## Releases

### v83.0.0

- Date: 2026-07-04
- Version: v83.0.0
- Original notes: https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/releases/tag/v83.0.0
- Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/setuptools/releases/v83.0.0

Features
--------

- Require Python 3.10 or later.


Bugfixes
--------

- ``MANIFEST.in`` matching (via ``FileList``) is now insensitive to Unicode
  normalization form. A pattern authored in one form (e.g. NFC, as typically
  saved by editors) now matches a file whose name is stored on disk in another
  (e.g. NFD, as produced by macOS APFS/HFS+). Previously an ``exclude``,
  ``global-exclude``, ``recursive-exclude``, or ``prune`` rule could silently
  fail to drop a non-ASCII-named file from the source distribution, publishing
  it despite the exclusion -- see GHSA-h35f-9h28-mq5c.


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

- Synced with pypa/distutils@d7633fbed including removal of dry_run support (pypa/distutils#334).
