Request to release support for python 3.12 to PyPI

• For Python issues, I have tested with the latest development wheel.
• I have checked the release documentation and the latest documentation (for main branch).

Proposed new feature or change

With the introduction of Ubuntu 24.04 and Python 3.12, the merged update in #6717 will be highly beneficial for many transitioning to this latest stack. This is our case.

No response

Additional information

Are there any timelines for future releases, such as version 0.19? If the release is still a while away, could an interim version like 0.18.1 be considered to incorporate recent updates, making it easier for those using Open3D with Ubuntu 24.04 and Python 3.12?

Thank you in advance.

Warm regards.

@ssheorey Do you happen to have any update on when a new release could be? Thanks.

Hello, I see the github page shows support for 3.12 on github https://github.com/isl-org/Open3D/tree/main/python as well as the website https://www.open3d.org/docs/latest/getting_started.html but the links are 404 and the commandline (pip install -U -f https://www.open3d.org/docs/latest/getting_started.html --only-binary open3d open3d) fails, is this a temporary error from CI or a documentation error? Thanks @johnthagen

Check #7079 for this, seems like CI jobs failing probably.

@ssheorey Could you take a look into these issues (including this one)?

Thanks in advance

It is a shame that the python 3.12 fix has been in so long with no release to pypi. As someone who uses open3d in a production setting, it is frustrating to have to install via finding links on a getting started page from within a docker build setting, especially when those links sometimes return 404. I would greatly appreciate an 0.18.1 or something to that effect on pypi with support for 3.12. Thanks for your hard work and consideration
