On behalf of the PyPA, I am pleased to announce that the pip team has just released pip 24.2.

> **[Client Challenge](https://pypi.org/project/pip/24.2/)**

You can read more about our versioning, deprecation policy, and release process [here](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/development/release-process/).

## Highlights

- Many performance improvements to speed up to pip’s download and installation logic.
- Use system certificates _and_ certifi certificates to verify HTTPS connections on Python 3.10+.
- Deprecate `pip install --editable` falling back to `setup.py develop`.
- Ignore `--require-virtualenv` for `pip check` and `pip freeze`.

Please consult our [changelog](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/news/) for more information.

## Thanks

As with all pip releases, a significant amount of the work was contributed by pip’s user community. Many thanks to all who have contributed, whether through code, documentation, issue reports and/or discussion. Your help keeps pip improving, and is hugely appreciated.
