+
+The October 2024 releases included updates to conda-package-handling and conda-package-streaming! 🎉 All of these have been released to both `main` and `conda-forge` channels.
+
+<!-- truncate -->
+
+## Changes in [conda-package-handling 2.4.0](https://github.com/conda/conda-package-handling/releases/tag/2.4.0)
+
+To update conda-package-handling to the latest version, run:
+
+```bash
+conda install -n base conda-package-handling=2.4.0
+```
+
+### ✨ What's New? ✨
+
+- Expose API keyword and CLI argument to control which component(s) of the `.conda` artifact is listed in `cph list`.
+- Allow `cph list` on remote `.conda` artifact URLs.
+
+### 🔧 What Got Fixed? 🔧
+
+- Use `force_zip64=True` when directly creating `.conda` files. Allows >2GB
+(compressed) size.
+- Replace `.conda` or `.tar.bz2` extensions from end of string only instead of
+`str.replace(...)`.
+
+### Other
+
+- Improved type annotations on an internal function.
+
+
+## Changes in [conda-package-streaming 0.11.0](https://github.com/conda/conda-package-streaming/releases/tag/v0.11.0)
+
+To update conda-package-streaming to the latest version, run:
+
+```bash
+conda install -n base conda-package-streaming=0.11.0
+```
+
+### ✨ What's New? ✨
+
+- Add Python 3.12 to test matrix.
+- Pass Python `tarfile.extractall(filter="fully_trusted")` in addition to
+internal filtering, when available, to avoid Python 3.12+ `DeprecationWarning`.
+- Improve `umask` handling.
+- Add `transmute_stream(...)` to create `.conda` from `(TarFile, TarInfo)`
+iterators, allowing more creative data sources than just `.tar.bz2` inputs.
+- Add `create` module with `TarFile` interface for creating `.conda`
+archives, also used by `transmute`.
+- Pass `encoding="utf-8"` to `TarFile` instead of the system default, avoiding
+rare potential issues with non-ASCII filenames.
