-=======
-
-v20.6.7
--------
-
-* Issue #523: Disabled support for environment markers
- introduced in v20.5.
-
-v20.6.6
--------
-
-* Issue #503: Restore support for PEP 345 environment
- markers by updating to Packaging 16.6.
-
-v20.6.0
--------
-
-* New release process that relies on
- `bumpversion <https://github.com/peritus/bumpversion>`_
- and Travis CI for continuous deployment.
-* Project versioning semantics now follow
- `semver <https://semver.org>`_ precisely.
- The 'v' prefix on version numbers now also allows
- version numbers to be referenced in the changelog,
- e.g. https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/history.html#v20-6-0.
-
-20.5
-----
-
-* BB Pull Request #185: Add support for environment markers
- in requirements in install_requires, setup_requires,
- tests_require as well as adding a test for the existing
- extra_requires machinery.
-
-20.4
-----
-
-* Issue #422: Moved hosting to
- `Github <https://github.com/pypa/setuptools>`_
- from `Bitbucket <https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools>`_.
- Issues have been migrated, though all issues and comments
- are attributed to bb-migration. So if you have a particular
- issue or issues to which you've been subscribed, you will
- want to "watch" the equivalent issue in Github.
- The Bitbucket project will be retained for the indefinite
- future, but Github now hosts the canonical project repository.
-
-20.3.1
-------
-
-* Issue #519: Remove import hook when reloading the
- ``pkg_resources`` module.
-* BB Pull Request #184: Update documentation in ``pkg_resources``
- around new ``Requirement`` implementation.
-
-20.3
-----
-
-* BB Pull Request #179: ``pkg_resources.Requirement`` objects are
- now a subclass of ``packaging.requirements.Requirement``,
- allowing any environment markers and url (if any) to be
- affiliated with the requirement
-* BB Pull Request #179: Restore use of RequirementParseError
- exception unintentionally dropped in 20.2.
-
-20.2.2
-------
-
-* Issue #502: Correct regression in parsing of multiple
- version specifiers separated by commas and spaces.
-
-20.2.1
-------
-
-* Issue #499: Restore compatiblity for legacy versions
- by bumping to packaging 16.4.
-
-20.2
-----
-
-* Changelog now includes release dates and links to PEPs.
-* BB Pull Request #173: Replace dual PEP 345 _markerlib implementation
- and PEP 426 implementation of environment marker support from
- packaging 16.1 and PEP 508. Fixes Issue #122.
- See also BB Pull Request #175, BB Pull Request #168, and
- BB Pull Request #164. Additionally:
-
- - ``Requirement.parse`` no longer retains the order of extras.
- - ``parse_requirements`` now requires that all versions be
- PEP-440 compliant, as revealed in #499. Packages released
- with invalid local versions should be re-released using
- the proper local version syntax, e.g. ``mypkg-1.0+myorg.1``.
-
-20.1.1
-------
-
-* Update ``upload_docs`` command to also honor keyring
- for password resolution.
-
-20.1
-----
-
-* Added support for using passwords from keyring in the upload
- command. See `the upload docs
- <http://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html#upload-upload-source-and-or-egg-distributions-to-pypi>`_
- for details.
-
-20.0
-----
-
-* Issue #118: Once again omit the package metadata (egg-info)
- from the list of outputs in ``--record``. This version of setuptools
- can no longer be used to upgrade pip earlier than 6.0.
-
-19.7
-----
-
-* `Off-project PR <https://github.com/jaraco/setuptools/pull/32>`_:
- For FreeBSD, also honor root certificates from ca_root_nss.
-
-19.6.2
-------
-
-* Issue #491: Correct regression incurred in 19.4 where
- a double-namespace package installed using pip would
- cause a TypeError.
-
-19.6.1
-------
-
-* Restore compatibility for PyPy 3 compatibility lost in
- 19.4.1 addressing Issue #487.
-* ``setuptools.launch`` shim now loads scripts in a new
- namespace, avoiding getting relative imports from
- the setuptools package on Python 2.
-
-19.6
-----
-
-* Added a new entry script ``setuptools.launch``,
- implementing the shim found in
- ``pip.util.setuptools_build``. Use this command to launch
- distutils-only packages under setuptools in the same way that
- pip does, causing the setuptools monkeypatching of distutils
- to be invoked prior to invoking a script. Useful for debugging
- or otherwise installing a distutils-only package under
- setuptools when pip isn't available or otherwise does not
- expose the desired functionality. For example::
-
- $ python -m setuptools.launch setup.py develop
-
-* Issue #488: Fix dual manifestation of Extension class in
- extension packages installed as dependencies when Cython
- is present.
-
-19.5
-----
-
-* Issue #486: Correct TypeError when getfilesystemencoding
- returns None.
-* Issue #139: Clarified the license as MIT.
-* BB Pull Request #169: Removed special handling of command
- spec in scripts for Jython.
-
-19.4.1
-------
-
-* Issue #487: Use direct invocation of ``importlib.machinery``
- in ``pkg_resources`` to avoid missing detection on relevant
- platforms.
-
-19.4
-----
-
-* Issue #341: Correct error in path handling of package data
- files in ``build_py`` command when package is empty.
-* Distribute #323, Issue #141, Issue #207, and
- BB Pull Request #167: Another implementation of
- ``pkg_resources.WorkingSet`` and ``pkg_resources.Distribution``
- that supports replacing an extant package with a new one,
- allowing for setup_requires dependencies to supersede installed
- packages for the session.
-
-19.3
-----
-
-* Issue #229: Implement new technique for readily incorporating
- dependencies conditionally from vendored copies or primary
- locations. Adds a new dependency on six.
-
-19.2
-----
-
-* BB Pull Request #163: Add get_command_list method to Distribution.
-* BB Pull Request #162: Add missing whitespace to multiline string
- literals.
-
-19.1.1
-------
-
-* Issue #476: Cast version to string (using default encoding)
- to avoid creating Unicode types on Python 2 clients.
-* Issue #477: In Powershell downloader, use explicit rendering
- of strings, rather than rely on ``repr``, which can be
- incorrect (especially on Python 2).
-
-19.1
-----
-
-* Issue #215: The bootstrap script ``ez_setup.py`` now
- automatically detects
- the latest version of setuptools (using PyPI JSON API) rather
- than hard-coding a particular value.
-* Issue #475: Fix incorrect usage in _translate_metadata2.
-
-19.0
-----
-
-* Issue #442: Use RawConfigParser for parsing .pypirc file.
- Interpolated values are no longer honored in .pypirc files.
-
-18.8.1
-------
-
-* Issue #440: Prevent infinite recursion when a SandboxViolation
- or other UnpickleableException occurs in a sandbox context
- with setuptools hidden. Fixes regression introduced in Setuptools
- 12.0.
-
-18.8
-----
-
-* Deprecated ``egg_info.get_pkg_info_revision``.
-* Issue #471: Don't rely on repr for an HTML attribute value in
- package_index.
-* Issue #419: Avoid errors in FileMetadata when the metadata directory
- is broken.
-* Issue #472: Remove deprecated use of 'U' in mode parameter
- when opening files.
-
-18.7.1
-------
-
-* Issue #469: Refactored logic for Issue #419 fix to re-use metadata
- loading from Provider.
-
-18.7
-----
-
-* Update dependency on certify.
-* BB Pull Request #160: Improve detection of gui script in
- ``easy_install._adjust_header``.
-* Made ``test.test_args`` a non-data property; alternate fix
- for the issue reported in BB Pull Request #155.
-* Issue #453: In ``ez_setup`` bootstrap module, unload all
- ``pkg_resources`` modules following download.
-* BB Pull Request #158: Honor PEP-488 when excluding
- files for namespace packages.
