Depencency conflicts for sphinx 8

[docktermj]

Problem

sphinx is currently at version 8.0.2, but sphinx-rtd-theme 2.0.0 depends on sphinx >= 5 and <8. Other sphinx plugins are enabled for sphinx 8 and above giving dependency conflicts.

Reproducible Project

Run the following command in a GitHub Action on development-requirements.txt:

python -m pip install --requirement development-requirements.txt

Error Logs/Results

ERROR: Cannot install -r development-requirements.txt (line 14), -r development-requirements.txt (line 15), -r development-requirements.txt (line 17), -r development-requirements.txt (line 18) and sphinx==8.0.2 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

The conflict is caused by:
    The user requested sphinx==8.0.2
    sphinx-autodoc-typehints 2.4.0 depends on sphinx>=8.0.2
    sphinx-gallery 0.17.1 depends on sphinx>=5
    sphinx-prompt 1.9.0 depends on Sphinx<9.0.0 and >=8.0.0
    sphinx-rtd-theme 2.0.0 depends on sphinx<8 and >=5

To fix this you could try to:
1. loosen the range of package versions you've specified
2. remove package versions to allow pip to attempt to solve the dependency conflict

Hi @docktermj. We've released https://pypi.org/project/sphinx-rtd-theme/3.0.0rc1/ with support for Sphinx 8. Would you mind trying that release candidate version in your project? Feel free to provide any feedback you may have. Thanks.

[docktermj]

Sure.
