* #10007: Drop ``setuptools``
Features added
--------------
* #9075: autodoc: Add a config variable :confval:`autodoc_typehints_format`

* #9831: Autosummary now documents only the members specified in a module's
``__all__`` attribute if :confval:`autosummary_ignore_module_all` is set to
``False``. The default behaviour is unchanged. Autogen also now supports
this behavior with the ``--respect-module-all`` switch.

from URL

layout via CSS

``~``) as ``:type:`` option

checking in matched documents.

* #9391: texinfo: improve variable in ``samp`` role
* #9578: texinfo: Add :confval:`texinfo_cross_references` to disable cross
references for readability with standalone readers
