Currently supported Python versions are 3.8-3.13
This is a bugfix release of the 2.3.x series, which we decided to keep updated to offer a stable solution while we develop the next major version, 3.0.0.
As stated during 2.3.0 release, support for Windows 32 bit and Python 3.7 has been removed. Instead, support for Python 3.13 has been included in this release.
