Hatch v1.8.0

Changed:

• Drop support for Python 3.7
• The get_build_process method of the environment interface has been removed; plugins should use the new run_builder method instead
• Remove pyperclip dependency and the --copy flag of the config find command
• When running the build command all output from builders is now displayed as-is in real time without the stripping of ANSI codes
• Version information (for Hatch itself) is now derived from Git

Added:

• Support Python 3.12
• Add installers and standalone binaries
• Add the ability to manage Python installations
• Add fmt command
• The virtual environment type can now automatically download requested versions of Python that are not installed
• Add dependency_hash method to the environment interface
• The state of installed dependencies for environments is saved as metadata so if dependency definitions have not changed then no checking is performed, which can be computationally expensive
• The build command now supports backends other than Hatchling
• Allow the use of features for environments when skip-install is enabled
• The default is now __TOKEN__ when prompting for a username for the publish command
• Add a new run_builder method to the environment interface
• Bump the minimum supported version of Hatchling to 1.19.0
• Bump the minimum supported version of click to 8.0.6

Fixed:

• Fix nushell activation
• Better handling of flat storage directory hierarchies for the virtual environment type
• Display useful information when running the version command outside of a project rather than erroring
• Fix the project metadata command by only capturing stdout from the backend
• Properly support Google Artifact Registry
• Fix parsing dependencies for environments when warnings are emitted
