 NumPy 1.23.4 Release Notes
 ==========================
 NumPy 1.23.4 is a maintenance release that fixes bugs discovered after the
-1.23.3 release. There is no major theme for this release, the main improvements
-are for some downstream builds and some annotation corner cases. The Python
-versions supported for this release are 3.8-3.11.
+1.23.3 release and keeps the build infrastructure current. The main
+improvements are fixes for some annotation corner cases, a fix for a long time
+``nested_iters`` memory leak, and a fix of complex vector dot for very large
+arrays. The Python versions supported for this release are 3.8-3.11.
 
-Note that we have moved to MacOS 11 for the NumPy 1.23.4 MacOS wheels, the 10.15
-version previously used is no longer be supported by our build infrastructure.
+Note that the mypy version needs to be 0.981+ if you test using Python 3.10.7,
+otherwise the typing tests will fail.
