Howdy howdy. I know nobody's excited by the prospect of 3.4 and 3.5
releases--I mean, fer gosh sakes, neither of those versions even has
f-strings! But we're about due. I prefer to release roughly every
six months, and the current releases came out in early August.
Here's my proposed schedule:
Sun Jan 21 2017 - release 3.4.8rc1 and 3.5.5rc1
Sun Feb 04 2017 - release 3.4.8 final and 3.5.5 final
Unless I'm presented with good reasons to change it, that'll be the
schedule. I'll update the PEPs with the final release dates in
about a week.
Just for fun, I'll remind everybody here that 3.4 and 3.5 are both
in security-fixes-only mode. This means two things:
- These will be source-code-only releases; the Python core dev
team won't release any more binary installers for 3.4 or 3.5.
- I'm the only person permitted to accept PRs for 3.4 and 3.5.
If you have security fixes for either of those versions, please
add me as a reviewer.
Happy holidays to you and yours,
