    D=C3=A9j=C3=A0 vu? Right, a month after the expedited releases we are =
    doing the dance again. This coincides with the regular scheduled time =
    for 3.10.8 but since we accrued a few fixes in 3.7 - 3.9 as well, = we=E2=80=99re again releasing all four editions at the same time. = We=E2=80=99re not promising to continue at this pace =F0=9F=98=85

    CVE-2022-40674: bundled libexpat was upgraded from 2.4.7 to 2.4.9 which =
    fixes a heap use-after-free vulnerability in function doContent
    gh-97616: a fix for a possible buffer overflow in list *=3D int

    As a bugfix release coming a mere month after an out-of-schedule =
    security release, 3.10.8 is somewhat smaller compared to 3.9.8 released =
    at the same stage of the release cycle a year ago. There=E2=80=99s 151 = commits vs 204 in 3.9. It=E2=80=99s still a larger release than 3.10.7 =
    at 113 commits. One way or the other, it=E2=80=99s worth checking out =
    the change log = <https://docs.python.org/release/3.10.8/whatsnew/changelog.html>.

    for something completely different

    Granular convection is a phenomenon where granular material subjected to = shaking or vibration will exhibit circulation patterns similar to types =
    of fluid convection.

    It is sometimes described as the Brazil nut effect when the largest =
    particles end up on the surface of a granular material containing a =
    mixture of variously sized objects; this derives from the example of a = typical container of mixed nuts, where the largest will be Brazil nuts.

    The phenomenon is also known as the muesli effect since it is seen in =
    packets of breakfast cereal containing particles of different sizes but = similar densities, such as muesli mix.

    Under experimental conditions, granular convection of variously sized = particles has been observed forming convection cells similar to fluid =
    motion.
