Version 0.9.4

Version 0.9.4

This version supports the newly available free-threading variant of Python 3.13b1 (mostly related to skipping the stable ABI). We test this via the manylinux/musllinux images. There's also a new feature requested by third-party packagers: the ability to pass args directly to the build tool.

Features:

• Add build.tool-args by @henryiii in #733

Fixes:

• Support free-threaded builds of Python 3.13+ by @henryiii in #741
• Slightly better stable ABI behavior using PyPy by @henryiii in #741

Documentation:

• Fix example of configuration overrides in configuration.md by @wu-vincent in #739
• Update stable ABI instructions by @henryiii in #740

CI and testing:

• Use pylint 3.2, gha reporter by @henryiii in #745
• Some minor improvements to running tests on some systems by @henryiii in #741
