    When the deprecation expires (e.g. 4.0 is released), we won't remove the deprecated functionality immediately, but will use the standard warning filters to turn `PytestRemovedInXWarning` (e.g. `PytestRemovedIn4Warning`) into **errors** by default. This approach makes it explicit that removal is imminent, and still gives you time to turn the deprecated feature into a warning instead of an error so it can be dealt with in your own time.

+
+- `#11825 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11825>`_: The :hook:`pytest_plugin_registered` hook has a new ``plugin_name`` parameter containing the name by which ``plugin`` is registered.

+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- `#11706 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11706>`_: Fix reporting of teardown errors in higher-scoped fixtures when using `--maxfail` or `--stepwise`.

The issue was caused by the fact that ``str(Path(mod))`` and ``mod.__file__`` don't necessarily produce the same string, and was being erroneously used interchangably in some places in the code.
+
+  This fix also broke the internal API of ``PytestPluginManager.consider_conftest`` by introducing a new parameter -- we mention this in case it is being used by external code, even if marked as *private*.

+
+Breaking Changes
+----------------
+
+Old Deprecations Are Now Errors
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- `#7363 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7363>`_: **PytestRemovedIn8Warning deprecation warnings are now errors by default.**
+
+  Following our plan to remove deprecated features with as little disruption as
+  possible, all warnings of type ``PytestRemovedIn8Warning`` now generate errors
+  instead of warning messages by default.
+
+  **The affected features will be effectively removed in pytest 8.1**, so please consult the
+  :ref:`deprecations` section in the docs for directions on how to update existing code.
+
+  In the pytest ``8.0.X`` series, it is possible to change the errors back into warnings as a
+  stopgap measure by adding this to your ``pytest.ini`` file:
+
+  .. code-block:: ini
+
+      [pytest]
+      filterwarnings =
+          ignore::pytest.PytestRemovedIn8Warning
+
+  But this will stop working when pytest ``8.1`` is released.
+
+  **If you have concerns** about the removal of a specific feature, please add a
+  comment to :issue:`7363`.
+
+
+Version Compatibility
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- `#11151 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11151>`_: Dropped support for Python 3.7, which `reached end-of-life on 2023-06-27 <https://devguide.python.org/versions/>`__.
+
+
+- ``pluggy>=1.3.0`` is now required.
+
+
+Collection Changes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In this version we've made several breaking changes to pytest's collection phase,
+particularly around how filesystem directories and Python packages are collected,
+fixing deficiencies and allowing for cleanups and improvements to pytest's internals.
+A deprecation period for these changes was not possible.
+
+
+- `#7777 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7777>`_: Files and directories are now collected in alphabetical order jointly, unless changed by a plugin.
+  Previously, files were collected before directories.
+  See below for an example.
+
+
+- `#8976 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8976>`_: Running `pytest pkg/__init__.py` now collects the `pkg/__init__.py` file (module) only.
+  Previously, it collected the entire `pkg` package, including other test files in the directory, but excluding tests in the `__init__.py` file itself
+  (unless :confval:`python_files` was changed to allow `__init__.py` file).
+
+  To collect the entire package, specify just the directory: `pytest pkg`.
+
+
+- `#11137 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11137>`_: :class:`pytest.Package` is no longer a :class:`pytest.Module` or :class:`pytest.File`.
+
+  The ``Package`` collector node designates a Python package, that is, a directory with an `__init__.py` file.
+  Previously ``Package`` was a subtype of ``pytest.Module`` (which represents a single Python module),
+  the module being the `__init__.py` file.
+  This has been deemed a design mistake (see :issue:`11137` and :issue:`7777` for details).
+
+  The ``path`` property of ``Package`` nodes now points to the package directory instead of the ``__init__.py`` file.
+
+  Note that a ``Module`` node for ``__init__.py`` (which is not a ``Package``) may still exist,
+  if it is picked up during collection (e.g. if you configured :confval:`python_files` to include ``__init__.py`` files).
+
+
+- `#7777 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7777>`_: Added a new :class:`pytest.Directory` base collection node, which all collector nodes for filesystem directories are expected to subclass.
+  This is analogous to the existing :class:`pytest.File` for file nodes.
+
+  Changed :class:`pytest.Package` to be a subclass of :class:`pytest.Directory`.
+  A ``Package`` represents a filesystem directory which is a Python package,
+  i.e. contains an ``__init__.py`` file.
+
+  :class:`pytest.Package` now only collects files in its own directory; previously it collected recursively.
+  Sub-directories are collected as their own collector nodes, which then collect themselves, thus creating a collection tree which mirrors the filesystem hierarchy.
+
+  Added a new :class:`pytest.Dir` concrete collection node, a subclass of :class:`pytest.Directory`.
+  This node represents a filesystem directory, which is not a :class:`pytest.Package`,
