33 Debian LTS Advisories fixing 216 CVEs for various packages were released by Debian LTS contributors in January 2026. These include notable security updates for python 3.9, django 2.2.28, php 7.4, apache2, ceph, Linux 6.1 kernel and more.

A study into the security status report of p7zip, which is unmaintained upstream, was also done last month in addition to updates contributed for recent releases of Debian 12, Debian 13 and to Debian unstable.

Did you remember to finally drop Python 3.9 support from your Python package? 🐍

Five years in tech is basically a whole lifetime and when Python 3.9 came out in 2020, most of us were still debating whether 5G was actually a thing 😄

Time to give your package a refresh and let 3.9 retire with dignity! ♻️

flake8-implicit-str-concat 0.6.0

A Flake8 plugin to identify those unjoined strings that a first Black run leaves behind:

I hear there's another big release tomorrow? This release adds support for Python 3.14 and for once code changes were needed due to AST deprecation removals.

Also drop support for almost-very-nearly-EOL Python 3.9.
