* Preserve original PKG-INFO into METADATA when creating wheel
(instead of calling wheel.metadata.pkginfo_to_metadata). This
helps to be more compliant with the flow specified in PEP
517.
* Changed the WindowsSdkVersion, FrameworkVersion32 and
FrameworkVersion64 properties of setuptools.msvc.PlatformInfo
to return an empty tuple instead of None as a fallthrough
case -- by :user:`Avasam`

* Removed support for
SETUPTOOLS_DANGEROUSLY_SKIP_PYPROJECT_VALIDATION, as it is
deemed prone to errors.
* Added support for the environment variable
SETUPTOOLS_DANGEROUSLY_SKIP_PYPROJECT_VALIDATION=true,
allowing users to bypass the validation of pyproject.toml.
This option should be used only as a last resort when
resolving dependency issues, as it may lead to improper
functioning. Users who enable this setting are responsible
for ensuring that pyproject.toml complies with setuptools
requirements. (#4611) Attention! This environment variable
was removed in a later version of setuptools.
* Require Python 3.9 or later. (#4718)
* Remove dependency on importlib_resources and the vendored
copy of the library. Instead, setuptools consistently rely on
stdlib's importlib.resources (available on Python 3.9+).
(#4718)
* Setuptools' bdist_wheel implementation no longer produces
wheels with the m SOABI flag (pymalloc-related). This flag
was removed on Python 3.8+ (see :obj:`sys.abiflags`). (#4718)
* Updated vendored packaging version to 24.2. (#4740)
* Merge with pypa/distutils@251797602, including fix for
dirutil.mkpath handling in pypa/distutils#304.
* Allowed using dict as an ordered type in
setuptools.dist.check_requirements -- by :user:`Avasam`
* Ensured methods in setuptools.modified preferably raise a
consistent distutils.errors.DistutilsError type (except in
the deprecated use case of SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=stdlib)