+  that is, does not contain an ``__init__.py`` file.
+  Similarly to ``Package``, it only collects the files in its own directory.
+
+  :class:`pytest.Session` now only collects the initial arguments, without recursing into directories.
+  This work is now done by the :func:`recursive expansion process <pytest.Collector.collect>` of directory collector nodes.
+
+  :attr:`session.name <pytest.Session.name>` is now ``""``; previously it was the rootdir directory name.
+  This matches :attr:`session.nodeid <_pytest.nodes.Node.nodeid>` which has always been `""`.
+
+  The collection tree now contains directories/packages up to the :ref:`rootdir <rootdir>`,
+  for initial arguments that are found within the rootdir.
+  For files outside the rootdir, only the immediate directory/package is collected --
+  note however that collecting from outside the rootdir is discouraged.
+
+  As an example, given the following filesystem tree::
+
+      myroot/
+          pytest.ini
+          top/
+          ├── aaa
+          │   └── test_aaa.py
+          ├── test_a.py
+          ├── test_b
+          │   ├── __init__.py
+          │   └── test_b.py
+          ├── test_c.py
+          └── zzz
+              ├── __init__.py
+              └── test_zzz.py
+
+  the collection tree, as shown by `pytest --collect-only top/` but with the otherwise-hidden :class:`~pytest.Session` node added for clarity,
+  is now the following::
+
+      <Session>
+        <Dir myroot>
+          <Dir top>
+            <Dir aaa>
+              <Module test_aaa.py>
+                <Function test_it>
+            <Module test_a.py>
+              <Function test_it>
+            <Package test_b>
+              <Module test_b.py>
+                <Function test_it>
+            <Module test_c.py>
+              <Function test_it>
+            <Package zzz>
+              <Module test_zzz.py>
+                <Function test_it>
+
+  Previously, it was::
+
+      <Session>
+        <Module top/test_a.py>
+          <Function test_it>
+        <Module top/test_c.py>
+          <Function test_it>
+        <Module top/aaa/test_aaa.py>
+          <Function test_it>
+        <Package test_b>
+          <Module test_b.py>
+            <Function test_it>
+        <Package zzz>
+          <Module test_zzz.py>
+            <Function test_it>
+
+  Code/plugins which rely on a specific shape of the collection tree might need to update.
+
+
+- `#11676 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11676>`_: The classes :class:`~_pytest.nodes.Node`, :class:`~pytest.Collector`, :class:`~pytest.Item`, :class:`~pytest.File`, :class:`~_pytest.nodes.FSCollector` are now marked abstract (see :mod:`abc`).
+
+  We do not expect this change to affect users and plugin authors, it will only cause errors when the code is already wrong or problematic.
+
+
+Other breaking changes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+These are breaking changes where deprecation was not possible.
+
+
+- `#11282 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11282>`_: Sanitized the handling of the ``default`` parameter when defining configuration options.
+
+  Previously if ``default`` was not supplied for :meth:`parser.addini <pytest.Parser.addini>` and the configuration option value was not defined in a test session, then calls to :func:`config.getini <pytest.Config.getini>` returned an *empty list* or an *empty string* depending on whether ``type`` was supplied or not respectively, which is clearly incorrect. Also, ``None`` was not honored even if ``default=None`` was used explicitly while defining the option.
+
+  Now the behavior of :meth:`parser.addini <pytest.Parser.addini>` is as follows:
+
+  * If ``default`` is NOT passed but ``type`` is provided, then a type-specific default will be returned. For example ``type=bool`` will return ``False``, ``type=str`` will return ``""``, etc.
+  * If ``default=None`` is passed and the option is not defined in a test session, then ``None`` will be returned, regardless of the ``type``.
+  * If neither ``default`` nor ``type`` are provided, assume ``type=str`` and return ``""`` as default (this is as per previous behavior).
+
+  The team decided to not introduce a deprecation period for this change, as doing so would be complicated both in terms of communicating this to the community as well as implementing it, and also because the team believes this change should not break existing plugins except in rare cases.
+
+
+- `#11667 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11667>`_: pytest's ``setup.py`` file is removed.
+  If you relied on this file, e.g. to install pytest using ``setup.py install``,
+  please see `Why you shouldn't invoke setup.py directly <https://blog.ganssle.io/articles/2021/10/setup-py-deprecated.html#summary>`_ for alternatives.
+
+
+- `#9288 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9288>`_: :func:`~pytest.warns` now re-emits unmatched warnings when the context
+  closes -- previously it would consume all warnings, hiding those that were not
+  matched by the function.
+
+  While this is a new feature, we announce it as a breaking change
+  because many test suites are configured to error-out on warnings, and will
+  therefore fail on the newly-re-emitted warnings.
+
+
+- The internal ``FixtureManager.getfixtureclosure`` method has changed. Plugins which use this method or
+  which subclass ``FixtureManager`` and overwrite that method will need to adapt to the change.
+
+
+
+Deprecations
+------------
+
