Description

Python 3.8 has recently hit End-Of-Life (EOL) October 7, 2024. While there's been no great need to break compatibility, upstream dependencies will dropping support and will be harder to keep in-line. By having to constrain our dependencies to versions which still support 3.8, we're making it difficult to install PSR in an environment alongside other packages when do not support 3.8 and have pinned to versions higher than we can accommodate, and this problem obviously only worsens with time.

As a result of this, the intention is to release a breaking change on July 7, 2025, after which new versions of Python Semantic Release will no longer support Python 3.8.
