- update to version 0.42.0:
  * In this release the major features are:
    + The capability to launch and attach the GDB debugger from within
      a jitted function.
    + The upgrading of LLVM to version 7.0.0.

    + #3531. Dimitri Vorona enabled the inlining of jitclass methods.
    + #3516. Simon Perkins added the support for passing numpy dtypes
       (i.e.  "np.dtype("int32")") and their type constructor
       (i.e. "np.int32") into a jitted function.
    + #3509. Rob Ennis added support for "np.corrcoef".

- update to version 0.39.0:
  * Here are the highlights for the Numba 0.39.0 release.
    + This is the first version that supports Python 3.7.
    + With help from Intel, we have fixed the issues with SVML support
      (related issues #2938, #2998, #3006).
    + List has gained support for containing reference-counted types
      like NumPy arrays and `list`.  Note, list still cannot hold
      heterogeneous types.
    + We have made a significant change to the internal
      calling-convention, which should be transparent to most users,
      to allow for a future feature that will permitting jumping back
      into python-mode from a nopython-mode function.  This also fixes
      a limitation to `print` that disabled its use from nopython
      functions that were deep in the call-stack.
    + For CUDA GPU support, we added a `__cuda_array_interface__`
      following the NumPy array interface specification to allow Numba
      to consume externally defined device arrays.  We have opened a
      corresponding pull request to CuPy to test out the concept and
      be able to use a CuPy GPU array.
    + The Numba dispatcher `inspect_types()` method now supports the
      kwarg `pretty` which if set to `True` will produce ANSI/HTML
      output, showing the annotated types, when invoked from
      ipython/jupyter-notebook respectively.
    + The NumPy functions `ndarray.dot`, `np.percentile` and
      `np.nanpercentile`, and `np.unique` are now supported.
    + Numba now supports the use of a per-project configuration file
      to permanently set behaviours typically set via `NUMBA_*` family
      environment variables.
    + Support for the `ppc64le` architecture has been added.
  * Enhancements:
    + PR #2793: Simplify and remove javascript from html_annotate
      templates.

- update to version 0.38.1:
  This is a critical bug fix release addressing:
  https://github.com/numba/numba/issues/3006

  The bug does not impact users using conda packages from Anaconda or Intel Python
  Distribution (but it does impact conda-forge). It does not impact users of pip
  using wheels from PyPI.

  This only impacts a small number of users where:

   * The ICC runtime (specifically libsvml) is present in the user's environment.
   * The user is using an llvmlite statically linked against a version of LLVM
     that has not been patched with SVML support.
   * The platform is 64-bit.

  The release fixes a code generation path that could lead to the production of
  incorrect results under the above situation.

  Fixes:
  * PR #3007: Augment SVML detection with llvmlite SVML patch
    detection.

- update to version 0.38.0:
  * highlights:
    + Numba (via llvmlite) is now backed by LLVM 6.0, general
      vectorization is improved as a result. A significant long
      standing LLVM bug that was causing corruption was also found and
      fixed.
    + Further considerable improvements in vectorization are made
      available as Numba now supports Intel's short vector math
      library (SVML).  Try it out with `conda install -c numba
      icc_rt`.
    + CUDA 8.0 is now the minimum supported CUDA version.
  * Other highlights include:
    + Bug fixes to `parallel=True` have enabled more vectorization
      opportunities when using the ParallelAccelerator technology.
    + Much effort has gone into improving error reporting and the
      general usability of Numba. This includes highlighted error
      messages and performance tips documentation. Try it out with
      `conda install colorama`.
    + A number of new NumPy functions are supported, `np.convolve`,
      `np.correlate` `np.reshape`, `np.transpose`, `np.permutation`,
      `np.real`, `np.imag`, and `np.searchsorted` now supports
      the`side` kwarg. Further, `np.argsort` now supports the `kind`
      kwarg with `quicksort` and `mergesort` available.
    + The Numba extension API has gained the ability operate more
      easily with functions from Cython modules through the use of
      `numba.extending.get_cython_function_address` to obtain function
      addresses for direct use in `ctypes.CFUNCTYPE`.
    + Numba now allows the passing of jitted functions (and containers
      of jitted functions) as arguments to other jitted functions.
    + The CUDA functionality has gained support for a larger selection
      of bit manipulation intrinsics, also SELP, and has had a number
      of bugs fixed.
    + Initial work to support the PPC64LE platform has been added,
      full support is however waiting on the LLVM 6.0.1 release as it
      contains critical patches not present in 6.0.0.  It is hoped
      that any remaining issues will be fixed in the next release.
    + The capacity for advanced users/compiler engineers to define
      their own compilation pipelines.