+- `#10465 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10465>`_: Test functions returning a value other than ``None`` will now issue a :class:`pytest.PytestWarning` instead of :class:`pytest.PytestRemovedIn8Warning`, meaning this will stay a warning instead of becoming an error in the future.
+
+
+- `#3664 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3664>`_: Applying a mark to a fixture function now issues a warning: marks in fixtures never had any effect, but it is a common user error to apply a mark to a fixture (for example ``usefixtures``) and expect it to work.
+
+  This will become an error in pytest 9.0.
+
+
+
+Features and Improvements
+-------------------------
+
+Improved Diffs
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+These changes improve the diffs that pytest prints when an assertion fails.
+Note that syntax highlighting requires the ``pygments`` package.
+
+
+- `#11520 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11520>`_: The very verbose (``-vv``) diff output is now colored as a diff instead of a big chunk of red.
+
+  Python code in error reports is now syntax-highlighted as Python.
+
+  The sections in the error reports are now better separated.
+
+
+- `#1531 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1531>`_: The very verbose diff (``-vv``) for every standard library container type is improved. The indentation is now consistent and the markers are on their own separate lines, which should reduce the diffs shown to users.
+
+  Previously, the standard Python pretty printer was used to generate the output, which puts opening and closing
+  markers on the same line as the first/last entry, in addition to not having consistent indentation.
+
+
+- `#10617 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10617>`_: Added more comprehensive set assertion rewrites for comparisons other than equality ``==``, with
+  the following operations now providing better failure messages: ``!=``, ``<=``, ``>=``, ``<``, and ``>``.
+
+
+Separate Control For Assertion Verbosity
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- `#11387 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11387>`_: Added the new :confval:`verbosity_assertions` configuration option for fine-grained control of failed assertions verbosity.
+
+  If you've ever wished that pytest always show you full diffs, but without making everything else verbose, this is for you.
+
+  See :ref:`Fine-grained verbosity <pytest.fine_grained_verbosity>` for more details.
+
+  For plugin authors, :attr:`config.get_verbosity <pytest.Config.get_verbosity>` can be used to retrieve the verbosity level for a specific verbosity type.
+
+
+Additional Support For Exception Groups and ``__notes__``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+These changes improve pytest's support for exception groups.
+
+
+- `#10441 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10441>`_: Added :func:`ExceptionInfo.group_contains() <pytest.ExceptionInfo.group_contains>`, an assertion helper that tests if an :class:`ExceptionGroup` contains a matching exception.
+
+  See :ref:`assert-matching-exception-groups` for an example.
+
+
+- `#11227 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11227>`_: Allow :func:`pytest.raises` ``match`` argument to match against `PEP-678 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0678/>` ``__notes__``.
+
+
+Custom Directory collectors
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- `#7777 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7777>`_: Added a new hook :hook:`pytest_collect_directory`,
+  which is called by filesystem-traversing collector nodes,
+  such as :class:`pytest.Session`, :class:`pytest.Dir` and :class:`pytest.Package`,
+  to create a collector node for a sub-directory.
+  It is expected to return a subclass of :class:`pytest.Directory`.
+  This hook allows plugins to :ref:`customize the collection of directories <custom directory collectors>`.
+
+
+"New-style" Hook Wrappers
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- `#11122 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11122>`_: pytest now uses "new-style" hook wrappers internally, available since pluggy 1.2.0.
+  See `pluggy's 1.2.0 changelog <https://pluggy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html#pluggy-1-2-0-2023-06-21>`_ and the :ref:`updated docs <hookwrapper>` for details.
+
+  Plugins which want to use new-style wrappers can do so if they require ``pytest>=8``.
+
+
+Other Improvements
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- `#11216 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11216>`_: If a test is skipped from inside an :ref:`xunit setup fixture <classic xunit>`, the test summary now shows the test location instead of the fixture location.
+
+
+- `#11314 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11314>`_: Logging to a file using the ``--log-file`` option will use ``--log-level``, ``--log-format`` and ``--log-date-format`` as fallback
+  if ``--log-file-level``, ``--log-file-format`` and ``--log-file-date-format`` are not provided respectively.
+
+
+- `#11610 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11610>`_: Added the :func:`LogCaptureFixture.filtering() <pytest.LogCaptureFixture.filtering>` context manager which
+  adds a given :class:`logging.Filter` object to the :fixture:`caplog` fixture.
+
+
+- `#11447 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11447>`_: :func:`pytest.deprecated_call` now also considers warnings of type :class:`FutureWarning`.
+
+
+- `#11600 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11600>`_: Improved the documentation and type signature for :func:`pytest.mark.xfail <pytest.mark.xfail>`'s ``condition`` param to use ``False`` as the default value.

