New numpy release not compatible with python-javabridge

[Andaukmoan]

There was a new release of numpy (version 2.0) last month that I think is not compatible with python-javabridge. As far as I can tell, the only version requirement check in CPA for numpy is "numpy>=1.20.1". This prevents the proper installation of python-javabridge when building CPA from source unless the numpy version is specified as less than 2.0 (">=1.20.1,<=1.26.4"). Would there be a way to include this in the documentation or update python-javabridge to be comptabile with numpy 2.0? I should note this is when building CPA in python 3.9 to be compatible with the sklearn version used by the development version of cellprofiler. I don't know if python 3.8 has the same issue.

CPA install from source on Mac via pip fails with an error indicating a numpy version issue, presumably the same problem described in this bug report. This is with python 3.8, so not specific to 3.9.

Because the prebuilt Mac binaries crash as reported (issue #326), CPA is currently dead in the water on Mac.
