[ANN] Numba 0.62.0rc1 / llvmlite 0.45.0rc1

Announcements

Dear all,

I am exhilarated to announce the availability of fresh release candidates for both
Numba and llvmlite. Please see the release notes for highlights of the release.

Please note the special installation instructions for Linux wheels (linux-64 and linux-aarch64), this was caused by a last-minute build failure and we could only make them available on anaconda.org and not PyPi.org. We will ensure to have wheels on PyPi for the final release for those platforms though, no danger.

As usual, llvmlite is a dependency of Numba, so if you installed Numba as above you do not also need to install llvmlite.

Please do test the release with any software you maintain that depends on Numba
and drop your results in the thread below or open a ticket on the tracker.

A big thank you to all of our contributors – listed on the release notes of
each project – it’s always lovely to see so many people come together to shape
a piece of software! Thank you so much!

All tests are passing for NuCS. No performance improvement … Is it expected ?

In general there was an expectation of LLVM 20 potentially bringing in performance improvements. But this was always a “maybe, but we need to see what really happens”. Looks like there was no performance improvement for your use-case, perhaps?

All tests pass for numbox.
