A new Python blog post/announcement has been posted!

I'm pleased to announce the release of Python 3.12 release candidate 1.
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3120rc1/

This is the first release candidate of Python 3.12.0

This release, 3.12.0rc1, is the penultimate release preview. Entering the release candidate phase, only reviewed code changes which are clear bug fixes are allowed between this release candidate and the final release. The second candidate (and the last planned release preview) is scheduled for Monday, 2023-09-04, while the official release of 3.12.0 is scheduled for Monday, 2023-10-02.

There will be no ABI changes from this point forward in the 3.12 series, and the goal is that there will be as few code changes as possible.