-* Issue #419 and BB Pull Request #144: Add experimental support for
- reading the version info from distutils-installed metadata rather
- than using the version in the filename.
-
-18.6.1
-------
-
-* Issue #464: Correct regression in invocation of superclass on old-style
- class on Python 2.
-
-18.6
-----
-
-* Issue #439: When installing entry_point scripts under development,
- omit the version number of the package, allowing any version of the
- package to be used.
-
-18.5
-----
-
-* In preparation for dropping support for Python 3.2, a warning is
- now logged when pkg_resources is imported on Python 3.2 or earlier
- Python 3 versions.
-* `Add support for python_platform_implementation environment marker
- <https://github.com/jaraco/setuptools/pull/28>`_.
-* `Fix dictionary mutation during iteration
- <https://github.com/jaraco/setuptools/pull/29>`_.
-
-18.4
-----
-
-* Issue #446: Test command now always invokes unittest, even
- if no test suite is supplied.
-
-18.3.2
-------
-
-* Correct another regression in setuptools.findall
- where the fix for Python #12885 was lost.
-
-18.3.1
-------
-
-* Issue #425: Correct regression in setuptools.findall.
-
-18.3
-----
-
-* Setuptools now allows disabling of the manipulation of the sys.path
- during the processing of the easy-install.pth file. To do so, set
- the environment variable ``SETUPTOOLS_SYS_PATH_TECHNIQUE`` to
- anything but "rewrite" (consider "raw"). During any install operation
- with manipulation disabled, setuptools packages will be appended to
- sys.path naturally.
-
- Future versions may change the default behavior to disable
- manipulation. If so, the default behavior can be retained by setting
- the variable to "rewrite".
-
-* Issue #257: ``easy_install --version`` now shows more detail
- about the installation location and Python version.
-
-* Refactor setuptools.findall in preparation for re-submission
- back to distutils.
-
-18.2
-----
-
-* Issue #412: More efficient directory search in ``find_packages``.
-
-18.1
-----
-
-* Upgrade to vendored packaging 15.3.
-
-18.0.1
-------
-
-* Issue #401: Fix failure in test suite.
-
-18.0
-----
-
-* Dropped support for builds with Pyrex. Only Cython is supported.
-* Issue #288: Detect Cython later in the build process, after
- ``setup_requires`` dependencies are resolved.
- Projects backed by Cython can now be readily built
- with a ``setup_requires`` dependency. For example::
-
- ext = setuptools.Extension('mylib', ['src/CythonStuff.pyx', 'src/CStuff.c'])
- setuptools.setup(
- ...
- ext_modules=[ext],
- setup_requires=['cython'],
- )
-
- For compatibility with older versions of setuptools, packagers should
- still include ``src/CythonMod.c`` in the source distributions or
- require that Cython be present before building source distributions.
- However, for systems with this build of setuptools, Cython will be
- downloaded on demand.
-* Issue #396: Fixed test failure on OS X.
-* BB Pull Request #136: Remove excessive quoting from shebang headers
- for Jython.
-
-17.1.1
-------
-
-* Backed out unintended changes to pkg_resources, restoring removal of
- deprecated imp module (`ref
- <https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/commits/f572ec9563d647fa8d4ffc534f2af8070ea07a8b#comment-1881283>`_).
-
-17.1
-----
-
-* Issue #380: Add support for range operators on environment
- marker evaluation.
-
-17.0
-----
-
-* Issue #378: Do not use internal importlib._bootstrap module.
-* Issue #390: Disallow console scripts with path separators in
- the name. Removes unintended functionality and brings behavior
- into parity with pip.
-
-16.0
-----
-
-* BB Pull Request #130: Better error messages for errors in
- parsed requirements.
-* BB Pull Request #133: Removed ``setuptools.tests`` from the
- installed packages.
-* BB Pull Request #129: Address deprecation warning due to usage
- of imp module.
-
-15.2
-----
-
-* Issue #373: Provisionally expose
- ``pkg_resources._initialize_master_working_set``, allowing for
- imperative re-initialization of the master working set.
-
-15.1
-----
-
-* Updated to Packaging 15.1 to address Packaging #28.
-* Fix ``setuptools.sandbox._execfile()`` with Python 3.1.
-
-15.0
-----
-
-* BB Pull Request #126: DistributionNotFound message now lists the package or
- packages that required it. E.g.::
-
- pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'colorama>=0.3.1' distribution was not found and is required by smlib.log.
-
- Note that zc.buildout once dependended on the string rendering of this
- message to determine the package that was not found. This expectation
- has since been changed, but older versions of buildout may experience
- problems. See Buildout #242 for details.
-
-14.3.1
-------
-
-* Issue #307: Removed PEP-440 warning during parsing of versions
- in ``pkg_resources.Distribution``.
-* Issue #364: Replace deprecated usage with recommended usage of
- ``EntryPoint.load``.
-
-14.3
-----
-
-* Issue #254: When creating temporary egg cache on Unix, use mode 755
- for creating the directory to avoid the subsequent warning if
- the directory is group writable.
-
-14.2
-----
-
-* Issue #137: Update ``Distribution.hashcmp`` so that Distributions with
- None for pyversion or platform can be compared against Distributions
- defining those attributes.
-
-14.1.1
-------
-
-* Issue #360: Removed undesirable behavior from test runs, preventing
- write tests and installation to system site packages.
-
-14.1
-----
-
-* BB Pull Request #125: Add ``__ne__`` to Requirement class.
-* Various refactoring of easy_install.
-
-14.0
-----
-
-* Bootstrap script now accepts ``--to-dir`` to customize save directory or
- allow for re-use of existing repository of setuptools versions. See
- BB Pull Request #112 for background.
-* Issue #285: ``easy_install`` no longer will default to installing
- packages to the "user site packages" directory if it is itself installed
- there. Instead, the user must pass ``--user`` in all cases to install
- packages to the user site packages.
- This behavior now matches that of "pip install". To configure
- an environment to always install to the user site packages, consider
- using the "install-dir" and "scripts-dir" parameters to easy_install
- through an appropriate distutils config file.
-
-13.0.2
-------
-
-* Issue #359: Include pytest.ini in the sdist so invocation of py.test on the
- sdist honors the pytest configuration.
-
-13.0.1
-------
-
-Re-release of 13.0. Intermittent connectivity issues caused the release
-process to fail and PyPI uploads no longer accept files for 13.0.
-
-13.0
-----
-
-* Issue #356: Back out BB Pull Request #119 as it requires Setuptools 10 or later
- as the source during an upgrade.
-* Removed build_py class from setup.py. According to 892f439d216e, this
- functionality was added to support upgrades from old Distribute versions,
- 0.6.5 and 0.6.6.
-
-12.4
-----
-
-* BB Pull Request #119: Restore writing of ``setup_requires`` to metadata
- (previously added in 8.4 and removed in 9.0).
-
-12.3
-----
-
-* Documentation is now linked using the rst.linker package.
-* Fix ``setuptools.command.easy_install.extract_wininst_cfg()``
- with Python 2.6 and 2.7.
-* Issue #354. Added documentation on building setuptools
- documentation.
-
-12.2
-----
-
-* Issue #345: Unload all modules under pkg_resources during
- ``ez_setup.use_setuptools()``.
-* Issue #336: Removed deprecation from ``ez_setup.use_setuptools``,
- as it is clearly still used by buildout's bootstrap. ``ez_setup``
- remains deprecated for use by individual packages.
-* Simplified implementation of ``ez_setup.use_setuptools``.
-
-12.1
-----
-
-* BB Pull Request #118: Soften warning for non-normalized versions in
- Distribution.
