Release new version? (incompatibility with `numpy>=2`)

[kavanase]

I got this traceback when trying to use the latest version of galore:

I think it's related to the numpy version – I'm using 2.3.3. Many computational materials science packages are now based on numpy>=2.

Ah updating to the latest main (unreleased) branch fixes this issue. main hasn't had new commits in over a year -- probably worth releasing a new PyPI version to avoid this?

Yup, I expect the test requirements could do with updating as well!
