- Python 3.14 has been released, and is officially supported since `derivepassphrase` v0.5.1. - Python 3.9 has reached end-of-life, but we still retain compatibility at least until `derivepassphrase` v1.0. - Mention that *if* we make use of some Python functionality after the end-of-life of the last version not supporting this functionality, then we will update the declared supported Python versions accordingly.
