Introduction The upcoming Python 3.14 release is packed with exciting features and improvements. A release candidate for 3.14 is now available. Regular Python users are encouraged to download and try it to ensure it is well tested before the final release. It contains significant improvements to the free-threaded version of Python, which allows Python to run without the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL). Here at Quansight, I have implemented several optimizations to the garbage collector (GC) for this new Python build.
