>
> Beta releases are intended to give the wider community the opportunity
> to test new features and bug fixes and to prepare their projects to
> support the new feature release. We strongly encourage maintainers of
> third-party Python projects to test with 3.6 during the beta phase and
> report issues found to bugs.python.org as soon as possible. While the
> release is feature complete entering the beta phase, it is possible that
> features may be modified or, in rare cases, deleted up until the start
> of the release candidate phase (2016-12-05). Our goal is have no changes
> after rc1. To achieve that, it will be extremely important to get as
> much exposure for 3.6 as possible during the beta phase. Please keep in
> mind that this is a preview release and its use is not recommended for
> production environments
>
> The next planned release of Python 3.6 will be 3.6.0b2, currently
> scheduled for 2016-10-03. More information about the release schedule