-
-12.0.5
-------
-
-* Issue #339: Correct Attribute reference in ``cant_write_to_target``.
-* Issue #336: Deprecated ``ez_setup.use_setuptools``.
-
-12.0.4
-------
-
-* Issue #335: Fix script header generation on Windows.
-
-12.0.3
-------
-
-* Fixed incorrect class attribute in ``install_scripts``. Tests would be nice.
-
-12.0.2
-------
-
-* Issue #331: Fixed ``install_scripts`` command on Windows systems corrupting
- the header.
-
-12.0.1
-------
-
-* Restore ``setuptools.command.easy_install.sys_executable`` for pbr
- compatibility. For the future, tools should construct a CommandSpec
- explicitly.
-
-12.0
-----
-
-* Issue #188: Setuptools now support multiple entities in the value for
- ``build.executable``, such that an executable of "/usr/bin/env my-python" may
- be specified. This means that systems with a specified executable whose name
- has spaces in the path must be updated to escape or quote that value.
-* Deprecated ``easy_install.ScriptWriter.get_writer``, replaced by ``.best()``
- with slightly different semantics (no force_windows flag).
-
-11.3.1
-------
-
-* Issue #327: Formalize and restore support for any printable character in an
- entry point name.
-
-11.3
-----
-
-* Expose ``EntryPoint.resolve`` in place of EntryPoint._load, implementing the
- simple, non-requiring load. Deprecated all uses of ``EntryPoint._load``
- except for calling with no parameters, which is just a shortcut for
- ``ep.require(); ep.resolve();``.
-
- Apps currently invoking ``ep.load(require=False)`` should instead do the
- following if wanting to avoid the deprecating warning::
-
- getattr(ep, "resolve", lambda: ep.load(require=False))()
-
-11.2
-----
-
-* Pip #2326: Report deprecation warning at stacklevel 2 for easier diagnosis.
-
-11.1
-----
-
-* Issue #281: Since Setuptools 6.1 (Issue #268), a ValueError would be raised
- in certain cases where VersionConflict was raised with two arguments, which
- occurred in ``pkg_resources.WorkingSet.find``. This release adds support
- for indicating the dependent packages while maintaining support for
- a VersionConflict when no dependent package context is known. New unit tests
- now capture the expected interface.
-
-11.0
-----
-
-* Interop #3: Upgrade to Packaging 15.0; updates to PEP 440 so that >1.7 does
- not exclude 1.7.1 but does exclude 1.7.0 and 1.7.0.post1.
-
-10.2.1
-------
-
-* Issue #323: Fix regression in entry point name parsing.
-
-10.2
-----
-
-* Deprecated use of EntryPoint.load(require=False). Passing a boolean to a
- function to select behavior is an anti-pattern. Instead use
- ``Entrypoint._load()``.
-* Substantial refactoring of all unit tests. Tests are now much leaner and
- re-use a lot of fixtures and contexts for better clarity of purpose.
-
-10.1
-----
-
-* Issue #320: Added a compatibility implementation of
- ``sdist._default_revctrl``
- so that systems relying on that interface do not fail (namely, Ubuntu 12.04
- and similar Debian releases).
-
-10.0.1
-------
-
-* Issue #319: Fixed issue installing pure distutils packages.
-
-10.0
-----
-
-* Issue #313: Removed built-in support for subversion. Projects wishing to
- retain support for subversion will need to use a third party library. The
- extant implementation is being ported to `setuptools_svn
- <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools_svn>`_.
-* Issue #315: Updated setuptools to hide its own loaded modules during
- installation of another package. This change will enable setuptools to
- upgrade (or downgrade) itself even when its own metadata and implementation
- change.
-
-9.1
----
-
-* Prefer vendored packaging library `as recommended
- <https://github.com/jaraco/setuptools/commit/170657b68f4b92e7e1bf82f5e19a831f5744af67#commitcomment-9109448>`_.
-
-9.0.1
------
-
-* Issue #312: Restored presence of pkg_resources API tests (doctest) to sdist.
-
-9.0
----
-
-* Issue #314: Disabled support for ``setup_requires`` metadata to avoid issue
- where Setuptools was unable to upgrade over earlier versions.
-
-8.4
----
-
-* BB Pull Request #106: Now write ``setup_requires`` metadata.
-
-8.3
----
-
-* Issue #311: Decoupled pkg_resources from setuptools once again.
- ``pkg_resources`` is now a package instead of a module.
-
-8.2.1
------
-
-* Issue #306: Suppress warnings about Version format except in select scenarios
- (such as installation).
-
-8.2
----
-
-* BB Pull Request #85: Search egg-base when adding egg-info to manifest.
-
-8.1
----
-
-* Upgrade ``packaging`` to 14.5, giving preference to "rc" as designator for
- release candidates over "c".
-* PEP-440 warnings are now raised as their own class,
- ``pkg_resources.PEP440Warning``, instead of RuntimeWarning.
-* Disabled warnings on empty versions.
-
-8.0.4
------
-
-* Upgrade ``packaging`` to 14.4, fixing an error where there is a
- different result for if 2.0.5 is contained within >2.0dev and >2.0.dev even
- though normalization rules should have made them equal.
-* Issue #296: Add warning when a version is parsed as legacy. This warning will
- make it easier for developers to recognize deprecated version numbers.
-
-8.0.3
------
-
-* Issue #296: Restored support for ``__hash__`` on parse_version results.
-
-8.0.2
------
-
-* Issue #296: Restored support for ``__getitem__`` and sort operations on
- parse_version result.
-
-8.0.1
------
-
-* Issue #296: Restore support for iteration over parse_version result, but
- deprecated that usage with a warning. Fixes failure with buildout.
-
-8.0
----
-
-* Implement PEP 440 within
- pkg_resources and setuptools. This change
- deprecates some version numbers such that they will no longer be installable
- without using the ``===`` escape hatch. See `the changes to test_resources
- <https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/commits/dcd552da643c4448056de84c73d56da6d70769d5#chg-setuptools/tests/test_resources.py>`_
- for specific examples of version numbers and specifiers that are no longer
- supported. Setuptools now "vendors" the `packaging
- <https://github.com/pypa/packaging>`_ library.
-
-7.0
----
-
-* Issue #80, Issue #209: Eggs that are downloaded for ``setup_requires``,
- ``test_requires``, etc. are now placed in a ``./.eggs`` directory instead of
- directly in the current directory. This choice of location means the files
- can be readily managed (removed, ignored). Additionally,
- later phases or invocations of setuptools will not detect the package as
- already installed and ignore it for permanent install (See #209).
-
- This change is indicated as backward-incompatible as installations that
- depend on the installation in the current directory will need to account for
- the new location. Systems that ignore ``*.egg`` will probably need to be
- adapted to ignore ``.eggs``. The files will need to be manually moved or
- will be retrieved again. Most use cases will require no attention.
-
-6.1
----
-
-* Issue #268: When resolving package versions, a VersionConflict now reports
- which package previously required the conflicting version.
-
-6.0.2
------
-
-* Issue #262: Fixed regression in pip install due to egg-info directories
- being omitted. Re-opens Issue #118.
-
-6.0.1
------
-
-* Issue #259: Fixed regression with namespace package handling on ``single
- version, externally managed`` installs.
-
-6.0
----
-
-* Issue #100: When building a distribution, Setuptools will no longer match
- default files using platform-dependent case sensitivity, but rather will
- only match the files if their case matches exactly. As a result, on Windows
- and other case-insensitive file systems, files with names such as
- 'readme.txt' or 'README.TXT' will be omitted from the distribution and a
- warning will be issued indicating that 'README.txt' was not found. Other
- filenames affected are:
-
- - README.rst
- - README
- - setup.cfg
- - setup.py (or the script name)
- - test/test*.py
-
- Any users producing distributions with filenames that match those above
- case-insensitively, but not case-sensitively, should rename those files in
- their repository for better portability.
