+
+  The default version of python has been switched to 3.12.
+
+  For ports users wanting to keep version 3.11 as default,
+  add DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= python=3.11 to make.conf
+
+  With packages, the following may ease the process:
+  # sh
+  # for i in $(pkg query -g %n 'py311-*'); do pkg set -yn ${i}:py312-${i#py311-}; done
+  # pkg upgrade
+
+  If no longer required, Python 3.11 can be removed via
+  "pkg remove python311" and the directory /usr/local/lib/python3.11 can
+  then be deleted afterwards, if not empty.
