 #### Python
 
-**Breaking change**: the `pants.backend.experimental.python.lint.ruff.check` and `pants.backend.experimental.python.lint.ruff.format` subsystems now execute Ruff as a downloaded binary, directly from the Ruff releases, rather than using PEX to execute the PyPI `ruff` package. This has less overhead, and makes customising the version simpler. However, **options like [`[ruff].install_from_resolve`](https://www.pantsbuild.org/2.24/reference/subsystems/ruff#install_from_resolve) are now ignored** and will be removed in future. If you have customised the version, use [`[ruff].version`](https://www.pantsbuild.org/2.24/reference/subsystems/ruff#version) and [`[ruff].known_versions`](https://www.pantsbuild.org/2.24/reference/subsystems/ruff#known_versions) instead.

This version of Pants includes built-in known-versions for the latest patch release (at time of development) of each `0.x` minor series (0.7.2, 0.6.9, 0.5.7, 0.4.10, 0.3.7, 0.2.2, 0.1.15): if you install from a resolve with a particular pinned version of Ruff, you may find setting `[ruff].version` to the closest matching version in that list is acceptable (if not, you may need to add to `[ruff].known_versions`).
 
 User API Changes:
 - Update default package mapping for `pymupdf` to match imports from both `fitz` (the legacy name) and `pymupdf` (the [currently supported name](https://pymupdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#problems-after-installation).

 - The default version of the [Pyright](https://microsoft.github.io/pyright/#/) tool has been updated from 1.1.365 to [1.1.383](https://github.com/microsoft/pyright/releases/tag/1.1.383).
 
+- The default version of the [Ruff](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/) tool has been updated from 0.4.9 to [0.7.2](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/releases/tag/0.7.2). (As discussed above, one can pin to particular versions, including 0.4.9, via the new `[ruff].version` and `[ruff].known_versions` options.)

 A new experimental [Python Provider](https://www.pantsbuild.org/blog/2023/03/31/two-hermetic-pythons) using [Python Build Standalone](https://gregoryszorc.com/docs/python-build-standalone/main/) is available as `pants.backend.python.providers.experimental.python_build_standalone`.  This joins the existing [pyenv provider](https://www.pantsbuild.org/stable/reference/subsystems/pyenv-python-provider) as a way for Pants to take care of providing an appropriate Python.
