Description

@pllim

Would be nice to have automated notice to implement what was laid out in APE 18 so we do not suddenly realize we have to do it and then drop a few old numpy versions all at once.

APE 18: https://github.com/astropy/astropy-APEs/blob/main/APE18.rst

tl;dr

Astropy core will support:

  • All minor versions of Python released 42 months prior to a non-bugfix, and at minimum the two latest minor versions.
  • All minor versions of numpy released in the 24 months prior to a non-bugfix, and at minimum the last three minor versions.
  • Versions of other runtime dependencies released 24 months prior to a non-bugfix release.
