SciPy 1.7.2 Release Notes#

SciPy 1.7.2 is a bug-fix release with no new features compared to 1.7.1. Notably, the release includes wheels for Python 3.10, and wheels are now built with a newer version of OpenBLAS, 0.3.17. Python 3.10 wheels are provided for MacOS x86_64 (thin, not universal2 or arm64 at this time), and Windows/Linux 64-bit. Many wheels are now built with newer versions of manylinux, which may require newer versions of pip.
