Larry Hastings and Ned Deily told me that Larry is releasing Python 3.5 alpha 3. You can see their repository at: https://hg.python.org/releasing/3.5/ According to the PEP 478 - Python 3.5 Release Schedule, we are in time: 3.5.0 alpha 3: March 29, 2015 Maybe Misc/NEWS was not updated when the alpha 2 was released? It's always a mess to maintain this file... We should generate it from Mercurial changelogs instead. So is it correct to use "alpha 4" in Misc/NEWS? Victor

It's the release manager's responsibility to update the version number in Misc/NEWS. As I finish up 3.5.0a3, I will be changing it to say "What's New in Python 3.5.0 alpha 4?". And I will change the release number in patchlevel.h to say "3.5.0a3+". I don't know why it is this way, but that's the way it is, and I assume there's a good reason for it. Since you don't have the 3.5.0a3 changes yet, no, it's not correct for you to put "alpha 4" into Misc/NEWS. Doing so would trip me up a little. The release process is mostly automated, although there are manual steps where the RM is guided through the process. Fixing up the heading in Misc/NEWS is one such manual step. FWIW, I have in the past bungled a release so badly that I missed making this change. I was happy to discover someone else had fixed it for me. So I'm not saying "nobody but the RM should ever touch it". But maybe you should wait a day or two after the release comes out before you start up your text editor. Cheers, //arry/
