-Fixed a regression in pytest 8.0.0 where test classes containing ``setup_method`` and tests using ``@staticmethod`` or ``@classmethod`` would crash with ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'setup_method'``.
-
-Now the :attr:`request.instance <pytest.FixtureRequest.instance>` attribute of tests using ``@staticmethod`` and ``@classmethod`` is no longer ``None``, but a fresh instance of the class, like in non-static methods.
-Previously it was ``None``, and all fixtures of such tests would share a single ``self``.

-A deprecation warning is now raised when implementations of one of the following hooks request a deprecated ``py.path.local`` parameter instead of the ``pathlib.Path`` parameter which replaced it:
-
-- :hook:`pytest_ignore_collect` - the ``path`` parameter - use ``collection_path`` instead.
-- :hook:`pytest_collect_file` - the ``path`` parameter - use ``file_path`` instead.
-- :hook:`pytest_pycollect_makemodule` - the ``path`` parameter - use ``module_path`` instead.
-- :hook:`pytest_report_header` - the ``startdir`` parameter - use ``start_path`` instead.
-- :hook:`pytest_report_collectionfinish` - the ``startdir`` parameter - use ``start_path`` instead.
-
-The replacement parameters are available since pytest 7.0.0.
-The old parameters will be removed in pytest 9.0.0.
-
-See :ref:`legacy-path-hooks-deprecated` for more details.
