On Windows 10, this is an 'unrecognized app' and Windows Defender SmartScreen, now default, refuses to run it. "Windows protected your PC" until one clicks 'more info' to get 'Run anyway'. This is new since the .rc1 release. We should either make 2.7 a 'known' app* or say something on the download page about clicking 'more info'. I don't know the status of python.org 3.x downloads. Since Steve Dower put 3.7 on the Windows store, PSF must now be a known publisher. Perhaps he can help make 2.7 'known'. -- Terry Jan Reedy

SmartScreen should recognize it now that it's been downloaded a few times without reporting, but the real problem is that it hasn't been signed properly. (I don't have any validation set up for Python 2 on this.) I'll try and sign the version on my build machine by hand and upload it again this week, and maybe add a validation step to interrupt the upload if it's not signed, but anything Python 2 is a very low priority for me (sorry Benjamin :) ). Cheers, Steve

The only change since the release candidate was a fix for the IDLE icon on macOS. See https://bugs.python.org/issue32129. Refer to the changelog for a full list of changes: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python/cpython/v2.7.16/Misc/NEWS.d/2.7.16r...
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2716/ links changelog to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python/cpython/v2.7.16/Misc/NEWS.d/2.7.16.... but that only has 1 change (I suppose against rc1). Is there a better link, or should I read those two combined? https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python/cpython/v2.7.16/Misc/NEWS.d/2.7.16r... https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python/cpython/v2.7.16/Misc/NEWS.d/2.7.16.... -- Miro Hrončok -- Phone: +420777974800 IRC: mhroncok
