Breaking Changes
----------------
* 3741: Removed patching of ``distutils._msvccompiler.gen_lib_options``
for compatibility with Numpy < 1.11.2 -- by :user:`mgorny`
* 3790: Bump vendored version of :pypi:`packaging` to 23.0
(:pypi:`pyparsing` is no longer required and was removed).
As a consequence, users will experience a more strict parsing of requirements.
Specifications that don't comply with :pep:`440` and :pep:`508` will result
in build errors.
