On behalf of the packaging maintainers, I’d like to announce packaging 26.0rc1 is out! Support for pylock, import name metadata, writing metadata files, and so much more! Please try it out, as it's a huge release. If you'd like to read about the performance work making this the fastest version of packaging ever, see my post:

Packaging 26.1 out! Another huge release, with lots of great stuff, like pyemscripten wheels, free-threading stable ABI, dependency-groups, direct-urls, more pylock, & key for filter. Benchmarking, property-based testing, 2x faster performance in places! https://github.com/pypa/packaging/releases/tag/26.1 #python #release
