2026.08.17 🪟

This is a small follow-up release to better support running the parallel mode on legacy windows.

We'd like to thank the following folks who contributed to this release:

• @​henryiii
• @​nightcityblade (first contribution)

Fixes:

• Support legacy encodings in the parallel reporter by @​nightcityblade in wntrblm/nox#1160

Internal changes:

• Tighten mypy and pytest config by @​henryiii in wntrblm/nox#1167
• Bump pre-commit hooks, hold pyproject-fmt at 2.26.0 by @​henryiii in wntrblm/nox#1163
• Bump the github-actions group with 2 updates by @​dependabot in wntrblm/nox#1162

2026.08.10 🔀

This release can run sessions in parallel with --parallel/-j (experimental for now, report any bugs!). Requires session opt-in, or use --allow-parallel. Interpreter discovery now uses the python-discovery package, which should be better at finding Python and supports version specifier sets. Using this, script mode reads requires-python. Many bugs were fixed, mostly in Python version handling, conda version specifiers, and option precedence. Unrecognized global options are now an error.

• Sort classifier-derived Python versions by @​Himanshuagrawal4 in wntrblm/nox#1100

Fixes:

• Isolate script mode from inherited PYTHONPATH by @​yangfan-yf-yf in wntrblm/nox#1157
• Require virtualenv 21+ on Python 3.15 by @​henryiii in wntrblm/nox#1158
