+- update to version 2.7.3:
+  * Pinned Numpy versions to minimum supported version in an effort to
+    alleviate issues seen in Windows machines not having the same MSVC
+    runtime installed as was used to build the wheels.
+  * ARMv8 wheels are now available, thanks to odidev for the pull
+    request.
