@ketiltrout Just trying to fix the release system. I solved a few problems, but the wheel build still fails when it's tested... looks like the tests can't import the modules.

Ok, this should be fixed. See https://github.com/kiyo-masui/bitshuffle/actions/runs/11022245770.

The underlying issue with the build is that it was trying to install hdf5 version 1.14.4, but there actually aren't any distributions available - we have to include the patch number, the most recent of which is -3. As a result, hdf5 wasn't getting installed and bitshuffle was failing when trying to import it. In order to fix this, I:

• specified hdf5 version 1.14.4-3 in the workflow
• modified install_hdf5.sh to handle a patch version

I also had to add a minimum python_requires to setup.py. cibuildwheel uses this to decide which version to build on, and in the absence of any specification it seemed to be falling back to python 3.6.

Finally, I updated the build requirements to support numpy 2.0. According to numpy 2.0 dependency docs, wheels built against numpy 2.x will be compatible with numpy 1.xx. numpy 2.0.0rc1 is the first numpy 2 release candidate, so building against that (at minimum) should still support numpy 1.xx. I also updated the minimum supported numpy to 1.24, based on the numpy drop schedule.

Wow - thank you! I struggled with this for a few hours but no way I would have figured this out!
