 # Mypy Release Notes
 
-## Next release
+## Mypy 1.9
+
+We’ve just uploaded mypy 1.9 to the Python Package Index ([PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/mypy/)). Mypy is a static type checker for Python. This release includes new features, performance improvements and bug fixes. You can install it as follows:
+
+    python3 -m pip install -U mypy
+
+You can read the full documentation for this release on [Read the Docs](http://mypy.readthedocs.io).
+
+#### Breaking Changes
+
+Because the version of typeshed we use in mypy 1.9 doesn't support 3.7, neither does mypy 1.9. (Jared Hance, PR [16883](https://github.com/python/mypy/pull/16883))
+
+#### Basic PEP 696 Support
+
+This release contains new support for PEP 696 (https://peps.python.org/pep-0696). Please try it out! (Contributed by Marc Mueller).
+
+#### Type-checking improvements
+ * Fix duplicated TypeVarTuple test (Jelle Zijlstra, PR [16853](https://github.com/python/mypy/pull/16853))
+ * Fix missing type store for overloads (Marc Mueller, PR [16803](https://github.com/python/mypy/pull/16803))
+ * Fix `'WriteToConn' object has no attribute 'flush'` (Charlie Denton, PR [16801](https://github.com/python/mypy/pull/16801))
+ * Update TypeAlias error messages to remove colon (Marc Mueller, PR [16831](https://github.com/python/mypy/pull/16831))
+ * Support narrowing unions that include type[None] (Christoph Tyralla, PR [16315](https://github.com/python/mypy/pull/16315))
+ * Support TypedDict functional syntax as class base type (anniel-stripe, PR [16703](https://github.com/python/mypy/pull/16703))
+ * Accept multiline quoted annotations (Shantanu, PR [16765](https://github.com/python/mypy/pull/16765))
+ * Allow unary + in Literal (Jelle Zijlstra, PR [16729](https://github.com/python/mypy/pull/16729))
+ * Speed up finding function type variables (Jukka Lehtosalo, PR [16562](https://github.com/python/mypy/pull/16562))
+ * Substitute type variables in return type of static methods (Kouroche Bouchiat, PR [16670](https://github.com/python/mypy/pull/16670))
+ * Consider TypeVarTuple to be invariant (Marc Mueller, PR [16759](https://github.com/python/mypy/pull/16759))
+ * Add `alias` support to `field()` in `attrs` plugin (Nikita Sobolev, PR [16610](https://github.com/python/mypy/pull/16610))
+ * Improve attrs hashability detection (Tin Tvrtković, PR [16556](https://github.com/python/mypy/pull/16556))
+
+#### Documentation Updates
+ * Document --enable-incomplete-feature possible values in "mypy --help" (Froger David, PR [16661](https://github.com/python/mypy/pull/16661))

+ * Various docs improvements (Shantanu, PR [16836](https://github.com/python/mypy/pull/16836))
+
+#### Stubtest Improvements
+ * Stubtest will ignore private function/method parameters when they are missing from the stub.
