We have the Security Developer in Residence @sethmlarson <https://discuss.python.org/u/sethmlarson> to thank for that! It’s a big deal since public builds allow for easier auditing and repeatability. It also helps with the so-called bus factor. In fact, to test this out, this build of 3.10.14 was triggered by me and not Pablo, who would usually release Python 3.10. The artifacts are later still signed by the respective release manager, ensuring integrity when put on the downloads server. <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-10-14-3-9-19-and-3-8-19-is-now-availa…>Python now manages its own CVEs The security releases you’re looking at are the first after the PSF became a CVE Numbering Authority <https://www.cve.org/Media/News/item/news/2023/08/29/Python-Software-Foundat…>. That’s also thanks to @sethmlarson <https://discuss.python.org/u/sethmlarson>. What being our own CNA allows us to ensure the quality of the vulnerability reports is high, and the severity estimate is accurate. Seth summarized it best in his announcement here <https://discuss.python.org/t/the-python-software-foundation-has-been-author…>. What this also allows us to do is to combine announcement of CVEs with the release of patched versions of Python. This is in fact the case with two of the CVEs listed above (CVE-2023-6597 <https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-6597> and CVE-2024-0450 <https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-0450>). And since Seth is now traveling, this announcement duty was fulfilled by the PSF’s Director of Infrastructure @EWDurbin <https://discuss.python.org/u/ewdurbin>. Thanks! I’m happy to see us successfully testing bus factor resilience on multiple fronts with this round of releases. <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-10-14-3-9-19-and-3-8-19-is-now-availa…>Thank you for your support Thanks to all of the many volunteers who help make Python Development and these releases possible!

SCons 4.7.0 Release
by Bill Deegan 18 Mar '24

18 Mar '24

A new SCons release, 4.7.0, is now available on the SCons download page: https://scons.org/pages/download.html Here is a summary of the changes since 4.6.0: NEW FUNCTIONALITY ----------------- - Method unlink_files was added to the TestCmd class that unlinks a list of files from a specified directory. An attempt to unlink a file is made only when the file exists; otherwise, the file is ignored. CHANGED/ENHANCED EXISTING FUNCTIONALITY --------------------------------------- - Add an optional argument list string to configure's CheckFunc method so that the generated function argument list matches the function's prototype when including a header file. Fixes GH Issue #4320 - Now supports pre-release Python 3.13 - Support for Python versions without support for the `threading` package has been removed - Dropped three unused warning classes: DeprecatedSourceCodeWarning, TaskmasterNeedsExecuteWarning, DeprecatedMissingSConscriptWarning. * Two warning classes that are actually used were added to manpage section on enabling warnings (cache-cleanup-error, future-reserved-variable). FIXES ----- - Fix of the --debug=sconscript option to return exist statements when using return statement with stop flag enabled - MSVS: prevent overwriting the SCons environment variable SCONS_HOME with the OS environment value of SCONS_HOME in the msvs tool. - MSVC: Fix the detection of Visual Studio 2015 Express ('14.0Exp') by adding a registry key definition and updating the installation root-relative registry value at runtime for the location of the VC folder. - MSVS: Fix the msvs project generation test for MSVS 6.0 to use the correct name of the generated project file. - MSVS: Fix the msvs project generation test scripts so that "false positive" tests results are not possible when the initial build is successful and the command-line build of the project file fails. - On Windows platform, when collecting command output (Configure checks), make sure decoding of bytes doesn't fail. - Documentation indicated that both Pseudo() and env.Pseudo() were usable, but Pseudo() did not work; is now enabled. - Improve handling of file data that SCons itself processes - as in scanners - try harder to decode non-UTF-8 text. - PyPackageDir no longer fails if passed a module name which cannot be found, now returns None. - Add locking around creation of CacheDir config file. Fixes issue #4489. IMPROVEMENTS ------------ - Use of NotImplemented instead of NotImplementedError for special methods of _ListVariable class - The NewParallel scheduler is now the default, the `tm_v2` flag is removed, and the old scheduler is opt-in under `--experimental=legacy_sched`. Additionally, the new scheduler is now used for -j1 builds as well. NOTE: This should significantly improve SCons performance for larger parallel builds (Larger -j values) - CacheDir writes no longer happen within the taskmaster critical section, and therefore can run in parallel with both other CacheDir writes and the taskmaster DAG walk. - The NewParallel scheduler now only adds threads as new work requiring execution is discovered, up to the limit set by -j. This should reduce resource utilization when the achievable parallelism in the DAG is less than the -j limit. - Dumping an environment with `json` formatting will now explicitly specify if a given value cannot be serialized. PACKAGING --------- - Remove unnecessary dependencies on pypi packages from setup.cfg - SCons documentation build can now be controlled through SKIP_DOC variable - rather than just true/false can now specify skip none, skip all, skip pdf docs, skip api docs. DOCUMENTATION ------------- - Fixed the Scanner examples in the User Guide to be runnable and added some more explanation. Clarified discussion of the scanner function in the Scanner Objects section of the manpage. - The manpage entry for Pseudo was clarified. - The manpage entry for SharedLibrary was clarified. - Update API docs for Warnings framework; add two warns to manpage enable/disable control. - More consistent use of &Python; in the manpage. A few links added. A warning about overwriting env['ENV'] and one about Configure checks possibly not running in in no-exec mode also added. - Clarify how SCons finds the project top directory, and what that is used for. - Clarify MergeFlags usage of a dict argument. DEVELOPMENT ----------- - Fix sphinx config to handle SCons versions with post such as: 4.6.0.post1 - Created SCons.Util.sctyping to contain complex type information, allowing for repo-wide type hinting without causing cyclical dependencies. Thanks to the following contributors listed below for their contributions to this release. ========================================================================================== .. code-block:: text git shortlog --no-merges -ns 4.6.0..HEAD 26 Andrew Morrow 24 Mats Wichmann 14 William Deegan 7 Joseph Brill 6 StenGruener 3 Prabhu S.

