Version 26.1 of
the pip package installer for Python has been released. Richard Si
has published a blog
post that looks at some of the highlights of 26.1 including
dependency cooldowns, experimental support for pylock (pylock.toml)
files, and resolver
improvements that will move pip closer to the goal of removing its
legacy resolver. The release also includes several security fixes and
drops support for Python 3.9.
