Python 3.13.1, 3.12.8, 3.11.11, 3.10.16 and 3.9.21 are now available

by

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

Thanks to all of the many volunteers who help make Python Development

Using trusted execution environments for advertising use cases

This article is the next in a series of posts we’ll be doing to provide more information on how Anonym’s technology works.  We started with a high level overview, which you can read here. Mozilla acquired Anonym over the summer of 2024, as a key pillar to raise the standards of privacy in the advertising […]

Convert NTFS to Btrfs and boot Windows off Btrfs

by
Ntfs2btrfs is a tool which does in-place conversion of Microsoft’s NTFS filesystem to the open-source filesystem Btrfs, much as btrfs-convert does for ext2. The original image is saved as a reflink copy at image/ntfs.img, and if you want to keep the conversion you can delete this to free up space. ↫ Mark Harmstone An amazing piece of software that works on both Linux and Windows, and even, as described above, comes with the option of undoing the conversion if you so desire and haven’t removed the original image yet. Its developer, Mark Harmstone, of course stresses that while he thinks the tool is quite stable, he obviously makes no guarantees or claims about its stability. In other words, please don’t use this on sensitive data or in a production environment. What makes this tool even more amazing is that you can combine it with two of Harmstone’s other tools to really pull some rabbits out of your hat. First, there’s his Btrfs driver for Windows, which, as the name implies, allows Windows to work with Btrfs-formatted drives. Second, and here’s where things get really spicy, there’s Quibble, his custom bootloader consisting of open source reimplementations of Windows’ own bootloader. Using these three tools together you can, if you’re lucky, boot and run Windows off a Btrfs drive. That’s quite cool, and while perhaps not particularly useful due to its experimental nature, it’s still an awesome weekend project.
