+### Season of Docs acceptance
+
+_May 11, 2020_ -- NumPy got accepted as one of the mentor organizations for
+Google's Season of Docs program. We are excited to again get the opportunity to
+work with a technical writer to improve NumPy's documentation! For more
+details, please see
+[the official Season of Docs site](https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/) and our
+[ideas page](https://github.com/numpy/numpy/wiki/Google-Season-of-Docs-2020-Project-Ideas).
+
+
+### NumPy 1.18.0 release
+
+_Dec 22, 2019_ -- NumPy 1.18.0 is now available. After the major changes in
+1.17.0, this is a consolidation release. It is the last minor release that will
+support Python 3.5. Highlights of the release includes the addition of basic
+infrastructure for linking with 64-bit BLAS and LAPACK libraries, and a new C-API for ``numpy.random``.
+
+Please see the [release notes](https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v1.18.0) for more details.

+### NumPy receives a grant from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative
+
+_Nov 15, 2019_ -- We are very pleased to announce that NumPy and OpenBLAS have received a joint grant for $195,000 from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
+
+This grant is for high-level documentation, website development and graphic design, governance activities and community building for NumPy, and for technical work on OpenBLAS (which is one of NumPy's key dependencies). [This blog post](https://labs.quansight.org/blog/2019/11/numpy-openblas-CZI-grant/) describes what this grant will be about and provides some background on the grant program. The full proposal is published [here](https://figshare.com/articles/Proposal_NumPy_OpenBLAS_for_Chan_Zuckerberg_Initiative_EOSS_2019_round_1/10302167). The program managers wrote a blog post titled [The Invisible Foundations of Biomedicine](https://medium.com/@cziscience/the-invisible-foundations-of-biomedicine-4ab7f8d4f5dd) about the whole program which is also well worth reading.
+
+We're looking forward to what we'll be able to do with this grant. The work is planned to start quite soon, Dec 1st, and run for one year.
+
+

+Here is a list of NumPy releases, with links to release notes. All bugfix
+releases (only the `z` changes in the `x.y.z` version number) have no new
+features; minor releases (the `y` increases) do.