[RELEASE] Python 3.13.0a5 is now available
by Thomas Wouters 13 Mar '24

13 Mar '24

We’re getting closer and closer… Alpha 5 is here. https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3130a5/ *This is an early developer preview of Python 3.13* Major new features of the 3.13 series, compared to 3.12 Python 3.13 is still in development. This release, 3.13.0a5, is the fifth of six planned alpha releases. Alpha releases are intended to make it easier to test the current state of new features and bug fixes and to test the release process. During the alpha phase, features may be added up until the start of the beta phase (2024-05-07) and, if necessary, may be modified or deleted up until the release candidate phase (2024-07-30). Please keep in mind that this is a preview release and its use is *not* recommended for production environments. Many new features for Python 3.13 are still being planned and written. Work continues apace on both the work to remove the Global Interpeter Lock <https://peps.python.org/pep-0703/>, and to improve Python performance. The most notable changes so far: - In the interactive interpreter, exception tracebacks are now colorized by default <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#improved-error-messages>. - A preliminary, *experimental* JIT was added <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#experimental-jit-compiler>, providing the ground work for significant performance improvements. - Docstrings now have their leading indentation stripped <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#other-language-changes>, reducing memory use and the size of .pyc files. (Most tools handling docstrings already strip leading indentation.) - The dbm module <https://docs.python.org/dev/library/dbm.html> has a new dbm.sqlite3 backend <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#id1> that is used by default when creating new files. - PEP 594 (Removing dead batteries from the standard library) <https://peps.python.org/pep-0594/> scheduled removals of many deprecated modules: aifc, audioop, chunk, cgi, cgitb, crypt, imghdr, mailcap, msilib, nis, nntplib, ossaudiodev, pipes, sndhdr, spwd, sunau, telnetlib, uu, xdrlib, lib2to3. - Many other removals <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#removed> of deprecated classes, functions and methods in various standard library modules. - New deprecations <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#deprecated>, most of which are scheduled for removal from Python 3.15 or 3.16. - C API removals <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#id10> and deprecations <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#id9>. (Some removals present in alpha 1 have been reverted in alpha 2, as the removals were deemed too disruptive at this time.) (Hey, *fellow core developer,* if a feature you find important is missing from this list, let Thomas know <thomas(a)python.org>.) The next pre-release of Python 3.13 will be 3.13.0a6, currently scheduled for 2024-04-09. <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-0-alpha-5/48341#more-resources-2>More resources - Online Documentation <https://docs.python.org/3.13/> - PEP 719 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0719/>, 3.13 Release Schedule - Report bugs at Issues · python/cpython · GitHub <https://github.com/python/cpython/issues>. - Help fund Python directly <https://www.python.org/psf/donations/python-dev/> (or via GitHub Sponsors <https://github.com/sponsors/python>), and support the Python community <https://www.python.org/psf/donations/>. <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-0-alpha-5/48341#enjoy-the-new-rele…>Enjoy the new releases Thanks to all of the many volunteers who help make Python Development and these releases possible!
