On the other hand, the ``[project]`` table is understood by *most* build
backends, but some build backends use a different format.

As of August 2024, Poetry_ is a notable build backend that does not use
the ``[project]`` table, it uses the ``[tool.poetry]`` table instead.
A notable exception is Poetry_, which before version 2.0 (released January
5, 2025) did not use the ``[project]`` table, it used the ``[tool.poetry]``
table instead. With version 2.0, it supports both.
Also, the setuptools_ build backend supports both the ``[project]`` table,
and the older format in ``setup.cfg`` or ``setup.py``.
