Thanks Joe! 🙏

Looks good

Was trying to look in the CI logs to see where NumPy gets installed, but was having trouble seeing it. Do you know where this happens? Is that info just getting swallowed somewhere?

[jhamman]

@jakirkham - your comment uncovered something in our new CI setup. We weren't passing the numpy version to the list of dependencies. That is fixed in this PR now.

Note: the test failures are in the v2 code path.

@maxrjones - could you take a look here and tell us if the features / version part of the matrix envs are getting picked up correctly?

[jhamman]

this is used in the test github action

this was what we were missing. Eeek!

Sounds like a productive exercise then 🙂

Thanks Joe! 🙏

The only dependency that is different between minimal and optional is lmdb which is also included in the extra-dependencies for the tests env, meaning the features part of the matrix is not currently doing anything. If you're willing to clarify which deps should be including in only optional I can fix that part of the setup.

Looking good. Thanks Joe! 🙏

Can see NumPy 2.0.0rc1 getting installed and CI passing 🎉