-* BB Pull Request #72: When using ``single_version_externally_managed``, the
- exclusion list now includes Python 3.2 ``__pycache__`` entries.
-* BB Pull Request #76 and BB Pull Request #78: lines in top_level.txt are now
- ordered deterministically.
-* Issue #118: The egg-info directory is now no longer included in the list
- of outputs.
-* Issue #258: Setuptools now patches distutils msvc9compiler to
- recognize the specially-packaged compiler package for easy extension module
- support on Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.2.
-
-5.8
----
-
-* Issue #237: ``pkg_resources`` now uses explicit detection of Python 2 vs.
- Python 3, supporting environments where builtins have been patched to make
- Python 3 look more like Python 2.
-
-5.7
----
-
-* Issue #240: Based on real-world performance measures against 5.4, zip
- manifests are now cached in all circumstances. The
- ``PKG_RESOURCES_CACHE_ZIP_MANIFESTS`` environment variable is no longer
- relevant. The observed "memory increase" referenced in the 5.4 release
- notes and detailed in Issue #154 was likely not an increase over the status
- quo, but rather only an increase over not storing the zip info at all.
-
-5.6
----
-
-* Issue #242: Use absolute imports in svn_utils to avoid issues if the
- installing package adds an xml module to the path.
-
-5.5.1
------
-
-* Issue #239: Fix typo in 5.5 such that fix did not take.
-
-5.5
----
-
-* Issue #239: Setuptools now includes the setup_requires directive on
- Distribution objects and validates the syntax just like install_requires
- and tests_require directives.
-
-5.4.2
------
-
-* Issue #236: Corrected regression in execfile implementation for Python 2.6.
-
-5.4.1
------
-
-* Python #7776: (ssl_support) Correct usage of host for validation when
- tunneling for HTTPS.
-
-5.4
----
-
-* Issue #154: ``pkg_resources`` will now cache the zip manifests rather than
- re-processing the same file from disk multiple times, but only if the
- environment variable ``PKG_RESOURCES_CACHE_ZIP_MANIFESTS`` is set. Clients
- that package many modules in the same zip file will see some improvement
- in startup time by enabling this feature. This feature is not enabled by
- default because it causes a substantial increase in memory usage.
-
-5.3
----
-
-* Issue #185: Make svn tagging work on the new style SVN metadata.
- Thanks cazabon!
-* Prune revision control directories (e.g .svn) from base path
- as well as sub-directories.
-
-5.2
----
-
-* Added a `Developer Guide
- <https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/developer-guide.html>`_ to the official
- documentation.
-* Some code refactoring and cleanup was done with no intended behavioral
- changes.
-* During install_egg_info, the generated lines for namespace package .pth
- files are now processed even during a dry run.
-
-5.1
----
-
-* Issue #202: Implemented more robust cache invalidation for the ZipImporter,
- building on the work in Issue #168. Special thanks to Jurko Gospodnetic and
- PJE.
-
-5.0.2
------
-
-* Issue #220: Restored script templates.
-
-5.0.1
------
-
-* Renamed script templates to end with .tmpl now that they no longer need
- to be processed by 2to3. Fixes spurious syntax errors during build/install.
-
-5.0
----
-
-* Issue #218: Re-release of 3.8.1 to signal that it supersedes 4.x.
-* Incidentally, script templates were updated not to include the triple-quote
- escaping.
-
-3.7.1 and 3.8.1 and 4.0.1
--------------------------
-
-* Issue #213: Use legacy StringIO behavior for compatibility under pbr.
-* Issue #218: Setuptools 3.8.1 superseded 4.0.1, and 4.x was removed
- from the available versions to install.
-
-4.0
----
-
-* Issue #210: ``setup.py develop`` now copies scripts in binary mode rather
- than text mode, matching the behavior of the ``install`` command.
-
-3.8
----
-
-* Extend Issue #197 workaround to include all Python 3 versions prior to
- 3.2.2.
-
-3.7
----
-
-* Issue #193: Improved handling of Unicode filenames when building manifests.
-
-3.6
----
-
-* Issue #203: Honor proxy settings for Powershell downloader in the bootstrap
- routine.
-
-3.5.2
------
-
-* Issue #168: More robust handling of replaced zip files and stale caches.
- Fixes ZipImportError complaining about a 'bad local header'.
-
-3.5.1
------
-
-* Issue #199: Restored ``install._install`` for compatibility with earlier
- NumPy versions.
-
-3.5
----
-
-* Issue #195: Follow symbolic links in find_packages (restoring behavior
- broken in 3.4).
-* Issue #197: On Python 3.1, PKG-INFO is now saved in a UTF-8 encoding instead
- of ``sys.getpreferredencoding`` to match the behavior on Python 2.6-3.4.
-* Issue #192: Preferred bootstrap location is now
- https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py (mirrored from former location).
-
-3.4.4
------
-
-* Issue #184: Correct failure where find_package over-matched packages
- when directory traversal isn't short-circuited.
-
-3.4.3
------
-
-* Issue #183: Really fix test command with Python 3.1.
-
-3.4.2
------
-
-* Issue #183: Fix additional regression in test command on Python 3.1.
-
-3.4.1
------
-
-* Issue #180: Fix regression in test command not caught by py.test-run tests.
-
-3.4
----
-
-* Issue #176: Add parameter to the test command to support a custom test
- runner: --test-runner or -r.
-* Issue #177: Now assume most common invocation to install command on
- platforms/environments without stack support (issuing a warning). Setuptools
- now installs naturally on IronPython. Behavior on CPython should be
- unchanged.
-
-3.3
----
-
-* Add ``include`` parameter to ``setuptools.find_packages()``.
-
-3.2
----
-
-* BB Pull Request #39: Add support for C++ targets from Cython ``.pyx`` files.
-* Issue #162: Update dependency on certifi to 1.0.1.
-* Issue #164: Update dependency on wincertstore to 0.2.
-
-3.1
----
-
-* Issue #161: Restore Features functionality to allow backward compatibility
- (for Features) until the uses of that functionality is sufficiently removed.
-
-3.0.2
------
-
-* Correct typo in previous bugfix.
-
-3.0.1
------
-
-* Issue #157: Restore support for Python 2.6 in bootstrap script where
- ``zipfile.ZipFile`` does not yet have support for context managers.
-
-3.0
----
-
-* Issue #125: Prevent Subversion support from creating a ~/.subversion
- directory just for checking the presence of a Subversion repository.
-* Issue #12: Namespace packages are now imported lazily. That is, the mere
- declaration of a namespace package in an egg on ``sys.path`` no longer
- causes it to be imported when ``pkg_resources`` is imported. Note that this
- change means that all of a namespace package's ``__init__.py`` files must
- include a ``declare_namespace()`` call in order to ensure that they will be
- handled properly at runtime. In 2.x it was possible to get away without
- including the declaration, but only at the cost of forcing namespace
- packages to be imported early, which 3.0 no longer does.
-* Issue #148: When building (bdist_egg), setuptools no longer adds
- ``__init__.py`` files to namespace packages. Any packages that rely on this
- behavior will need to create ``__init__.py`` files and include the
- ``declare_namespace()``.
-* Issue #7: Setuptools itself is now distributed as a zip archive in addition to
- tar archive. ez_setup.py now uses zip archive. This approach avoids the potential
- security vulnerabilities presented by use of tar archives in ez_setup.py.
- It also leverages the security features added to ZipFile.extract in Python 2.7.4.
-* Issue #65: Removed deprecated Features functionality.
