3.3.0 (2025-10-17)

Source | Diff

This release is a minor update that includes several bug fixes and improvements. The main highlights are support for
python 3.12 and 3.13 (finally), a new way to register plugins using python entry points, new settings to control the package payload caching disk usage, and an improved plugins documentation. It also contains a lot of various bug fixes that should benifit a lot of users.

Note that this release also drops support for Python 3.7. We are aware that this might affect some users, but we believe that the benefits of dropping Python 3.7 outweigh the potential drawbacks. Maintaining support for 3.7 was becoming impossible as the ecosystem is moving forward with future versions and leaving behind older versions.
