Another big release day! Python 3.13.1 and 3.12.8
were regularly scheduled releases, but they do contain a few security
fixes. That makes it a nice time to release the security-fix-only
versions too, so everything is as secure as we can make it.
Python 3.13.1
Python 3.13’s first maintenance release. My child is all growed up
now, I guess! Almost 400 bugfixes, build improvements and documentation
changes went in since 3.13.0, making this the very best Python release
to date.

Python 3.12.8
Python 3.12 might be slowly reaching middle age, but still received
over 250 bugfixes, build improvements and documentation changes since
3.12.7.
Python 3.11.11
I know it’s probably hard to hear, but this is the second
security-only release of Python 3.11. Yes, really! Oh yes, I know, I
know, but it’s true! Only 11 commits went in since 3.11.10.
Python 3.10.16
Python 3.10 received a total of 14 commits since 3.10.15. Why more
than 3.11? Because it needed a little bit of extra attention to keep
working with current GitHub practices, I guess.
Python 3.9.21
Python 3.9 isn’t quite ready for pasture yet, as it’s set to receive
security fixes for at least another 10 months. Very similarly to 3.10,
it received 14 commits since 3.9.20.
Stay safe and upgrade!
As always, upgrading is highly recommended to all users of affected versions.
Enjoy the new releases
