Re: [python/core-workflow#186](https://github.com/python/core-workflow/issues/186)

We’ve made a new release of blurb.

The most important change is that new news files are created in directories that do not contain spaces: changes in the “Core and Builtins” and “C API” sections are created in `Core_and_Builtins` and `C_API` directories under [`Misc/NEWS.d/next/`](https://github.com/python/cpython/tree/main/Misc/NEWS.d/next) instead of `Core and Builtins` and `C API`.

- If you use the [blurb CLI](https://pypi.org/project/blurb/): please upgrade to blurb 1.2.0 or higher.

- If you use [blurb-it](https://blurb-it.herokuapp.com/add_blurb): we’ve updated blurb-as-a-service to also use underscores, carry on as before.

- If you have an open PR with a news file in `Core and Builtins` or `C API` directories: no change is needed, blurb as used by the RM will read from both. But if you wish, you may move the news file to the directory with underscores.

At some future point, we may trigger an error on the CI if a news file is found in a directory with spaces, so please do upgrade your blurb now.

Thank you!

This is now done ([python/cpython#126063](https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/126063)); the pre-commit/CI may show something like this, and tell you how to fix:

```plaintext
Check Core and Builtins news entries.....................................Failed
- hook id: blurb-no-space-core-and-builtins
- exit code: 1

Space found in path, move to Misc/NEWS.d/next/Core_and_Builtins/

Misc/NEWS.d/next/Core and Builtins/2023-12-30-00-21-45.gh-issue-113570._XQgsW.rst
