| Abstract | |
| ======== | |
| This document describes the development and release schedule for | |
| Python 3.6. The schedule primarily concerns itself with PEP-sized | |
| items. | |
| Release Manager and Crew | |
| ======================== | |
| - 3.6 Release Manager: Ned Deily | |
| - Windows installers: Steve Dower | |
| - Mac installers: Ned Deily | |
| - Documentation: Julien Palard, Georg Brandl | |
| 3.6 Lifespan | |
| ============ | |
| 3.6 will receive `bugfix updates <https://devguide.python.org/devcycle/#maintenance-branches>`_ | |
| approximately every 3 months for about 24 months. Sometime after the release of | |
| 3.7.0 final, a final 3.6 bugfix update will be released. | |
| After that, it is expected that | |
| `security updates <https://devguide.python.org/devcycle/#security-branches>`_ | |
| (source only) will be released as needed until 5 years after | |
| the release of 3.6 final, so until approximately 2021-12. | |
| As of 2021-12-23, 3.6 has reached the | |
| `end-of-life phase <https://devguide.python.org/devcycle/#end-of-life-branches>`_ | |
| of its release cycle. 3.6.15 was the final security release. The code base for | |
| 3.6 is now frozen and no further updates will be provided nor issues of any | |
| kind will be accepted on the bug tracker. | |