-* BB Pull Request #28: Remove backport of ``_bytecode_filenames`` which is
- available in Python 2.6 and later, but also has better compatibility with
- Python 3 environments.
-* Issue #156: Fix spelling of __PYVENV_LAUNCHER__ variable.
-
-2.2
----
-
-* Issue #141: Restored fix for allowing setup_requires dependencies to
- override installed dependencies during setup.
-* Issue #128: Fixed issue where only the first dependency link was honored
- in a distribution where multiple dependency links were supplied.
-
-2.1.2
------
-
-* Issue #144: Read long_description using codecs module to avoid errors
- installing on systems where LANG=C.
-
-2.1.1
------
-
-* Issue #139: Fix regression in re_finder for CVS repos (and maybe Git repos
- as well).
-
-2.1
----
-
-* Issue #129: Suppress inspection of ``*.whl`` files when searching for files
- in a zip-imported file.
-* Issue #131: Fix RuntimeError when constructing an egg fetcher.
-
-2.0.2
------
-
-* Fix NameError during installation with Python implementations (e.g. Jython)
- not containing parser module.
-* Fix NameError in ``sdist:re_finder``.
-
-2.0.1
------
-
-* Issue #124: Fixed error in list detection in upload_docs.
-
-2.0
----
-
-* Issue #121: Exempt lib2to3 pickled grammars from DirectorySandbox.
-* Issue #41: Dropped support for Python 2.4 and Python 2.5. Clients requiring
- setuptools for those versions of Python should use setuptools 1.x.
-* Removed ``setuptools.command.easy_install.HAS_USER_SITE``. Clients
- expecting this boolean variable should use ``site.ENABLE_USER_SITE``
- instead.
-* Removed ``pkg_resources.ImpWrapper``. Clients that expected this class
- should use ``pkgutil.ImpImporter`` instead.
-
-1.4.2
------
-
-* Issue #116: Correct TypeError when reading a local package index on Python
- 3.
-
-1.4.1
------
-
-* Issue #114: Use ``sys.getfilesystemencoding`` for decoding config in
- ``bdist_wininst`` distributions.
-
-* Issue #105 and Issue #113: Establish a more robust technique for
- determining the terminal encoding::
-
- 1. Try ``getpreferredencoding``
- 2. If that returns US_ASCII or None, try the encoding from
- ``getdefaultlocale``. If that encoding was a "fallback" because Python
- could not figure it out from the environment or OS, encoding remains
- unresolved.
- 3. If the encoding is resolved, then make sure Python actually implements
- the encoding.
- 4. On the event of an error or unknown codec, revert to fallbacks
- (UTF-8 on Darwin, ASCII on everything else).
- 5. On the encoding is 'mac-roman' on Darwin, use UTF-8 as 'mac-roman' was
- a bug on older Python releases.
-
- On a side note, it would seem that the encoding only matters for when SVN
- does not yet support ``--xml`` and when getting repository and svn version
- numbers. The ``--xml`` technique should yield UTF-8 according to some
- messages on the SVN mailing lists. So if the version numbers are always
- 7-bit ASCII clean, it may be best to only support the file parsing methods
- for legacy SVN releases and support for SVN without the subprocess command
- would simple go away as support for the older SVNs does.
-
-1.4
----
-
-* Issue #27: ``easy_install`` will now use credentials from .pypirc if
- present for connecting to the package index.
-* BB Pull Request #21: Omit unwanted newlines in ``package_index._encode_auth``
- when the username/password pair length indicates wrapping.
-
-1.3.2
------
-
-* Issue #99: Fix filename encoding issues in SVN support.
-
-1.3.1
------
-
-* Remove exuberant warning in SVN support when SVN is not used.
-
-1.3
----
-
-* Address security vulnerability in SSL match_hostname check as reported in
- Python #17997.
-* Prefer `backports.ssl_match_hostname
- <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/backports.ssl_match_hostname>`_ for backport
- implementation if present.
-* Correct NameError in ``ssl_support`` module (``socket.error``).
-
-1.2
----
-
-* Issue #26: Add support for SVN 1.7. Special thanks to Philip Thiem for the
- contribution.
-* Issue #93: Wheels are now distributed with every release. Note that as
- reported in Issue #108, as of Pip 1.4, scripts aren't installed properly
- from wheels. Therefore, if using Pip to install setuptools from a wheel,
- the ``easy_install`` command will not be available.
-* Setuptools "natural" launcher support, introduced in 1.0, is now officially
- supported.
-
-1.1.7
------
-
-* Fixed behavior of NameError handling in 'script template (dev).py' (script
- launcher for 'develop' installs).
-* ``ez_setup.py`` now ensures partial downloads are cleaned up following
- a failed download.
-* Distribute #363 and Issue #55: Skip an sdist test that fails on locales
- other than UTF-8.
-
-1.1.6
------
-
-* Distribute #349: ``sandbox.execfile`` now opens the target file in binary
- mode, thus honoring a BOM in the file when compiled.
-
-1.1.5
------
-
-* Issue #69: Second attempt at fix (logic was reversed).
-
-1.1.4
------
-
-* Issue #77: Fix error in upload command (Python 2.4).

------
-
-* Issue #75: Add ``--insecure`` option to ez_setup.py to accommodate
- environments where a trusted SSL connection cannot be validated.
-* Issue #76: Fix AttributeError in upload command with Python 2.4.
-
-1.1
----
-
-* Issue #71 (Distribute #333): EasyInstall now puts less emphasis on the
- condition when a host is blocked via ``--allow-hosts``.
-* Issue #72: Restored Python 2.4 compatibility in ``ez_setup.py``.
-
-1.0
----
-
-* Issue #60: On Windows, Setuptools supports deferring to another launcher,
- such as Vinay Sajip's `pylauncher <https://bitbucket.org/pypa/pylauncher>`_
- (included with Python 3.3) to launch console and GUI scripts and not install
- its own launcher executables. This experimental functionality is currently
- only enabled if the ``SETUPTOOLS_LAUNCHER`` environment variable is set to
- "natural". In the future, this behavior may become default, but only after
- it has matured and seen substantial adoption. The ``SETUPTOOLS_LAUNCHER``
- also accepts "executable" to force the default behavior of creating launcher
- executables.
-* Issue #63: Bootstrap script (ez_setup.py) now prefers Powershell, curl, or
- wget for retrieving the Setuptools tarball for improved security of the
- install. The script will still fall back to a simple ``urlopen`` on
- platforms that do not have these tools.
-* Issue #65: Deprecated the ``Features`` functionality.
-* Issue #52: In ``VerifyingHTTPSConn``, handle a tunnelled (proxied)
- connection.
-
-Backward-Incompatible Changes
-=============================
-
-This release includes a couple of backward-incompatible changes, but most if
-not all users will find 1.0 a drop-in replacement for 0.9.
-
-* Issue #50: Normalized API of environment marker support. Specifically,
- removed line number and filename from SyntaxErrors when returned from
- `pkg_resources.invalid_marker`. Any clients depending on the specific
- string representation of exceptions returned by that function may need to
- be updated to account for this change.
-* Issue #50: SyntaxErrors generated by `pkg_resources.invalid_marker` are
- normalized for cross-implementation consistency.
-* Removed ``--ignore-conflicts-at-my-risk`` and ``--delete-conflicting``
- options to easy_install. These options have been deprecated since 0.6a11.

------
-
-* Distribute #386: Allow other positional and keyword arguments to os.open.
-* Corrected dependency on certifi mis-referenced in 0.9.
-
-0.9
----
-
-* `package_index` now validates hashes other than MD5 in download links.

-
-0.7.7
------
-
-* Distribute #375: Repair AttributeError created in last release (redo).

