# Version 0.65.0 (31 March 2026)

This is a major Numba release. Numba now adds support for Python 3.14t free-threading build.

Please note that the Intel SVML library remains unsupported as of this release. This loss of support was first noted in Numba 0.62.0 and was caused by the SVML patch not applying cleanly to the LLVM 20 code base when upgrading llvmlite. The impact is a loss of performance in cases where SVML would previously have been used. This will be addressed in a future release.

Please find a summary of all noteworthy items below.

## Bug Fixes

### Add support for `None` indexing

Support `a[None]` indexing, including for 0d arrays. This fixes a `NotImplementedError` when lowering `None` indexing.

(PR-#10426)

### Fix scalar handling in `np.mean`

Fix scalar handling in `np.mean`. Previously, this function would fail when called with scalar inputs. Now it properly handles both scalar and array inputs.

(PR-#10428)

### Fix scalar handling in `np.min` and `np.max`

Fix scalar handling in `np.min` and `np.max` functions. Previously, these functions would fail when called with scalar inputs. They now properly handle both scalar and array inputs, returning the original value when a scalar is provided.

(PR-#10435)

### Fix scalar handling in `np.prod`

Fixed scalar handling in the `np.prod` function. Previously scalar inputs would generate an error, and now both scalar and array inputs are properly handled.

(PR-#10446)
