+==========================
+NumPy 1.15.1 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+This is a bugfix release for bugs and regressions reported following the 1.15.0
+release.
+
+* The annoying but harmless RuntimeWarning that "numpy.dtype size changed" has
+  been suppressed. The long standing suppression was lost in the transition to
+  pytest.
+* The update to Cython 0.28.3 exposed a problematic use of a gcc attribute used
+  to prefer code size over speed in module initialization, possibly resulting in
+  incorrect compiled code. This has been fixed in latest Cython but has been
+  disabled here for safety.
+* Support for big-endian and ARMv8 architectures has been improved.
+
+The Python versions supported by this release are 2.7, 3.4-3.7. The wheels are
+linked with OpenBLAS v0.3.0, which should fix some of the linalg problems
+reported for NumPy 1.14.
+
+
+Compatibility Note
+==================
+
+The NumPy 1.15.x OS X wheels released on PyPI no longer contain 32-bit
+binaries.  That will also be the case in future releases. See
+`#11625 <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/11625>`__ for the related
+discussion.  Those needing 32-bit support should look elsewhere or build
+from source.
+

+names contributed a patch for the first time.
