Release of PyTango 10.1.4
Dear all,
We are pleased to announce that PyTango 10.1.4 is now available.
This is a patch release that fixes memory leaks affecting the 10.1.x series when used with Python 3.14 and newer. If you are running PyTango 10.1.x with Python 3.14+, we strongly recommend updating to this version as soon as possible.

New releases for PyTango: 10.0.4 and 10.1.3
Dear all,
PyTango 10.0.4 and 10.1.3 are now available.
These are patch releases. They include updated cppTango versions (10.0.4 and 10.1.2) with a fix for the Alarm event, bundled in the wheels.
Downloads:
PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/pytango/
GitLab: https://gitlab.com/tango-controls/pytango/-/releases
conda-forge: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pytango.
Conda packages do not bundle cppTango, so upgrading cppTango provides the same fix.
Changelogs:
https://tango-controls.readthedocs.io/projects/pytango/en/v10.0.4/versions/news.html
https://tango-controls.readthedocs.io/projects/pytango/en/v10.1.3/versions/news.html
For more details, see the GitLab release pages.
Regards,
