This major release introduces support for Python 3.12 and 3.13, and drops support for Python 3.8, following the official Python support schedule. This release also drops support for values of bundle_files<3 for Python 3.12 and newer (see #225 for further details).

Note: the former setup.py py2exe command line interface is not yet deleted, but it is most likely not functional on 3.12+ due to the lack of distutils. I will remove it as announced in an upcoming minor release.
