+- New resolver: Pick up hash declarations in constraints files and use them to
+  filter available distributions. (`#8792 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8792>`_)
+- New resolver: If a package appears multiple times in user specification with
+  different ``--hash`` options, only hashes that present in all specifications
+  should be allowed. (`#8839 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8839>`_)
+
