Plan for release of 2.7.0

[willingc]

It would be nice with the recent activity if we could cut a release before the end of the year. Some things that would need to happen:

• Fix skipped tests
• Test Python 3.13 support
• Migrate away from setup.py (pyproject.toml is now authoritative, setup.py removed in Modernize packaging to use pyproject.toml #837)
• Update changelog
• Bump version to 2.7.0 Prep 2.7.0: changelog and version bump #861
• Tag and release 2.7.0
• Upload to PyPI

Deferred to 2.8.0:

• Try to add Python 3.14 support
• Hatch migration Use hatch as build system instead of setuptools #848
• Use trusted deploy to PyPI
• Remove bumpversion (replacement: hatch-vcs in Use hatch as build system instead of setuptools #848)
• Remove legacy requirements/ files

Thanks for putting in the effort to get things moving ❤️

paperwill will soon hit 2 year mark since last release. I suggest to cut a 2.7.0 release soonish and push other open tasks to 2.8.0

What do you think?

Working on it now, thanks for the bump.
