Jason R. Coombs (36):
      Rely on pytest as found in pytest-dev/pytest#11155. Fixes pypa/distutils#186.
      Pin against sphinx 7.2.5 as workaround for sphinx/sphinx-doc#11662. Closes jaraco/skeleton#88.
      Allow GITHUB_* settings to pass through to tests.
      Remove spinner disablement. If it's not already fixed upstream, that's where it should be fixed.
      Clean up 'color' environment variables.
      Add diff-cover check to Github Actions CI. Closes jaraco/skeleton#90.
      Add descriptions to the tox environments. Closes jaraco/skeleton#91.
      Add FORCE_COLOR to the TOX_OVERRIDE for GHA. Requires tox 4.11.1. Closes jaraco/skeleton#89.
      Prefer ``pass_env`` in tox config. Preferred failure mode for tox-dev/tox#3127 and closes jaraco/skeleton#92.
      Clean up docstrings and remove crufty comments. Replace integer literals with booleans.
      "Refactor to newer_group to utilize higher level constructs ("any"), re-use _newer logic, and avoid complexity in branching."
      Prefer os.path.getmtime
      Inline check for target presence.
      Add test for newer_pairwise, bringing coverage in dep_util to 100%.
      Replace for/append loop with a filter function (newer_pair).
      Replace explicit list check with zip(strict=True). Allows inputs to be iterables.
      Extract a 'starfilter', similar to itertools.starmap, to generalize the concept of filtering results over a sequence of tuples.
      Replace '_starfilter' with 'jaraco.functools.splat'.
      Move dep_util to _modified and mark dep_util as deprecated.
      Extend tests for newer_pairwise and fix failed expectation when no files are newer.
      Add newer_pairwise_group (inspired by setuptools.dep_util).
      Modernize test_newer_pairwise_group by using tmp_path and a SimpleNamespace.
      Remove latent references in docs.
      Limit sphinxlint jobs to 1. Workaround for sphinx-contrib/sphinx-lint#83.
      Replace git version with released version. Ref #186.
      Disable cygwin tests for now. Ref pypa/setuptools#3921
      Disable integration test due to known breakage from deprecation warnings.
      Allow diffcov to fail also, as it requires the tests to pass on the latest Python to succeed.
      Remove newsfragment
      Copy concurrency setting from setuptools
      Rely on distutils._modified and deprecated setuptools.dep_util.
      Add news fragment.
