Salt 3006.27 release notes - UNRELEASED#
Python 3.11 upgrade#
Starting with Salt 3006.27, the bundled onedir packages (Linux, macOS, and Windows) ship CPython 3.11.15 instead of 3.10.20. Python 3.10 reaches end of security support in October 2026, while the 3006.x series must continue shipping security fixes through July 2027; aligning the bundled interpreter with 3.11 keeps Salt's security cadence on a supported CPython.
Users upgrading from a previous 3006.x onedir package need to reinstall any
Salt extensions installed via salt-pip, because the onedir extras-3.10
directory is replaced by extras-3.11. See
#69526 /
#69527 for details.
