+title: Render Engine 2026.10.1a1 Released
+date: 2026-10-16 13:04:12.076499
+---
+Render Engine 2026.10.1a1 has been released as an alpha release for testing. This versions includes:
+
+- Removing of support for Python 3.10 and adding Python 3.15
+- Improved error handling when rendering a `Site`:
+  - `Collection.render` will aggregate exceptions from all entries it renders and, if there were exceptions, raise an
+  `ExceptionGroup`.
+  - All `Exception`s encountered during rendering will be annotated with relevant data to help you understand which
+  entry caused the `Exception` to be raised.
+  - On completion of rendering all entries the `Site` will, if any `Exception`s occurred, output to `STDERR` the
+  annotations from the accumulated `Exception`s and store the complete back traces (including the annotations) to
+  a log file in the `Site`'s output directory.
+
