Bug Fixes

• #11140: Fix non-string constants at the top of file being detected as docstrings on Python>=3.8.
• #11572: Handle an edge case where sys.stderr{.interpreted-text role="data"} and sys.__stderr__{.interpreted-text role="data"} might already be closed when faulthandler{.interpreted-text role="ref"} is tearing down.
• #11710: Fixed tracebacks from collection errors not getting pruned.
• #7966: Removed unhelpful error message from assertion rewrite mechanism when exceptions are raised in __iter__ methods. Now they are treated un-iterable instead.

Improved Documentation

• #11091: Updated documentation to refer to hyphenated options: replaced --junitxml with --junit-xml and --collectonly with --collect-only.
