[Bug]: simplejpeg Incompatibility with numpy Version >= 2.0.0

[abhiTronix]

Description

The backend simplejpeg library used in our WebGear and NetGear APIs primarily for frame compression, is not compatible with the newer versions of numpy (>= 2.0.0). The recent changes in numpy have introduced modifications that cause issues with the simplejpeg Turbo C API.

Actual behaviour

Currently, importing simplejpeg throws the following error:

>>> import simplejpeg
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Users\Abhishek Thakur\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python310\site-packages\simplejpeg\__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from ._jpeg import encode_jpeg
  File "simplejpeg\\_jpeg.pyx", line 1, in init simplejpeg._jpeg
ValueError: numpy.dtype size changed, may indicate binary incompatibility. Expected 96 from C header, got 88 from PyObject

Steps to reproduce

• Install numpy>=2.0.0 and simplejpeg
• Call import simplejpeg