-
-0.7.1
------
-
-* Fix NameError (Issue #3) again - broken in bad merge.
-
-0.7
----
-
-* Merged Setuptools and Distribute. See docs/merge.txt for details.
-
-Added several features that were slated for setuptools 0.6c12:
-
-* Index URL now defaults to HTTPS.
-* Added experimental environment marker support. Now clients may designate a
- PEP-426 environment marker for "extra" dependencies. Setuptools uses this
- feature in ``setup.py`` for optional SSL and certificate validation support
- on older platforms. Based on Distutils-SIG discussions, the syntax is
- somewhat tentative. There should probably be a PEP with a firmer spec before
- the feature should be considered suitable for use.
-* Added support for SSL certificate validation when installing packages from
- an HTTPS service.
-
-0.7b4
------
-
-* Issue #3: Fixed NameError in SSL support.
-
-0.6.49
-------
-

-* Distribute #375: Issue a warning if the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE or otherwise
- customized egg cache location specifies a directory that's group- or
- world-writable.
-
-0.6.45
-------
-
-* Distribute #379: ``distribute_setup.py`` now traps VersionConflict as well,
- restoring ability to upgrade from an older setuptools version.
-
-0.6.44
-------
-
-* ``distribute_setup.py`` has been updated to allow Setuptools 0.7 to
- satisfy use_setuptools.
-
-0.6.43
-------
-
-* Distribute #378: Restore support for Python 2.4 Syntax (regression in 0.6.42).
-
-0.6.42
-------
-
-* External links finder no longer yields duplicate links.
-* Distribute #337: Moved site.py to setuptools/site-patch.py (graft of very old
- patch from setuptools trunk which inspired PR #31).
-
-0.6.41
-------
-
-* Distribute #27: Use public api for loading resources from zip files rather than
- the private method `_zip_directory_cache`.
-* Added a new function ``easy_install.get_win_launcher`` which may be used by
- third-party libraries such as buildout to get a suitable script launcher.
-
-0.6.40
-------
-
-* Distribute #376: brought back cli.exe and gui.exe that were deleted in the
- previous release.
-
-0.6.39
-------
-
-* Add support for console launchers on ARM platforms.
-* Fix possible issue in GUI launchers where the subsystem was not supplied to
- the linker.
-* Launcher build script now refactored for robustness.
-* Distribute #375: Resources extracted from a zip egg to the file system now also
- check the contents of the file against the zip contents during each
- invocation of get_resource_filename.
-
-0.6.38
-------
-
-* Distribute #371: The launcher manifest file is now installed properly.
-
-0.6.37
-------
-
-* Distribute #143: Launcher scripts, including easy_install itself, are now
- accompanied by a manifest on 32-bit Windows environments to avoid the
- Installer Detection Technology and thus undesirable UAC elevation described
- in `this Microsoft article
- <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc709628%28WS.10%29.aspx>`_.
-
-0.6.36
-------
-
-* BB Pull Request #35: In Buildout #64, it was reported that
- under Python 3, installation of distutils scripts could attempt to copy
- the ``__pycache__`` directory as a file, causing an error, apparently only
- under Windows. Easy_install now skips all directories when processing
- metadata scripts.
-
-0.6.35
-------
-
-
-Note this release is backward-incompatible with distribute 0.6.23-0.6.34 in
-how it parses version numbers.
-
-* Distribute #278: Restored compatibility with distribute 0.6.22 and setuptools
- 0.6. Updated the documentation to match more closely with the version
- parsing as intended in setuptools 0.6.
-
-0.6.34
-------
-
-* Distribute #341: 0.6.33 fails to build under Python 2.4.

-* Fix issue in pkg_resources where try/except around a platform-dependent
- import would trigger hook load failures on Mercurial. See pull request 32
- for details.
-* Distribute #341: Fix a ResourceWarning.
-
-0.6.32
-------
-
-* Fix test suite with Python 2.6.
-* Fix some DeprecationWarnings and ResourceWarnings.
-* Distribute #335: Backed out `setup_requires` superceding installed requirements
- until regression can be addressed.
-
-0.6.31
-------
-
-* Distribute #303: Make sure the manifest only ever contains UTF-8 in Python 3.
-* Distribute #329: Properly close files created by tests for compatibility with
- Jython.
-* Work around Jython #1980 and Jython #1981.
-* Distribute #334: Provide workaround for packages that reference `sys.__stdout__`
- such as numpy does. This change should address
- `virtualenv #359 <https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/359>`_ as long
- as the system encoding is UTF-8 or the IO encoding is specified in the
- environment, i.e.::
-
- PYTHONIOENCODING=utf8 pip install numpy
-
-* Fix for encoding issue when installing from Windows executable on Python 3.
-* Distribute #323: Allow `setup_requires` requirements to supercede installed
- requirements. Added some new keyword arguments to existing pkg_resources
- methods. Also had to updated how __path__ is handled for namespace packages
- to ensure that when a new egg distribution containing a namespace package is
- placed on sys.path, the entries in __path__ are found in the same order they
- would have been in had that egg been on the path when pkg_resources was
- first imported.
-
-0.6.30
-------
-
-* Distribute #328: Clean up temporary directories in distribute_setup.py.
-* Fix fatal bug in distribute_setup.py.
-
-0.6.29
-------

-* Merged pull request #23 to fix https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/301.
-* If Sphinx is installed, the `upload_docs` command now runs `build_sphinx`

- as the egg link would go to the Python 2 source. Linking to the 2to3'd code
- in build/lib makes it work, although you will have to rebuild the module
- before testing it.
-* Distribute #306: Even if 2to3 is used, we build in-place under Python 2.
-* Distribute #307: Prints the full path when .svn/entries is broken.
-* Distribute #313: Support for sdist subcommands (Python 2.7)

- can drive an installation that doesn't patch a global setuptools.
-* Reviewed unladen-swallow specific change from
- http://code.google.com/p/unladen-swallow/source/detail?spec=svn875&r=719
- and determined that it no longer applies. Distribute should work fine with

- httplib.HTTPException instead of just InvalidURL and BadStatusLine.
-* Removed virtual-python.py from this distribution and updated documentation

-
-* Distribute #65: cli.exe and gui.exe are now generated at build time,
- depending on the platform in use.
-
-* Distribute #67: Fixed doc typo (PEP 381/PEP 382).
-
-* Distribute no longer shadows setuptools if we require a 0.7-series
- setuptools. And an error is raised when installing a 0.7 setuptools with
- distribute.
-
-* When run from within buildout, no attempt is made to modify an existing
- setuptools egg, whether in a shared egg directory or a system setuptools.
-
-* Fixed a hole in sandboxing allowing builtin file to write outside of
- the sandbox.
-

------
-
-* Added the generation of `distribute_setup_3k.py` during the release.
- This closes Distribute #52.
-

-
-0.6c9
------
-
- * Fixed a missing files problem when using Windows source distributions on
- non-Windows platforms, due to distutils not handling manifest file line
- endings correctly.
-
- * Updated Pyrex support to work with Pyrex 0.9.6 and higher.
-
- * Minor changes for Jython compatibility, including skipping tests that can't
- work on Jython.
-
- * Fixed not installing eggs in ``install_requires`` if they were also used for
- ``setup_requires`` or ``tests_require``.
-
- * Fixed not fetching eggs in ``install_requires`` when running tests.
-
- * Allow ``ez_setup.use_setuptools()`` to upgrade existing setuptools
- installations when called from a standalone ``setup.py``.
-
- * Added a warning if a namespace package is declared, but its parent package
- is not also declared as a namespace.
