@AlexanderKalistratov, I've just updated to current master and pinned numba==0.54.0 in all files. Hopefully when it's released all checks should pass - they did locally when I checked with 0.54.0rc3, e.g.

FAILED sdc/tests/test_basic.py::TestBasic::test_assert - numba.core.errors.TypingError: Failed in nopython mode pipeline (step: nopython frontend)
=================================================== 1 failed, 1257 passed, 477 skipped, 32 xfailed in 290.32s (0:04:50) ====================================================

(and test_assert really passes and fails only when l run it's via pytest -n).

@AlexanderKalistratov all required checks passed (wheels were deactivated some time ago). Any updates from Numba guys about readiness to publish numba 0.54.0 to conda channel?
