Uv

CLI

- Allow `--python` and `--system` on `pip compile` ([3115](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/3115))
- Remove `Option<bool>` for `--no-cache` ([3129](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/3129))
- Rename `--compile` to `--compile-bytecode` ([3102](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/3102))
- Accept `0`, `1`, and similar values for Boolean environment
variables ([3113](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/3113))

Configuration

- Add `UV_REQUIRE_HASHES` environment variable ([3125](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/3125))
- Add negation flags to the CLI ([3050](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/3050))

Bug fixes

- Avoid fetching unnecessary extra versions during resolution ([3100](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/3100))
- Avoid deprioritizing recursive editables ([3133](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/3133))
- Avoid treating localhost URLs as local file paths ([3132](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/3132))
- Hide password in the index printed via `--emit-index-annotation` ([3112](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/3112))
- Restore seeding of authentication cache from index URLs ([3124](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/3124))

Breaking changes

Using the keyring requires a username to be provided on index URLs now. Previously, the username `oauth2accesstoken`
was assumed. This will affect Google Artifact Registry users using `--keyring-provider subprocess` and an index URL
without a username. The suggested fix is to add the required username to index URLs,
e.g., `https://oauth2accesstoken<url>`.

See [2976](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/2976#discussion_r1566521453) for details.
