Déjà vu? Right, a month after the expedited releases we are doing the dance again. This coincides with the regular scheduled time for 3.10.8 but since we accrued a few fixes in 3.7 - 3.9 as well, we’re again releasing all four editions at the same time. We’re not promising to continue at this pace 😅

There’s 151 commits vs 204 in 3.9. It’s still a larger release than 3.10.7 at 113 commits. One way or the other, it’s worth checking out the change log <https://docs.python.org/release/3.10.8/whatsnew/changelog.html>. <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-versions-3-10-8-3-9-15-3-8-15-3-7-15-now-available/19889#and-now-for-something-completely-different-3>And now for something completely different Granular convection is a phenomenon where granular material subjected to shaking or vibration will exhibit circulation patterns similar to types of fluid convection. It is sometimes described as the Brazil nut effect when the largest particles end up on the surface of a granular material containing a mixture of variously sized objects; this derives from the example of a typical container of mixed nuts, where the largest will be Brazil nuts. The phenomenon is also known as the muesli effect since it is seen in packets of breakfast cereal containing particles of different sizes but similar densities, such as muesli mix. Under experimental conditions, granular convection of variously sized particles has been observed forming convection cells similar to fluid motion. <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-versions-3-10-8-3-9-15-3-8-15-3-7-15-now-available/19889#we-hope-you-enjoy-the-new-releases-4>We hope you enjoy the new releases!