+
+
+- `#11277 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11277>`_: Fixed a bug that when there are multiple fixtures for an indirect parameter,

+
+
+- `#11456 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11456>`_: Parametrized tests now *really do* ensure that the ids given to each input are unique - for
+  example, ``a, a, a0`` now results in ``a1, a2, a0`` instead of the previous (buggy) ``a0, a1, a0``.

+------------------------
+
+- `#11208 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11208>`_: The (internal) ``FixtureDef.cached_result`` type has changed.

+
+
+Collection changes in pytest 8
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Added a new :class:`pytest.Directory` base collection node, which all collector nodes for filesystem directories are expected to subclass.
+This is analogous to the existing :class:`pytest.File` for file nodes.
+
+Changed :class:`pytest.Package` to be a subclass of :class:`pytest.Directory`.
+A ``Package`` represents a filesystem directory which is a Python package,
+i.e. contains an ``__init__.py`` file.
+
+:class:`pytest.Package` now only collects files in its own directory; previously it collected recursively.
+Sub-directories are collected as sub-collector nodes, thus creating a collection tree which mirrors the filesystem hierarchy.
+
+:attr:`session.name <pytest.Session.name>` is now ``""``; previously it was the rootdir directory name.
+This matches :attr:`session.nodeid <_pytest.nodes.Node.nodeid>` which has always been `""`.
+
+Added a new :class:`pytest.Dir` concrete collection node, a subclass of :class:`pytest.Directory`.
+This node represents a filesystem directory, which is not a :class:`pytest.Package`,
+i.e. does not contain an ``__init__.py`` file.
+Similarly to ``Package``, it only collects the files in its own directory,
+while collecting sub-directories as sub-collector nodes.
+
+Files and directories are now collected in alphabetical order jointly, unless changed by a plugin.
+Previously, files were collected before directories.
+
+The collection tree now contains directories/packages up to the :ref:`rootdir <rootdir>`,
+for initial arguments that are found within the rootdir.
+For files outside the rootdir, only the immediate directory/package is collected --
+note however that collecting from outside the rootdir is discouraged.
+
+As an example, given the following filesystem tree::
+
+    myroot/
+        pytest.ini
+        top/
+        ├── aaa
+        │   └── test_aaa.py
+        ├── test_a.py
+        ├── test_b
+        │   ├── __init__.py
+        │   └── test_b.py
+        ├── test_c.py
+        └── zzz
+            ├── __init__.py
+            └── test_zzz.py
+
+the collection tree, as shown by `pytest --collect-only top/` but with the otherwise-hidden :class:`~pytest.Session` node added for clarity,
+is now the following::
+
+    <Session>
+      <Dir myroot>
+        <Dir top>
+          <Dir aaa>
+            <Module test_aaa.py>

+          <Module test_a.py>
+            <Function test_it>
+          <Package test_b>
+            <Module test_b.py>
+              <Function test_it>
+          <Module test_c.py>
+            <Function test_it>
+          <Package zzz>
+            <Module test_zzz.py>
+              <Function test_it>
+
+Previously, it was::
+
+    <Session>
+      <Module top/test_a.py>
+        <Function test_it>
+      <Module top/test_c.py>
+        <Function test_it>
+      <Module top/aaa/test_aaa.py>

