+The random.Generator class has a new ``permuted`` function.
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+The new function differs from ``shuffle`` and ``permutation`` in that the
+subarrays indexed by an axis are permuted rather than the axis being treated as
+a separate 1-D array for every combination of the other indexes. For example,
+it is now possible to permute the rows or columns of a 2-D array.

+The ``operator.concat`` function now raises TypeError for array arguments
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The previous behavior was to fall back to addition and add the two arrays,
+which was thought to be unexpected behavior for a concatenation function.

+New``__f2py_numpy_version__`` attribute for f2py generated modules.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+Because f2py is released together with NumPy, ``__f2py_numpy_version__``
+provides a way to track the version f2py used to generate the module.

+``mypy`` tests can be run via runtests.py
+-----------------------------------------
+Currently running mypy with the NumPy stubs configured requires
+either:
+
+* Installing NumPy
+* Adding the source directory to MYPYPATH and linking to the mypy.ini
+
+Both options are somewhat inconvenient, so add a ``--mypy`` option to runtests
+that handles setting things up for you. This will also be useful in the future
+for any typing codegen since it will ensure the project is built before type
+checking.

+Make the window functions exactly symmetric
+-------------------------------------------
+Make sure the window functions provided by NumPy are symmetric. There were
+previously small deviations from symmetry due to numerical precision that are
+now avoided by better arrangement of the computation.
