Deprecation notice for NumPy 2.0
--------------------------------

**This package is deprecated.**

Until NumPy 1.25.0 this package was needed to be able to target the
oldest supported NumPy version for packages using the NumPy C API.
That targeting was necessary in order to obtain wheel for distribution
on PyPI. However, a new "C API exporting" feature in NumPy 1.25.0 made
that unnecessary. And with NumPy 2.0, it is now actually necessary
to use >=2.0 at build time for packages that want to support both
NumPy 1.xx and 2.0.

All users should migrate to expressing a build dependency on ``numpy``
directly, according to the guidance given in
`Adding a dependency on NumPy <https://numpy.org/devdocs/dev/depending_on_numpy.html#adding-a-dependency-on-numpy>`__.
