+v78.0.0
+=======
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Reverted distutils changes that broke the monkey patching of command classes. (#4902)
+
+
+Deprecations and Removals
+-------------------------
+
+- Setuptools no longer accepts options containing uppercase or dash characters in ``setup.cfg``.
+  Please ensure to write the options in ``setup.cfg`` using the :wiki:`lower_snake_case <Snake_case>` convention
+  (e.g. ``Name => name``, ``install-requires => install_requires``).
+  This is a follow-up on deprecations introduced in
+  `v54.1.0 <https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/history.html#v54-1-0>`_ (see #1608) and
+  `v54.1.1 <https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/history.html#v54-1-1>`_ (see #2592).
+
+  .. note::
+     This change *does not affect configurations in* ``pyproject.toml``
+     (which uses the :wiki:`lower-kebab-case <Letter_case#Kebab_case>` convention following the precedent set in :pep:`517`/:pep:`518`). (#4870)
