Greetings! Time for another combined release of six separate versions of = Python!

<https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-11-4-3-10-12-3-9-17-3-8-17-3-7-17-a= nd-3-12-0-beta-2-are-now-availble/27477#before-you-scroll-away-to-the-down= load-links-1>Before you scroll away to the download links

Please test the 3.12 beta! Downloading it and trying it out helps us a =
lot in ensuring Python 3.12.0 will be as polished as possible.

We welcome 3.10 to the prestigious club of security-only releases. = It=E2=80=99s officially an old version of Python now! If you haven=E2=80=99=
t rewritten all your if:elif:else:s with pattern matching yet, are you =
even still writing Python?

At the same time, it looks like 3.7 is reaching end-of-life. Unless =
another security release happens in June, 3.7.17 will be the final =
release of Python 3.7. I mean, now that I typed it out for all you to =
read, I=E2=80=99m sure I jinxed it. But in case I didn=E2=80=99t, I =
would like to thank Ned Deily for serving as the release manager of =
Python 3.6 and Python 3.7. He was my mentor as Release Manager, and =
continues serving Python as the provider of Mac installers for new =
releases. Thank you, Ned!

Speaking of installers, Steve Dower used to be the sole provider of =
Windows installers for Python releases for years now. His secret was a = well-automated Azure pipeline that let him build, sign, and publish =
releases with minimal manual effort. Now he extended the power to press =
the blue =E2=80=9CRun pipeline=E2=80=9D button to more members of the =
team. Thank you, Steve! This is an important bus factor increment. In =
fact, the Windows installers for both 3.12.0b2 and 3.11.4 were made by = meinitiated by me = <https://dev.azure.com/Python/cpython/_build/results?buildId=3D129764&view= =3Dresults>. If there=E2=80=99s anything wrong with them, well, I guess =
that means I pressed the button wrong.

Updating is recommended due to security content:

characters following the specification for URLs defined by WHATWG in =
response to CVE-2023-24329.
3.7 - 3.11: gh-99889 <https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/99889>: =

3.7 - 3.11: gh-101283 <https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/101283>: = subprocess.Popen now uses a safer approach to find cmd.exe when =
launching with shell=3DTrue.
3.8 - 3.11: gh-103935 <https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/103935>: = trace.__main__ now uses io.open_code() for files to be executed instead =