-
- * Support Subversion 1.5
-
- * Removed use of deprecated ``md5`` module if ``hashlib`` is available
-
- * Fixed ``bdist_wininst upload`` trying to upload the ``.exe`` twice
-
- * Fixed ``bdist_egg`` putting a ``native_libs.txt`` in the source package's
- ``.egg-info``, when it should only be in the built egg's ``EGG-INFO``.
-
- * Ensure that _full_name is set on all shared libs before extensions are
- checked for shared lib usage. (Fixes a bug in the experimental shared
- library build support.)
-
- * Fix to allow unpacked eggs containing native libraries to fail more
- gracefully under Google App Engine (with an ``ImportError`` loading the
- C-based module, instead of getting a ``NameError``).
-
-0.6c7
------
-
- * Fixed ``distutils.filelist.findall()`` crashing on broken symlinks, and
- ``egg_info`` command failing on new, uncommitted SVN directories.
-
- * Fix import problems with nested namespace packages installed via
- ``--root`` or ``--single-version-externally-managed``, due to the
- parent package not having the child package as an attribute.
-
-0.6c6
------
-
- * Added ``--egg-path`` option to ``develop`` command, allowing you to force
- ``.egg-link`` files to use relative paths (allowing them to be shared across
- platforms on a networked drive).
-
- * Fix not building binary RPMs correctly.
-
- * Fix "eggsecutables" (such as setuptools' own egg) only being runnable with
- bash-compatible shells.
-
- * Fix ``#!`` parsing problems in Windows ``.exe`` script wrappers, when there
- was whitespace inside a quoted argument or at the end of the ``#!`` line
- (a regression introduced in 0.6c4).
-
- * Fix ``test`` command possibly failing if an older version of the project
- being tested was installed on ``sys.path`` ahead of the test source
- directory.
-
- * Fix ``find_packages()`` treating ``ez_setup`` and directories with ``.`` in
- their names as packages.
-
-0.6c5
------
-
- * Fix uploaded ``bdist_rpm`` packages being described as ``bdist_egg``
- packages under Python versions less than 2.5.
-
- * Fix uploaded ``bdist_wininst`` packages being described as suitable for
- "any" version by Python 2.5, even if a ``--target-version`` was specified.
-
-0.6c4
------
-
- * Overhauled Windows script wrapping to support ``bdist_wininst`` better.
- Scripts installed with ``bdist_wininst`` will always use ``#!python.exe`` or
- ``#!pythonw.exe`` as the executable name (even when built on non-Windows
- platforms!), and the wrappers will look for the executable in the script's
- parent directory (which should find the right version of Python).
-
- * Fix ``upload`` command not uploading files built by ``bdist_rpm`` or
- ``bdist_wininst`` under Python 2.3 and 2.4.
-
- * Add support for "eggsecutable" headers: a ``#!/bin/sh`` script that is
- prepended to an ``.egg`` file to allow it to be run as a script on Unix-ish
- platforms. (This is mainly so that setuptools itself can have a single-file
- installer on Unix, without doing multiple downloads, dealing with firewalls,
- etc.)
-
- * Fix problem with empty revision numbers in Subversion 1.4 ``entries`` files
-
- * Use cross-platform relative paths in ``easy-install.pth`` when doing
- ``develop`` and the source directory is a subdirectory of the installation
- target directory.
-
- * Fix a problem installing eggs with a system packaging tool if the project
- contained an implicit namespace package; for example if the ``setup()``
- listed a namespace package ``foo.bar`` without explicitly listing ``foo``
- as a namespace package.
-
-0.6c3
------
-
- * Fixed breakages caused by Subversion 1.4's new "working copy" format
-
-0.6c2
------
-
- * The ``ez_setup`` module displays the conflicting version of setuptools (and
- its installation location) when a script requests a version that's not
- available.
-
- * Running ``setup.py develop`` on a setuptools-using project will now install
- setuptools if needed, instead of only downloading the egg.
-
-0.6c1
------
-
- * Fixed ``AttributeError`` when trying to download a ``setup_requires``
- dependency when a distribution lacks a ``dependency_links`` setting.
-
- * Made ``zip-safe`` and ``not-zip-safe`` flag files contain a single byte, so
- as to play better with packaging tools that complain about zero-length
- files.
-
- * Made ``setup.py develop`` respect the ``--no-deps`` option, which it
- previously was ignoring.
-
- * Support ``extra_path`` option to ``setup()`` when ``install`` is run in
- backward-compatibility mode.
-
- * Source distributions now always include a ``setup.cfg`` file that explicitly
- sets ``egg_info`` options such that they produce an identical version number
- to the source distribution's version number. (Previously, the default
- version number could be different due to the use of ``--tag-date``, or if
- the version was overridden on the command line that built the source
- distribution.)
-
-0.6b4
------
-
- * Fix ``register`` not obeying name/version set by ``egg_info`` command, if
- ``egg_info`` wasn't explicitly run first on the same command line.
-
- * Added ``--no-date`` and ``--no-svn-revision`` options to ``egg_info``
- command, to allow suppressing tags configured in ``setup.cfg``.
-
- * Fixed redundant warnings about missing ``README`` file(s); it should now
- appear only if you are actually a source distribution.
-
-0.6b3
------
-
- * Fix ``bdist_egg`` not including files in subdirectories of ``.egg-info``.
-
- * Allow ``.py`` files found by the ``include_package_data`` option to be
- automatically included. Remove duplicate data file matches if both
- ``include_package_data`` and ``package_data`` are used to refer to the same
- files.
-
-0.6b1
------
-
- * Strip ``module`` from the end of compiled extension modules when computing
- the name of a ``.py`` loader/wrapper. (Python's import machinery ignores
- this suffix when searching for an extension module.)
-
-0.6a11
-------
-
- * Added ``test_loader`` keyword to support custom test loaders
-
- * Added ``setuptools.file_finders`` entry point group to allow implementing
- revision control plugins.
-
- * Added ``--identity`` option to ``upload`` command.
-
- * Added ``dependency_links`` to allow specifying URLs for ``--find-links``.
-
- * Enhanced test loader to scan packages as well as modules, and call
- ``additional_tests()`` if present to get non-unittest tests.
-
- * Support namespace packages in conjunction with system packagers, by omitting
- the installation of any ``__init__.py`` files for namespace packages, and
- adding a special ``.pth`` file to create a working package in
- ``sys.modules``.
-
- * Made ``--single-version-externally-managed`` automatic when ``--root`` is
- used, so that most system packagers won't require special support for
- setuptools.
-
- * Fixed ``setup_requires``, ``tests_require``, etc. not using ``setup.cfg`` or
- other configuration files for their option defaults when installing, and
- also made the install use ``--multi-version`` mode so that the project
- directory doesn't need to support .pth files.
-
- * ``MANIFEST.in`` is now forcibly closed when any errors occur while reading
- it. Previously, the file could be left open and the actual error would be
- masked by problems trying to remove the open file on Windows systems.
-
-0.6a10
-------
-
- * Fixed the ``develop`` command ignoring ``--find-links``.
-
-0.6a9
------
-
- * The ``sdist`` command no longer uses the traditional ``MANIFEST`` file to
- create source distributions. ``MANIFEST.in`` is still read and processed,
- as are the standard defaults and pruning. But the manifest is built inside
- the project's ``.egg-info`` directory as ``SOURCES.txt``, and it is rebuilt
- every time the ``egg_info`` command is run.
-
- * Added the ``include_package_data`` keyword to ``setup()``, allowing you to
- automatically include any package data listed in revision control or
- ``MANIFEST.in``
-
- * Added the ``exclude_package_data`` keyword to ``setup()``, allowing you to
- trim back files included via the ``package_data`` and
- ``include_package_data`` options.
-
- * Fixed ``--tag-svn-revision`` not working when run from a source
- distribution.
