Hi, folks from Hacker News!

Here is the blog post about the new release, here's a guide to the big resolver changes in pip 20.3 including how to migrate and what gotchas to watch out for, here's the full 20.3 changelog, and here's a 2-minute video about the resolver changes.

And if you have opinions on pip's user experience (how we should improve output and error messages, for instance), please sign up for our user experience studies so UX experts can ask you questions (via surveys or interviews) and help improve pip. People who signed up earlier this year helped us improve command-line output and polish guidance on dealing with backtracking and fixing conflicting dependencies.
