+towncrier 25.8.0 (2025-08-30)
+=============================
+
+No significant changes since the previous release candidate.
+
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- Support was added for Mercurial SCM. (`#394 <https://github.com/twisted/towncrier/issues/394>`_)
+- The :command:`towncrier check` command now has a ``--staged`` flag to inspect the files staged for commit when checking for a news fragment: useful in a pre-commit hook (`#676 <https://github.com/twisted/towncrier/issues/676>`_)
+- When used with an :file:`pyproject.toml` file, when no explicit values are
+  defined for ``[tool.towncrier.name|package]`` they will now fallback to
+  the value of ``[project.name]``. (`#687 <https://github.com/twisted/towncrier/issues/687>`_)
+- The ``directory`` configuration option is no longer required.
+  It can now be generated based on value from the ``name`` configuration.
+  (`#691 <https://github.com/twisted/towncrier/issues/691>`_)
+- Added support for Python 3.13 and removed support for Python 3.8. (`#700 <https://github.com/twisted/towncrier/issues/700>`_)
+
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Multi-line news fragments that end with a code block will now have a newline inserted before appending the link to the issue, to avoid breaking formatting. (`#614 <https://github.com/twisted/towncrier/issues/614>`_)
+- Markdown header level is correctly inferred from ``title_format``. (`#695 <https://github.com/twisted/towncrier/issues/695>`_)
+
+
+Improved Documentation
+----------------------
+
+- The documentation RST source files are now included in the sdist package. (`#672 <https://github.com/twisted/towncrier/issues/672>`_)
+- Refactor the default markdown template to make it easier to understand, extend, and customize. (`#706 <https://github.com/twisted/towncrier/issues/706>`_)
+
+
+Deprecations and Removals
+-------------------------
+
+- Support for Python 3.8 was removed. (`#700 <https://github.com/twisted/towncrier/issues/700>`_)
+- When no sections are present,
+  the default Markdown template now renders the category headers as H2.
+  In previous versions it was rendered as H3. (`#663 <https://github.com/twisted/towncrier/issues/663>`_)
+
