  • Dropped support for Python 2.7
  • Synchronized with the randomgen merges into NumPy 1.17 and their fixes coming in 1.18
  • Added support for SeedSequence (and NumPy’s SeedSequence).
  • The .generator method of the bit generators raise NotImplementedError
  • The internal structures that is used in C have been renamed. The main rename is brng_t to bitgen_t
  • Rename RandomGenerator to Generator.
  • Rename randint() to integers().
  • Rename random_integers() to integers().
  • Rename random_sample() to random().
  • Change jump which operated in-place to jumped() which returns a new BitGenerator.
  • Rename Basic RNG to bit generator, which has been consistently applied across the docs and references
  • Add the integer-based SIMD-based Fast Mersenne Twister (SFMT) generator SFMT.
  • Add the 64-bit Mersenne Twister (MT64) generator MT64.
