[python-committers] Proposed release schedule for Python 3.5.4

2017-06-21 Thread Larry Hastings
It's time to start planning the next 3.5 release, 3.5.4. Note that this will be the last 3.5 "bugfix" release; after 3.5.4, the 3.5 branch will only be open for security fixes. 3.5.4 will also be the last release of 3.5 with binary installers. I propose to tag and release 3.5.4 on these d

On behalf of the Python development community, I'm chuffed to announce the availability of Python 3.5.8rc1. Python 3.5 is in "security fixes only" mode.  This new version only contains security fixes, not conventional bug fixes, and it is a source-only release. You can find Python 3.5.8rc1
