Python 3.8 is becoming more stable. Our bugfix releases are becoming
smaller as we progress. This one contains 122 changes, less than two
thirds of the previous average for a new release. Detailed information
about all changes made in version 3.8.6 specifically can be found in its change log. Note that compared to 3.8.5 this release also contains all changes present in 3.8.6rc1.

We hope you enjoy Python 3.8!

Thanks to all of the many volunteers who help make Python Development
and these releases possible! Please consider supporting our efforts by
volunteering yourself or through organization contributions to the
Python Software Foundation.
