Release Notes
Released on 2026-05-04.
Note due to a timeout publishing to crates.io, the GitHub portion of this release was published manually by a maintainer using the artifacts built in CI. Consequently, GitHub attestations will not be available. Additionally, this release will not be fully published to crates.io. There should be no other effects.
Python 3.14.5 release candidate
This release includes a special release candidate for the next Python 3.14 patch release. Python 3.14 included a new garbage collection implementation, which reduced pause times but caused significant unexpected memory pressure in production environments. In 3.14.5 and 3.15, the previous garbage collection implementation will be restored.
We would greatly appreciate if you tested the 3.14.5rc1 version included in this release. The stable version is expected to be released soon and any feedback on potential issues would be helpful to the Python development team.
For more context, see the announcement, issue, and pull request.
Issues with the new release can be reported in the uv or CPython issue trackers.
