As written before, doesn't ctypes become a sphinx link to the python docs? @mattip?
Ok with not linking dtype, that's pretty obvious to anyone who knows enough about numpy to read the release notes.

I'm also curious about the automatic linking, when it works and when it doesn't. IIRC NumPy links require the full numpy., but also seem to recall that that may have been fixed. Not sure how the links work for Python documentation. @mattip Thoughts?

There's normally a currentmodule set, and everything in that module and higher-level modules can be found. So say you're in linalg, then svd gets resolved, linspace as well, but randint needs to be referred to as random.randint. For release notes no currentmodule may be set, so then you'll need the full numpy.xxx. For Python the builtins should be resolved, anything in a stdlib module needs full import path

What does a full python import path look like?

As before, did these not create links?
- Update mailmap. - Edit release notes. - Create changelog. [ci skip]

I'm going to put this in. The link questions need answering, but that can be done later. |
Preliminary work preparing for the 1.17 release. Review of the release notes would be much appreciated. The changelog will be updated before release.
