+==========================
+NumPy 1.18.4 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+This is that last planned release in the 1.18.x series. It reverts the
+``bool("0")`` behavior introduced in 1.18.3 and fixes a bug in
+``Generator.integers``. There is also improved help in the error message
+emitted when numpy import fails due to a link to a new troubleshooting section
+in the documentation that is now included.
+
+The Python versions supported in this release are 3.5-3.8. Downstream
+developers should use Cython >= 0.29.15 for Python 3.8 support and OpenBLAS >=
+3.7 to avoid errors on the Skylake architecture.
