+9.0.0
+-----
+*08 March 2024*
+
+Improvements
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* Python 3.13 is supported
+* Update :mod:`tools`._unidata._category_cf from Unicodedata version 15.1.0
+* :meth:`Timestamp.nowutc()<pywikibot.time.Timestamp.nowutc>` and
+  :meth:`Timestamp.utcnow()<pywikibot.time.Timestamp.utcnow>` were added (:phab:`T337748`)
+* Remove content parameter of :meth:`proofreadpage.IndexPage.page_gen` method. (:phab:`T358635`)

+  removed.
+* Add :func:`config.base_dir<config.get_base_dir>` to scripts search path with :mod:`pwb` wrapper (:phab:`T324287`)

+* ``revisions`` parameter of :class:`xmlreader.XmlDump` was introduced to specify parsing method
+  (:phab:`T340804`)
+* Pass global -nolog argument into bot script from wrapper (:phab:`T328900`)
+* Add :meth:`site.APISite.ratelimit()<pywikibot.site._apisite.APISite.ratelimit>` method
+  and :class:`tools.collections.RateLimit` NamedTuple (:phab:`T304808`)
+* L10N and i18n updates
+* Add :class:`pagegenerators.PagePilePageGenerator` (:phab:`T353086`)
+
+Bugfixes
+^^^^^^^^
+
+* :meth:`Timestamp.now()<pywikibot.time.Timestamp.now>` and
+  :meth:`Timestamp.fromtimestamp()<pywikibot.time.Timestamp.fromtimestamp>` also returns a
+  :class:`Timestamp<pywikibot.time.Timestamp>` object with Python 3.7
+* Populate :class:`pywikibot.MediaInfo`._content with expected attributes when loaded (:phab:`T357608`)
+* Raise :exc:`exceptions.APIError` if the same error comes twice within :meth:`data.api.Request.submit` loop
+  (:phab:`T357870`)
+* Only delegate :mod:`site` methods to public :class:`family.Family` methods which have *code* as first parameter.
+* Use ``str`` instead of ``repr`` for several messages with :class:`family.Family` objects (:phab:`T356782`)
+* Add ``hy`` to special languages in :class:`textlib.TimeStripper` (:phab:`T356175`)
+* Pass login token when using ``action=login`` (:phab:`T309898`)
+* Detect range blocks with :meth:`pywikibot.User.is_blocked` (:phab:`T301282`)

+* Suppress error in :meth:`cosmetic_changes.CosmeticChangesToolkit.cleanUpLinks` (:phab:`T337045`)
+* :func:`pywikibot.input_choice` validates *default* parameter (:phab:`T353097`)
+* Remove typing imports from user-config.py file (:phab:`T352965`)
+
+Breaking changes and code cleanups
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* Cache directory was renamed from ``apicache-py3`` to ``apicache`` due to timestamp changes. (:phab:`T337748`)
+  **Warning:** Do not use Pywikibot 9+ together with Pywikibot 3.0.20181203 and below.
+* Raise ``TypeError`` instead of ``AttributeError`` in :meth:`Site.randompages()
+  <pywikibot.site._generators.GeneratorsMixin.randompages>` if *redirects* parameter is invalid.
+* A RuntimeError will be raised if a :class:`family.Family` subclass has an ``__init__`` initializer method.
+  :meth:`family.Family.__post_init__` classmethod can be used instead.
+* :class:`InteractiveReplace<bot_choice.InteractiveReplace>` was moved from :mod:`bot` to :mod:`bot_choice` module
+* ``userinterfaces.transliteration.transliterator`` was renamed to :class:`Transliterator
+  <userinterfaces.transliteration.Transliterator>`

+* ``SelfCallMixin``, ``SelfCallDict`` and ``SelfCallString`` of :mod:`tools` module were removed
+* Calling :attr:`site.BaseSite.sitename<pywikibot.site._basesite.BaseSite.sitename>` as a function
+  is no longer supported
+* ``config.register_family_file()`` function was removed
+* require ``PyMySQL >= 1.0.0`` if necessary
