## Discussion

* https://github.com/numba/llvmlite/pull/1098 - bugfix
* llvmlite / Numba RC status
* when to "retire" expired deprecation notices
* Keep deprecation notice for version of release and one subsequent release
* Remove deprecation notices for releases more than 1 release back.
* e.g. generated_jit removed in 0.59, delete deprecation notice in 0.61 docs
* Hows opaque pointers + numba looking ?
* Generally works well - Numba test suite passes
* CUDA target is one issue, requires NVPTX support
* WIP, getting to 100% test coverage
* Going into Numba and numba-cuda
* Other issue is test suite - some subprocess tests using typed pointers
* Need to troubleshoot this, not looked far into yet
* conda-forge llvmlite RC: https://github.com/conda-forge/llvmlite-feedstock/pull/95
* All builds succeeded, apart from Python 3.9 ones (which should be removed)