+
+Code/plugins which rely on a specific shape of the collection tree might need to update.
+
+
+:class:`pytest.Package` is no longer a :class:`pytest.Module` or :class:`pytest.File`
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionchanged:: 8.0
+
+The ``Package`` collector node designates a Python package, that is, a directory with an `__init__.py` file.
+Previously ``Package`` was a subtype of ``pytest.Module`` (which represents a single Python module),
+the module being the `__init__.py` file.
+This has been deemed a design mistake (see :issue:`11137` and :issue:`7777` for details).
+
+The ``path`` property of ``Package`` nodes now points to the package directory instead of the ``__init__.py`` file.
+
+Note that a ``Module`` node for ``__init__.py`` (which is not a ``Package``) may still exist,
+if it is picked up during collection (e.g. if you configured :confval:`python_files` to include ``__init__.py`` files).
+
+
+Collecting ``__init__.py`` files no longer collects package
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionremoved:: 8.0
+
+Running `pytest pkg/__init__.py` now collects the `pkg/__init__.py` file (module) only.
+Previously, it collected the entire `pkg` package, including other test files in the directory, but excluding tests in the `__init__.py` file itself
+(unless :confval:`python_files` was changed to allow `__init__.py` file).
+
+To collect the entire package, specify just the directory: `pytest pkg`.

+
+Using a custom directory collector
+====================================================
+
+By default, pytest collects directories using :class:`pytest.Package`, for directories with ``__init__.py`` files,
+and :class:`pytest.Dir` for other directories.
+If you want to customize how a directory is collected, you can write your own :class:`pytest.Directory` collector,
+and use :hook:`pytest_collect_directory` to hook it up.
+
+.. _`directory manifest plugin`:
+
+A basic example for a directory manifest file
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Suppose you want to customize how collection is done on a per-directory basis.
+Here is an example ``conftest.py`` plugin that allows directories to contain a ``manifest.json`` file,
+which defines how the collection should be done for the directory.
+In this example, only a simple list of files is supported,
+however you can imagine adding other keys, such as exclusions and globs.

+Matching exception groups
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You can also use the :func:`excinfo.group_contains() <pytest.ExceptionInfo.group_contains>`

+
+The optional ``match`` keyword parameter works the same way as for
+:func:`pytest.raises`.
+
+By default ``group_contains()`` will recursively search for a matching
+exception at any level of nested ``ExceptionGroup`` instances. You can
+specify a ``depth`` keyword parameter if you only want to match an
+exception at a specific level; exceptions contained directly in the top
+``ExceptionGroup`` would match ``depth=1``.

+        assert not excinfo.group_contains(RuntimeError, depth=2)
+        assert not excinfo.group_contains(TypeError, depth=1)
+
+Alternate form (legacy)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+There is an alternate form where you pass
+a function that will be executed, along ``*args`` and ``**kwargs``, and :func:`pytest.raises`
+will execute the function with the arguments and assert that the given exception is raised:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def func(x):
+        if x <= 0:
+            raise ValueError("x needs to be larger than zero")
+
+
+    pytest.raises(ValueError, func, x=-1)

 pytest plugins can implement hook wrappers which wrap the execution
 of other hook implementations.  A hook wrapper is a generator function
 which yields exactly once. When pytest invokes hooks it first executes
 hook wrappers and passes the same arguments as to the regular hooks.

+it can return a new value. If the result of the underlying hook is a mutable
+object, the wrapper may modify that result, but it's probably better to avoid it.
+
+If the hook implementation failed with an exception, the wrapper can handle that

+Pytest Plugin List
+==================
 
-PyPI projects that match "pytest-\*" are considered plugins and are listed
-automatically together with a manually-maintained list in `the source
-code <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/blob/main/scripts/update-plugin-list.py>`_.
+Below is an automated compilation of ``pytest``` plugins available on `PyPI <https://pypi.org>`_.
+It includes PyPI projects whose names begin with "pytest-" and a handful of manually selected projects.
 Packages classified as inactive are excluded.
 
+For detailed insights into how this list is generated,
+please refer to `the update script <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/blob/main/scripts/update-plugin-list.py>`_.
+
+.. warning::
+
+   Please be aware that this list is not a curated collection of projects
+   and does not undergo a systematic review process.
+   It serves purely as an informational resource to aid in the discovery of ``pytest`` plugins.
+
+   Do not presume any endorsement from the ``pytest`` project or its developers,
+   and always conduct your own quality assessment before incorporating any of these plugins into your own projects.
+
+
 .. The following conditional uses a different format for this list when
    creating a PDF, because otherwise the table gets far too wide for the
    page.
