release date: end february 2025 (the year we end writing code from scratch... in fact this february)

wanted:

• same package list for Python-3.12slim and python-3.13slim
• python 3.14 alphas (if possible with tail compilation , 8% speed bump, or jit 4% )
• reduce technical debt and simplify maintainance:
  • launchers use now the simple DataLab-WinPython technic, many thanks to @PierreRaybaut
  • remove complex and less popular packages, that cause headhaches
  • use AI to simplify the code: Github/copilote-gpt4o "free" and Google Gemini Flash2.0 "free"
  • start rework to PEP-751 and signed wheels idea
    • drop un-maintained wheels
    • limit to pypi versions of wheels
• Postponed: numba-0.61.1, numpy-2.2 (but seems it was too late)

Experiment:

• local AI packages: DeepSeek R1 still claims 32Go Ram and 256Gb disk ? but for the full experience
• what is trusted publisher workflow ?

Direction:

• Help Python Sustainability:
  • favorise latest ( = more efficient and maintained) python
  • favorise dataframe API protocol: latest numpy ... in the limit of Numba support
  • favorise browser (and WebApp): Jupyterlite includes Duckdb, Polars-0.18.0 is now possible in pyodide-0.27
• WinPython sustainability:
  • use of several AIs to simplify code and maintainance
  • move towards signed wheels: PEP-751 and/or Include wheels in distribution #1481: ideal world is to shrink to a toml file specifying package/version/hash with "Trusted Publishing? Yes"
  • WinPythondot being enough to build a WinPython...
