 ### Fixes
 * fixes the problem that filesystem patching was still active in the pytest
   logreport phase (see [#904](../../issues/904))
+* Restores compatibility with PyTorch 2.0 and above, as well as with other
+  classes that have custom __setattr__ methods (see [#905](../../pull/905)).
 
 ## [Version 5.3.0](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyfakefs/5.3.0) (2023-10-11)

-        Notes:
-          - If obj is an instance, then it is its class that will actually be

-            idea would probably be to manipulate obj.__dict__ instead of
