- Improve error message when ``pkg_resources.ZipProvider`` tries to extract resources with a missing Egg -- by :user:`Avasam`

Added variables and parameter type annotations to ``pkg_resources`` to be nearly on par with typeshed.\* -- by :user:`Avasam`

\* Excluding ``TypeVar`` and ``overload``. Return types are currently inferred. (#4246)

Bugfixes

- Prevent a ``TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable`` when ``shutil_rmtree`` is called without an ``onexc`` parameter on Python<=3.11 -- by :user:`Avasam` (#4382)

- Replace use of mktemp with can_symlink from the stdlib test suite. (#4403)

- Improvement for ``attr:`` directives in configuration to handle

more edge cases related to complex ``package_dir``. (#4405)

- Fix accidental implicit string concatenation. (#4411)

Misc

- #4365, #4422

- Support PEP 625 by canonicalizing package name and version in filenames

per

`the spec <https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/source-distribution-format/#source-distribution-file-name>`_.

Projects whose names contain uppercase characters, dashes, or periods will

now see their sdist names normalized to match the standard and the format

previously seen in wheels. For example:

- ``zope.interface`` -> ``zope_interface``

- ``CherryPy`` -> ``cherrypy``

- ``foo-bar_baz`` -> ``foo_bar_baz``

Projects are encouraged to adopt this change to align with standards and

other backend build systems. (#3593)
