The main branch is currently the future Python 3.12, and is the only
branch that accepts new features. The latest release for each Python
version can be found on the `download page <https://www.python.org/downloads/>`_.

Status:

:features: new features, bugfixes, and security fixes are accepted.
:prerelease: feature fixes, bugfixes, and security fixes are accepted for the
upcoming feature release.
:bugfix: bugfixes and security fixes are accepted, new binaries are still
released. (Also called **maintenance** mode or **stable** release)
:security: only security fixes are accepted and no more binaries are released,
but new source-only versions can be released
:end-of-life: release cycle is frozen; no further changes can be pushed to it.

See also the :ref:`devcycle` page for more information about branches.

By default, the end-of-life is scheduled 5 years after the first release,
but can be adjusted by the release manager of each branch. All Python 2
versions have reached end-of-life.
