Numpy 2.0 API compatibility issue

[bernardbeckerman]

Heads-up that TB nightly builds are failing (pointer) due to the numpy 2.0 release (post). They've published a migration guide (link) which should hopefully make things simple to fix. Please let me know if this is something you're already looking into, or if it would be helpful for me to contribute a fix. Thanks!

Hi @bernardbeckerman,

Thanks so much for bringing up this issue and providing the pointer! Are you still interested in contributing to our repo? Please feel free to send us a PR :) Otherwise I can look into it.

Yep, seeing this issue.

@yatbear Can we get an update on this issue? Would love to remove the hacky fixes put in place to ensure our tests (using tensorboard) can pass.

Thanks for the links. PR #6871 should be the fix. If all is well tomorrow will have a new working nightly build release. If it does not build I will reopen this issue.

Hi there, thanks so much for the fix! Is there a plan to cut a new release so that this change makes it into latest?
