not speak much to the reasons that are driving them in the overall lifecycle of this software.

Would anyone kindly shed some light on the intentions behind these deprecations?

How do people usually pronounce numpy? num-pee or num-pie?

I use "num-pee". It seems like the "correct" English pronunciation because of words like these: https://www.thefreedictionary.com/words-that-end-in-py

However, it does not surprise/bother me if someone goes for "num-pie".

I mean the Py comes from python where it certainly sounds more like pie.

The real question then is: How would the file ending .py be pronounced?

Considering the capital P in NumPy, I've come to assume that the Py is meant to be pronounced as in Python, thus "num-pie"

Has anyone noticed numpy running slower on Windows vs. Linux given the same hardware? I would have expected similar performance, but it seems like on my setup the same python runs about 20-30% faster on linux, all other things being equal.
