## Self-contained Pre-built Binary Packages
For some platforms we provide pre-built binary packages containing
ready-to-run executables. This includes a self-contained Python 3
environment, a recent OpenSSL that support ALPN and HTTP/2, and other
dependencies that would otherwise we cumbersome to compile and install.
For some platforms we provide pre-built binary packages containing ready-to-run

Please be advised that we do not update these binaries after the initial
release. This means we do not include security-related updates of our
dependencies in already released mitmproxy versions. If there is a
severe issue, we might consider releasing a bugfix release of mitmproxy
and corresponding binary packages.
Dependencies in the binary packages are frozen on release, and can't be updated
in situ. This means that we necessarily capture any bugs or security issues that
may be present. We don't generally release new binary packages simply to update
dependencies (though we may do so if we become aware of a really serious issue).
If you use our binary packages, please make sure you update regularly to ensure
that everything remains current.
We only support the latest version of mitmproxy with bugfix and security
updates through regular minor releases.
