Thanks for this, I also encountered the same issue using a more recent version of numpy and had to implement the same fixes as yours. Hope the authors will merge and release a new version soon such that we do not need to patch the code

Is this change backward compatible with older numpy versions? If not, we should at least update the requirements https://github.com/Open-Science-Tools/nd2reader/blob/master/requirements.txt
