+Adding support for a new Python release
+---------------------------------------
+
+When a new stable release of Python 3 appears, we must explicitly declare
+our support for it in the following places.
+
+tox.ini
+~~~~~~~
+
+The ``tox.ini`` file defines the environments where the BuildStream test suite
+runs. Every ``py{3.x,3.y}`` list must be updated to contain the new version
+number such as ``311`` for CPython 3.11.
+
+Use ``tox -e py311-nocover`` to run the test suite with the new version of
+Python.
+
+pyproject.toml
Review Comment:
Good addition to the hacking !
note that here we also have to bump the minimum required version of cython
which includes support for the new cpython version.
