Description
This issue tracks the upcoming 2.8.0 release.
Expected date: this week (before 05/09 if all goes well)
Deprecation notice
- This major version will be the last to support Python 3.7 and 3.8. While this was initially planned for 2.7.0, support was extended because of how used those versions still are. They have been EoL for more than 2 years, and we highly encourage remaining users to upgrade.
Note
We have clarified our CONTRIBUTING and SECURITY guidelines. This notably includes some new guidance related to the use of AI, and some instructions regarding the submission of security issues. We encourage contributors to take a moment to read the updated versions.
Changelog
TBD XXX TODO
- Work has begun to clean up the remaining compatibility code that allowed the transition from Python 2.

Research direction
Start with milestone 4 and review the updated CONTRIBUTING and SECURITY guidelines referenced in the issue. Check the pending changelog and the remaining Python 2 compatibility cleanup; the work is done when the 2.8.0 release tracking items are complete and the changelog is no longer marked TBD.
