===================

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------

- Document that certain removals can be fast tracked. (`8417 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8417>`_)
- Document that Python versions are generally supported until PyPI usage falls below 5%. (`8927 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8927>`_)

Features
--------

- New resolver: Avoid accessing indexes when the installed candidate is preferred
and considered good enough. (`8023 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8023>`_)
- Improve error message friendliness when an environment has packages with
corrupted metadata. (`8676 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8676>`_)
- Cache package listings on index packages so they are guarenteed to stay stable
during a pip command session. This also improves performance when a index page
is accessed multiple times during the command session. (`8905 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8905>`_)
- New resolver: Tweak resolution logic to improve user experience when
user-supplied requirements conflict. (`8924 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8924>`_)

Bug Fixes
---------

- New resolver: Correctly respect ``Requires-Python`` metadata to reject
incompatible packages in ``--no-deps`` mode. (`8758 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8758>`_)
- New resolver: Pick up hash declarations in constraints files and use them to
filter available distributions. (`8792 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8792>`_)
- New resolver: If a package appears multiple times in user specification with
different ``--hash`` options, only hashes that present in all specifications
should be allowed. (`8839 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8839>`_)

Improved Documentation
----------------------

- Add ux documentation (`8807 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8807>`_)
