Changelog & Release Notes

​

numpy-ts v1.2.0

• Added float16 dtype support:
  • New half-precision dtype with native Float16Array on modern runtimes (Node 23+, Chrome 127+) and Float32Array fallback on older runtimes. Full NPY round-trip support.
• Complete random module rewrite:
  • Entire np.random module rewritten as Zig-compiled WASM. Now matches NumPy’s random output bit-for-bit for all distributions with both legacy (MT19937) and modern (PCG64) APIs.
  • Random functions are now ~6x faster on average.
• Simplified bundles:
  • Removed CJS bundle. The package is now ESM-only (dist/numpy-ts.node.cjs removed).
  • All 22 file I/O functions now available from import from 'numpy-ts' — works on Node, Bun, and Deno. numpy-ts/node is deprecated (still works as an alias).
  • 2 build outputs (down from 5) — tree-shakeable ESM + browser IIFE
• Performance optimizations across the board - yielding an average 20% speedup.
• Cross-runtime test coverage: all 10,000+ tests now run on Node, Bun, Deno, and Chromium

​

numpy-ts v1.1.0

• Implemented 97 WASM-accelerated operations compiled from Zig with 128-bit SIMD
  • WASM kernels are embedded as base64, synchronously initialized, and individually tree-shakeable
  • Acceleration is fully transparent: same API, same results, no configuration needed
• Generally sped up the entire library by ~8x:
  • Arithmetic: ~23x faster (65x slower than NumPy → 2.75x)
  • Linear Algebra: ~19x faster (61x → 3.2x)
  • Logic: ~27x faster (48x → 1.8x)
  • Manipulation: ~9x faster (15x → 1.6x)
  • Gradient: ~60x faster (30x slower → 2x faster than NumPy)
  • FFT: ~3x faster (22x → 8x)
  • Random: ~6x faster (11x → 1.9x)
  • Indexing: ~5.5x faster (12x → 2.2x)
• Added bracket indexing (arr[i], arr[i][j], arr[i] = val) on all NDArray instances via Proxy
• Added multi-axis reductions: amin, amax, median, all, any, nanmin, nanmax now accept axis: number[]
• Added batched linear algebra: eig, eigh, eigvals, eigvalsh, cholesky, pinv, slogdet, matrix_norm support [..., n, n] batch inputs
• Added unique axis parameter: find unique rows, columns, or slices along any axis
• Added apply_along_axis ND support: now works with arrays of any dimensionality
• Unified slice() implementation: moved from duplicated logic in NDArrayCore/NDArray to a single shapeOps.slice() function, and added sliceKeepDim() for rank-preserving slicing (thanks @BorisTheBrave)
• Revamped benchmark suite to thoroughly test all functions and dtype combinations
• Added WASM Acceleration guide
• Added AI Disclosure page
