+### NumPy 2.0 release date: June 16
+
+_23 May, 2024_ -- We are excited to announce that NumPy 2.0 is planned to be
+released on June 16, 2024. This release has been over a year in the making, and
+is the first major release since 2006. Importantly, in addition to many new
+features and performance improvement, it contains **breaking changes** to the
+ABI as well as the Python and C APIs. It is likely that downstream packages and
+end user code needs to be adapted - if you can, please verify whether your code
+works with NumPy `2.0.0rc2`. **Please see the following for more details:**
