Hatch 1.8.0: Managing Python with Hatch and Pi App
Hatch 1.8.0 has introduced new features to manage Python environments and projects. With Hatch, you can now manage Python itself, not just Python projects. Additionally, Pi App is a new runtime installer for Python projects, allowing them to be distributed as standalone executables.
