Dear community,

Happy to announce that the release candidates Numba 0.61.0rc1 and llvmlite 0.44.0rc1 are out.

You can install both using `conda` with the following command:

```auto
$ conda install -c numba numba=0.61.0rc1

```

or just llvmlite:

```auto
$ conda install -c numba llvmlite=0.44.0rc1

```

Alternatively using `pip` to install from PyPI:

```auto
$ pip install numba==0.61.0rc1

```

or just llvmlite:

```auto
$ pip install llvmlite==0.44.0rc1

```

A small caveat is that due to technical issues llvmlite wheels for osx (both x86\_64 and arm64) need to be installed from [anaconda.org](http://anaconda.org/) and that windows packages are still on their way and so are not immediately available. The team is currently working on a resolution and updates will be posted accordingly.

Also there’s an important announcement regarding the NumPy 2 support for the community: [NumPy 2.x support community update](https://numba.discourse.group/t/numpy-2-x-support-community-update/2815)
