**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/cda-tum/mqt-core/compare/v2.7.0...v3.0.0

👀 What Changed

This is a pre-release for the next major version of mqt-core.
The main reason for creating a pre-release is to test the new functionality available as part of the mqt-core Python package.
The package now ships the shared libraries of all of mqt-core and makes them available to people installing the package via Python.
Given how fickle of a process the distribution of pre-built shared libraries is, some elaborate testing is in order.

**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/cda-tum/mqt-core/compare/v2.7.0...v3.0.0

👀 What Changed

Python 3.13 is out and Python 3.8 has reached end-of-life. Hence, this release drops support for Python 3.8 and includes Python 3.13 wheels (including the free-threading Python variant).

Additionally, this is the first release with Linux wheels based on `manylinux_2_28` instead of `manylinux2014`. This means generally faster performance for the package on Linux.

This is also the first release including a `uv.lock` file for reproducible, working Python environments. This includes switching from dependabot to renovate for automatically managing dependency updates.

Finally, this release contains a couple of convenience updates for MQT Core itself and its DD package.
