Require Python 3.8. As a result, the importlib-metadata package

Change color of numbers in rrt style (#2526)
Fix error when trying to look up plugin formatters by file extension of the output format (#2563)
Use Hatchling as a build backend instead of setuptools.
This change is transparent to most users. Distribution packagers who build without build isolation need to add hatchling as a build
dependency and remove setuptools. People downloading source distributions and wheels from PyPI directly should note that they now have pygments in their file names instead of Pygments. (#2573)

nord and nord-darker; #2189, #1799, #1678)Pygments now tries to use the importlib.metadata module to discover plugins instead of the slower pkg_resources (#2155). In particular, this largely speeds up the pygmentize script when the lexer is not specified.
importlib.metadata is only available in the Python standard library since Python 3.8. For older versions, there exists an importlib_metadata backport on PyPI. For this reason, Pygments now defines a packaging extra plugins, which adds a requirement on importlib_metadata if the Python version is older than 3.8. Thus, in order to install Pygments with optimal plugin support even for old Python versions, you should do:
pip install pygments[plugins]
Pygments still falls back on pkg_resources if neither importlib.metadata nor importlib_metadata is found, but it will be slower.
Silently ignore BrokenPipeError in the command-line interface (#2193).
The HtmlFormatter now uses the linespans attribute for anchorlinenos if the lineanchors attribute is unset (#2026).
The highlight, lex and format functions no longer wrongly report "argument must be a lexer/formatter instance, not a class" in some cases where this is not the actual problem (#2123).
Fix warnings in doc build (#2124).
The codetagify filter now recognizes FIXME tags by default (#2150).
The pygmentize command now recognizes if the COLORTERM environment variable is set to a value indicating that true-color support is available. In that case, it uses the TerminalTrueColorFormatter by default (#2160)
Remove redundant caches for filename patterns (#2153)
Use new non-deprecated Pillow API for text bounding box in ImageFormatter
(#2198)
Remove default_style (#930, #2183)
Stop treating DeprecationWarnings as errors in the unit tests (#2196)

<td> holding the code, but outside the <pre>. This would invariably break the a lignment with line numbers.filename is specified, a separate <tr> is emitted before the table content which contains a single <th> with colspan=2 so it

With this release, Pygments moves to a new internal testing system (#1649.) See Contributing.md for details. The main advantage of this new change is a much better test coverage of all existing example lexers. It also makes it much easier to add new test snippets.
Make guessing prefer Python 3 lexer
Do not guess MIME or SQL without reason
Changed setuptools to use a declarative config through setup.cfg. Building Pygments now requires setuptools 39.2+.
Add markdown to MarkdownLexer aliases (#1687)
Change line number handling
<table> based output, the td.linenos element will have either a normal or special class attached. Previously, only special line
numbers got a class. This prevents styles from getting applied twice - once via <pre>, once via <span class="special">. This also means
that td.linenos pre is no longer styled, instead, use td.linenos .normal and td.linenos .special.background-color: transparent and color: inherit by default. This works much better with dark styles which don't have colors set for line numbers.Remove "raw" alias from RawTokenLexer, so that it cannot be selected by alias.
