+---
+
+The Poetry team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Poetry **1.7.0**.
+
+<!--more-->
+
+If you have a previous version of Poetry installed via `pipx`,
+getting Poetry **1.7.0** is as easy as:
+
+```bash
+$ pipx upgrade poetry
+```
+
+If you used the [official installer](/docs/#installation), you can run:
+
+```bash
+$ poetry self update
+```
+
+## Highlights
+
+### Official support for Python 3.12
+
+Even though Poetry 1.6 probably works well with Python 3.12,
+we did some fine-tuning to make the user experience more consistent:
+
+Python 3.12 is the first Python version that does not implicitly includes `setuptools`
+in newly created virtual environments. In order to align Poetry with other tools,
+we now also do not implicitly include `setuptools` in newly created Python 3.12
+environments. In this context, we have also changed that `wheel` is not implicitly
+included anymore (for all Python versions). Further, `setuptools` and `wheel`
+will now be removed when running `poetry install --sync` if they are not required
+by the project. If you rely on `setuptools` or `wheel`,
+please make it an explicit dependency in your `pyproject.toml`.
+
+Further, some deprecation warnings were addressed and
+the `Programming Language :: Python :: 3.12` classifier will be set automatically now
+if Python 3.12 is in your project's supported Python versions.
+
+### Improved handling of dependencies with extras during dependency resolution
+
+The `extra` marker is quite special. Whereas other markers can only have one value for
+a specific environment, `extra` can have multiple values at the same time.
+
+For example, a marker like `sys_platform == "win32" and sys_platform == "linux"`
+can never be satisfied because `sys_platform` can only be either `"win32"` or `"linux"`
+(not both). By contrast, a marker like `extra == "a" and extra == "b"`
+can be satisfied if both extras are requested.
+
+Poetry can now handle this peculiarity and ignore dependencies that are only
+relevant for inactive extras.
+
+### Fix longstanding race condition in `poetry install`
+
+Intermittent failures of `poetry install` with error messages like
+`Backend 'setuptools.build_meta:__legacy__' is not available.` should now be resolved
+by fixing a race condition when installing multiple source distributions with
+overlapping build requirements in parallel.
+
+## Upcoming Changes
+
+### Removing `poetry-plugin-export` from the default installation
+
+Prior Poetry 1.2, `export` had been a built-in command. With Poetry 1.2, the `export`
+command was outsourced into `poetry-plugin-export`. To avoid a breaking change,
+we decided to install `poetry-plugin-export` per default. However, this resulted
+in a cyclic dependency between `poetry` and `poetry-plugin-export`, which causes
+issues for some third-party tools and results in an increased maintenance effort
+for the Poetry team.
+
+Therefore, **we are planning to not install `poetry-plugin-export`
+per default in a future version of Poetry.**
+To ensure that as many users as possible are informed about this upcoming change,
+a warning, which can be deactivated, will be shown when running `poetry export`.
+In order to make your automation forward-compatible, just install `poetry-plugin-export`
+explicitly (even though it is already installed per default for now).
