I saw today that pip's last release, 9.0.1, was in November 2016. https://pypi.org/project/pip/#history
Since that release, 250+ PRs have been merged: https://github.com/pypa/pip/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Apr+is%3Amerged+updated%3A%3E%3D2016-11-06 I see that a few issues https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22release+blocker%22 are marked as blocking the next release, but are they all blocking *any* next release (such as a 9.0.2 bugfix release), or would it be possible to release soon anyway, while working towards 10.0.0? Or are there backwards-incompatible changes in trunk? -Sumana -- Sumana Harihareswara Changeset Consulting https://changeset.nyc
