BreakingUpgrade verdict
1 breaking change.
In plain terms
- Editable installs now use a new mechanism. By default it is lenient, letting you add or remove files in the package. A strict mode is also available. Plugins that assume build subcommands do not run during editable installs, or that files are always copied to a temporary build directory, may be affected.
- Some options that were passed with --global-option should now be passed with --build-option. --global-option is reserved for flags like --verbose or --quiet.

Deprecations to plan for
Deprecated1
Passing some parameter types via --global-option to the PEP 517/PEP 660 backend is deprecated; use --build-option instead.
