Do we have a timeline for when's the release planned for?

[radoering]

As always, when it's ready. (Maybe next week.)

For those waiting for Python 3.12 support, afaik it's not that Poetry 1.6 won't work with Python 3.12, it's just that it wasn't tested and there will be some minor adjustments in the next release:

• As can be seen in python 3.12 in pipelines #7803, tests just passed without any adjustments except for a minor detail regarding the implicit setuptools and wheel included in the virtual environments. Anyways, relying on these implicit packages is bad practice. If you depend on setuptools or wheel, you should make it an explicit dependency.
• The second notable difference is that the current Poetry will not automatically add the Programming Language :: Python :: 3.12 classifier when building a distribution. However, you can just add it manually to tool.poetry.classifiers in pyproject.toml if you can't wait to build a distribution with that classifier.

Apart from that, I'm not aware of any differences regarding Python 3.12.

It would be nice to get #8559 into the 1.7.0 release. Anything I can do to facilitate that?
