Déjà vu? Proper, a month after the expedited releases we’re doing the dance once more. This coincides with the common scheduled time for 3.10.8 however since we accrued a couple of fixes in 3.7 – 3.9 as effectively, we’re once more releasing all 4 editions on the identical time. We’re not promising to proceed at this tempo
Safety content material this time
- CVE-2022-40674: bundled libexpat was upgraded from 2.4.7 to 2.4.9 which fixes a heap use-after-free vulnerability in operate
doContent - gh-97616: a repair for a doable buffer overflow in
listing *= int - gh-97612: a repair for doable shell injection within the instance script
get-remote-certificate.py(this situation initially had a CVE assigned to it, which its writer withdrew) - gh-96577: a repair for a possible buffer overrun in

Python 3.10.8
Get it right here: https://www.python.org/downloads/launch/python-3108/
As a bugfix launch coming a mere month after an out-of-schedule safety launch, 3.10.8 is considerably smaller in comparison with 3.9.8 launched on the identical stage of the discharge cycle a 12 months in the past. There’s 151 commits vs 204 in 3.9. It’s nonetheless a bigger launch than 3.10.7 at 113 commits. By hook or by crook, it’s value trying out the change log.
And now for one thing utterly completely different
Granular convection is a phenomenon the place granular materials subjected to shaking or vibration will exhibit circulation patterns much like forms of fluid convection.
It’s generally described because the Brazil nut impact when the most important particles find yourself on the floor of a granular materials containing a combination of variously sized objects; this derives from the instance of a typical container of blended nuts, the place the most important shall be Brazil nuts.
The phenomenon is also referred to as the muesli impact since it’s seen in packets of breakfast cereal containing particles of various sizes however comparable densities, corresponding to muesli combine.
Beneath experimental circumstances, granular convection of variously sized particles has been noticed forming convection cells much like fluid movement.
We hope you take pleasure in the brand new releases!
Because of all the many volunteers who assist make Python Growth and these releases doable! Please think about supporting our efforts by volunteering your self or by means of group contributions to the Python Software program Basis.
