 ## 2025.10.14
 
 This release updates the default for the GitHub Action to target the current range of recommended Pythons (3.10-3.14). There's now a mechanism to control if nox downloads Python (even when not using uv). Several fixes include better free-threading support, custom filenames in script mode, and support for GitHub Actions Windows ARM runners.
