    Python 3.9.6

    Get it here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-396/ = <https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-396/>
    Python 3.9.6 is the newest major stable release of the Python =
    programming language, and it contains many new features and =
    optimizations. There=E2=80=99s been 146 commits since 3.9.5 which is a = similar amount compared to 3.8 at the same stage of the release cycle. =
    See the change log = <https://docs.python.org/release/3.9.6/whatsnew/changelog.html> for =
    details.

    On macOS, we encourage you to use the universal2 binary installer =
    variant whenever possible. The legacy 10.9+ Intel-only variant will not =
    be provided for Python 3.10 and the universal2 variant will become the = default download for future 3.9.x releases. You may need to upgrade = third-party components, like pip, to later versions once they are =
    released. You may experience differences in behavior in IDLE and other = Tk-based applications due to using the newer version of Tk. As always, =
    if you encounter problems when using this installer variant, please =
    check https://bugs.python.org <https://bugs.python.org/> for existing =
    reports and for opening new issues.

    The next Python 3.9 maintenance release will be 3.9.7, currently =
    scheduled for 2021-08-30.

    The First Security-Only Release of Python 3.8

    Get it here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3811/ = <https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3811/>
    Security content in this release contains three fixes. There=E2=80=99s =
    also two fixes for 3.8.10 regressions. Take a look at the change log = <https://docs.python.org/release/3.8.11/whatsnew/changelog.html> for =
    details.

    According to the release calendar specified in PEP 569 = <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0569/>, Python 3.8 is now in =
    security fixes only stage of its life cycle: 3.8 branch only accepts =
    security fixes and releases of those are made irregularly in source-only =
    form until October 2024. Python 3.8 isn=E2=80=99t receiving regular =
    bugfixes anymore, and binary installers are no longer provided for it. =
    Python 3.8.10 was the last full bugfix release of Python 3.8 with binary = installers.

    Security releases of 3.7.11 and 3.6.14

    Get them here:
    https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3711/ = <https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3711/> https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3614/ = <https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3614/>
    Security content in those releases contains five fixes each. Check out =
    the relevant change logs for 3.7.11 = <https://docs.python.org/release/3.7.11/whatsnew/changelog.html> and =
    3.6.14 <https://docs.python.org/release/3.6.14/whatsnew/changelog.html> =
    for details.

    Similarly to 3.8, Python 3.7 and 3.6 are now in security fixes only =
    stage of their life cycle. Python 3.7 will be providing them until June =
    2023 while Python 3.6 ends its life in December 2021.
