We will have a new provider next week, but you can read it online.
Python 3.14 shipped with a new incremental garbage collector. However, we’ve had a number of reports of significant memory pressure in production environments. We’ve decided to revert it in both 3.14 and 3.15, and go back to the generational GC from 3.13. 3.15 is still in alpha, so such changes are fine. For 3.14, it is unusual for a patch release, but the old GC is a known quantity, the new incremental GC didn’t go through the PEP process, and was rolled back just before the final release of ...
