• #10007: Drop setuptools

Features added

• #9075: autodoc: Add a config variable :confval:autodoc_typehints_format to suppress the leading module names of typehints of function signatures (ex. io.StringIO -> StringIO)
• #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.

• #9551: html search: "Hide Search Matches" link removes "highlight" parameter from URL
• #9815: html theme: Wrap sidebar components in div to allow customizing their layout via CSS
• #9827: i18n: Sort items in glossary by translated terms
• #9899: py domain: Allows to specify cross-reference specifier (. and ~) as :type: option
• #9894: linkcheck: add option linkcheck_exclude_documents to disable link checking in matched documents.
• #9793: sphinx-build: Allow to use the parallel build feature in macOS on macOS and Python3.8+
• #10055: sphinx-build: Create directories when -w option given
• #9993: std domain: Allow to refer an inline target (ex. ``_target name```) via :rst:role:ref` role
• #9981: std domain: Strip value part of the option directive from general index
• #9391: texinfo: improve variable in samp role
• #9578: texinfo: Add :confval:texinfo_cross_references to disable cross references for readability with standalone readers
• #9822 (and #9062), add new Intersphinx role :rst:role:external for explict lookup in the external projects, without resolving to the local project.

Bugs fixed

• #9866: autodoc: doccomment for the imported class was ignored
