  .. _change in PyPI policy: https://blog.pypi.org/posts/2023-05-23-removing-pgp/

Deprecated

• #11412: Emit warnings on using a deprecated Python-specific index entry type (namely, module, keyword, operator, object, exception, statement, and builtin) in the :rst:dir:index directive, and set the removal version to Sphinx 9. Patch by Adam Turner.

Features added

• #11415: Add a checksum to JavaScript and CSS asset URIs included within generated HTML, using the CRC32 algorithm.
• :meth:~sphinx.application.Sphinx.require_sphinx now allows the version requirement to be specified as (major, minor).
• #11011: Allow configuring a line-length limit for object signatures, via :confval:maximum_signature_line_length and the domain-specific variants. If the length of the signature (in characters) is greater than the configured limit, each parameter in the signature will be split to its own logical line. This behaviour may also be controlled by options on object description directives, for example :rst:dir:py:function:single-line-parameter-list. Patch by Thomas Louf, Adam Turner, and Jean-François B.
• #10983: Support for multiline copyright statements in the footer block. Patch by Stefanie Molin
• sphinx.util.display.status_iterator now clears the current line with ANSI control codes, rather than overprinting with space characters.
• #11431: linkcheck: Treat SSL failures as broken links. Patch by Bénédikt Tran
• #11157: Keep the translated attribute on translated nodes.
• #11451: Improve the traceback displayed when using :option:sphinx-build -T in parallel builds. Patch by Bénédikt Tran
• #11324: linkcheck: Use session-basd HTTP requests.
• #11438: Add support for the :rst:dir:py:class and :rst:dir:py:function directives for PEP 695 (generic classes and functions declarations) and PEP 696 (default type parameters). Multi-line support (#11011) is enabled for type parameters list and can be locally controlled on object description directives, e.g., :rst:dir:py:function:single-line-type-parameter-list. Patch by Bénédikt Tran.
• #11484: linkcheck: Allow HTML anchors to be ignored on a per-URL basis via :confval:linkcheck_anchors_ignore_for_url while

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. If you'd rather skip all updates until the next major or minor version, let me know by commenting @dependabot ignore this major version or @dependabot ignore this minor version. You can also ignore all major, minor, or patch releases for a dependency by adding an ignore condition with the desired update_types to your config file.

If you change your mind, just re-open this PR and I'll resolve any conflicts on it.
