autoconf 2.70
by Xavier de Gaye 24 নভেম্বর, 2016

24 নভেম্বর, 2016

It seems that the configure file on the default branch has been generated with autoconf 2.70. Autoconf 2.70 has not yet been released [1]. The differences between the generated configure files with 2.69 and 2.70 are a few lines [3] added by 2.70 with 'runstatedir' in them. The last old discussion on the usage of different autoconf versions [2] does not really answer the following question: I am using 2.69, should a commit that changes configure.ac respects the existing 'runstatedir' lines added by a previous commit or uses directly the configure file generated by 2.69 ?

Reminder: 3.6.0b3 snapshot 2016-10-31 12:00 UTC
by Ned Deily 29 অক্টোবর, 2016

29 অক্টোবর, 2016

The third, and next-to-last, beta snapshot planned for the 3.6 release cycle is coming up in a few days. With fewer than 7 weeks remaining until the 3.6.0 release, it is very important that we all focus on stability and correctness. Please try to make sure that all remaining non-doc issues associated with new features are addressed in b3. Any remaining 3.6 feature-related issues still open after b3 should be marked in the issue tracker as "release blocker" and *must* be addressed one way or another by b4, 11-21. All other non-critical bug fixes should also be checked in by b4. Only release critical and doc fixes will be allowed once we exit the beta phase. Please plan accordingly. Please contact me if you have any questions about the 3.6.0 schedule or about whether a change is appropriate at this point in the 3.6.0 cycle. To recap, the remaining milestones for 3.6.0: 2016-10-31, 1200 UTC: 3.6.0 beta 3 (feature fixes, bug fixes, doc fixes) 2016-11-21: 3.6.0 beta 4 (important bug fixes and doc fixes) 2016-12-05 3.6.0 release candidate 1 (3.6.0 code freeze, release critical bug fixes, doc fixes) 2016-12-16 3.6.0 release (3.6.0rc1 plus any necessary emergency fixes) Thank you all again for your efforts so far on 3.6! --Ned https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0494/ -- Ned Deily nad(a)python.org -- []

[RELEASE] Python 3.6.0b2 is now available
by Ned Deily 11 অক্টোবর, 2016

11 অক্টোবর, 2016

On behalf of the Python development community and the Python 3.6 release team, I'm happy to announce the availability of Python 3.6.0b2. 3.6.0b2 is the second of four planned beta releases of Python 3.6, the next major release of Python, and marks the end of the feature development phase for 3.6. Among the new major new features in Python 3.6 are: * PEP 468 - Preserving the order of **kwargs in a function * PEP 487 - Simpler customization of class creation * PEP 495 - Local Time Disambiguation * PEP 498 - Literal String Formatting * PEP 506 - Adding A Secrets Module To The Standard Library * PEP 509 - Add a private version to dict * PEP 515 - Underscores in Numeric Literals * PEP 519 - Adding a file system path protocol * PEP 520 - Preserving Class Attribute Definition Order * PEP 523 - Adding a frame evaluation API to CPython * PEP 524 - Make os.urandom() blocking on Linux (during system startup) * PEP 525 - Asynchronous Generators (provisional) * PEP 526 - Syntax for Variable Annotations (provisional) * PEP 528 - Change Windows console encoding to UTF-8 (provisional) * PEP 529 - Change Windows filesystem encoding to UTF-8 (provisional) * PEP 530 - Asynchronous Comprehensions Please see "What’s New In Python 3.6" for more information: https://docs.python.org/3.6/whatsnew/3.6.html You can find Python 3.6.0b2 here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-360b2/ 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 3.6.0b3, currently scheduled for 2016-10-31. More information about the release schedule can be found here: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0494/ -- Ned Deily nad(a)python.org -- []
