Hi all, We have tagged Numba 0.52.0rc1 and llvmlite 0.35.0rc1. Their change logs are at: - numba: [https://github.com/numba/numba/blob/release0.52/CHANGE\_LOG](https://github.com/numba/numba/blob/release0.52/CHANGE_LOG) - llvmlite: [https://github.com/numba/llvmlite/blob/release0.35/CHANGE\_LOG](https://github.com/numba/llvmlite/blob/release0.35/CHANGE_LOG) Unfortunately, we have already discovered a few minor issues, details at [https://github.com/numba/numba/issues/6371](https://github.com/numba/numba/issues/6371). We are planning to quickly release a RC2 build next week. After that, we will invite the boarder community to test. As mentioned before in our public meeting, we are switching to a longer RC period so that downstream projects have enough time to help us verify and test for regressions. ---

RC2 was tagged very recently and the builds are slowly coming out of the farm (there’s often tens of test combinations for each package, it takes a while), once done they’ll be announced here. Most of the conda packages are done already: - Numba: [https://anaconda.org/numba/numba/files?version=0.52.0rc2](https://anaconda.org/numba/numba/files?version=0.52.0rc2) - llvmlite: [https://anaconda.org/numba/llvmlite/files?version=0.35.0rc2](https://anaconda.org/numba/llvmlite/files?version=0.35.0rc2) these get built first as they provide an easy mechanism to test the numerous combinations of Python x NumPy x features. ---

The farm is done with all the builds. The conda packages are available in the `numba` channel; e.g. `conda install -c numba=0.52.0rc2`. Pip packages are available at [https://pypi.org/project/llvmlite/0.35.0rc2/](https://pypi.org/project/llvmlite/0.35.0rc2/) and [https://pypi.org/project/numba/0.52.0rc2/](https://pypi.org/project/numba/0.52.0rc2/). Please help us test these packages and report any issues at our issue trackers. ---