-
- * Added warning for namespace packages with missing ``declare_namespace()``
-
- * Added ``tests_require`` keyword to ``setup()``, so that e.g. packages
- requiring ``nose`` to run unit tests can make this dependency optional
- unless the ``test`` command is run.
-
- * Made all commands that use ``easy_install`` respect its configuration
- options, as this was causing some problems with ``setup.py install``.
-
- * Added an ``unpack_directory()`` driver to ``setuptools.archive_util``, so
- that you can process a directory tree through a processing filter as if it
- were a zipfile or tarfile.
-
- * Added an internal ``install_egg_info`` command to use as part of old-style
- ``install`` operations, that installs an ``.egg-info`` directory with the
- package.
-
- * Added a ``--single-version-externally-managed`` option to the ``install``
- command so that you can more easily wrap a "flat" egg in a system package.
-
- * Enhanced ``bdist_rpm`` so that it installs single-version eggs that
- don't rely on a ``.pth`` file. The ``--no-egg`` option has been removed,
- since all RPMs are now built in a more backwards-compatible format.
-
- * Support full roundtrip translation of eggs to and from ``bdist_wininst``
- format. Running ``bdist_wininst`` on a setuptools-based package wraps the
- egg in an .exe that will safely install it as an egg (i.e., with metadata
- and entry-point wrapper scripts), and ``easy_install`` can turn the .exe
- back into an ``.egg`` file or directory and install it as such.
-
-
-0.6a8
------
-
- * Fixed some problems building extensions when Pyrex was installed, especially
- with Python 2.4 and/or packages using SWIG.
-
- * Made ``develop`` command accept all the same options as ``easy_install``,
- and use the ``easy_install`` command's configuration settings as defaults.
-
- * Made ``egg_info --tag-svn-revision`` fall back to extracting the revision
- number from ``PKG-INFO`` in case it is being run on a source distribution of
- a snapshot taken from a Subversion-based project.
-
- * Automatically detect ``.dll``, ``.so`` and ``.dylib`` files that are being
- installed as data, adding them to ``native_libs.txt`` automatically.
-
- * Fixed some problems with fresh checkouts of projects that don't include
- ``.egg-info/PKG-INFO`` under revision control and put the project's source
- code directly in the project directory. If such a package had any
- requirements that get processed before the ``egg_info`` command can be run,
- the setup scripts would fail with a "Missing 'Version:' header and/or
- PKG-INFO file" error, because the egg runtime interpreted the unbuilt
- metadata in a directory on ``sys.path`` (i.e. the current directory) as
- being a corrupted egg. Setuptools now monkeypatches the distribution
- metadata cache to pretend that the egg has valid version information, until
- it has a chance to make it actually be so (via the ``egg_info`` command).
-
-0.6a5
------
-
- * Fixed missing gui/cli .exe files in distribution. Fixed bugs in tests.
-
-0.6a3
------
-
- * Added ``gui_scripts`` entry point group to allow installing GUI scripts
- on Windows and other platforms. (The special handling is only for Windows;
- other platforms are treated the same as for ``console_scripts``.)
-
-0.6a2
------
-
- * Added ``console_scripts`` entry point group to allow installing scripts
- without the need to create separate script files. On Windows, console
- scripts get an ``.exe`` wrapper so you can just type their name. On other
- platforms, the scripts are written without a file extension.
-
-0.6a1

- * Added support for building "old-style" RPMs that don't install an egg for
- the target package, using a ``--no-egg`` option.
-
- * The ``build_ext`` command now works better when using the ``--inplace``
- option and multiple Python versions. It now makes sure that all extensions
- match the current Python version, even if newer copies were built for a
- different Python version.
-
- * The ``upload`` command no longer attaches an extra ``.zip`` when uploading
- eggs, as PyPI now supports egg uploads without trickery.
-
- * The ``ez_setup`` script/module now displays a warning before downloading
- the setuptools egg, and attempts to check the downloaded egg against an
- internal MD5 checksum table.
-
- * Fixed the ``--tag-svn-revision`` option of ``egg_info`` not finding the
- latest revision number; it was using the revision number of the directory
- containing ``setup.py``, not the highest revision number in the project.
-
- * Added ``eager_resources`` setup argument
-
- * The ``sdist`` command now recognizes Subversion "deleted file" entries and
- does not include them in source distributions.
-
- * ``setuptools`` now embeds itself more thoroughly into the distutils, so that
- other distutils extensions (e.g. py2exe, py2app) will subclass setuptools'
- versions of things, rather than the native distutils ones.
-
- * Added ``entry_points`` and ``setup_requires`` arguments to ``setup()``;
- ``setup_requires`` allows you to automatically find and download packages
- that are needed in order to *build* your project (as opposed to running it).
-
- * ``setuptools`` now finds its commands, ``setup()`` argument validators, and
- metadata writers using entry points, so that they can be extended by
- third-party packages. See `Creating distutils Extensions
- <http://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html#creating-distutils-extensions>`_
- for more details.
-
- * The vestigial ``depends`` command has been removed. It was never finished
- or documented, and never would have worked without EasyInstall - which it
- pre-dated and was never compatible with.
-
-0.5a12
-------
-
- * The zip-safety scanner now checks for modules that might be used with
- ``python -m``, and marks them as unsafe for zipping, since Python 2.4 can't
- handle ``-m`` on zipped modules.
-
-0.5a11
-------
-
- * Fix breakage of the "develop" command that was caused by the addition of
- ``--always-unzip`` to the ``easy_install`` command.
-
-0.5a9
------
-
- * Include ``svn:externals`` directories in source distributions as well as
- normal subversion-controlled files and directories.
-
- * Added ``exclude=patternlist`` option to ``setuptools.find_packages()``
-
- * Changed --tag-svn-revision to include an "r" in front of the revision number
- for better readability.
-
- * Added ability to build eggs without including source files (except for any
- scripts, of course), using the ``--exclude-source-files`` option to
- ``bdist_egg``.
-
- * ``setup.py install`` now automatically detects when an "unmanaged" package
- or module is going to be on ``sys.path`` ahead of a package being installed,
- thereby preventing the newer version from being imported. If this occurs,
- a warning message is output to ``sys.stderr``, but installation proceeds
- anyway. The warning message informs the user what files or directories
- need deleting, and advises them they can also use EasyInstall (with the
- ``--delete-conflicting`` option) to do it automatically.
-
- * The ``egg_info`` command now adds a ``top_level.txt`` file to the metadata
- directory that lists all top-level modules and packages in the distribution.
- This is used by the ``easy_install`` command to find possibly-conflicting
- "unmanaged" packages when installing the distribution.
-
- * Added ``zip_safe`` and ``namespace_packages`` arguments to ``setup()``.
- Added package analysis to determine zip-safety if the ``zip_safe`` flag
- is not given, and advise the author regarding what code might need changing.
-
- * Fixed the swapped ``-d`` and ``-b`` options of ``bdist_egg``.
-
-0.5a8
------
-
- * The "egg_info" command now always sets the distribution metadata to "safe"
- forms of the distribution name and version, so that distribution files will
- be generated with parseable names (i.e., ones that don't include '-' in the
- name or version). Also, this means that if you use the various ``--tag``
- options of "egg_info", any distributions generated will use the tags in the
- version, not just egg distributions.
-
- * Added support for defining command aliases in distutils configuration files,
- under the "[aliases]" section. To prevent recursion and to allow aliases to
- call the command of the same name, a given alias can be expanded only once
- per command-line invocation. You can define new aliases with the "alias"
- command, either for the local, global, or per-user configuration.
-
- * Added "rotate" command to delete old distribution files, given a set of
- patterns to match and the number of files to keep. (Keeps the most
- recently-modified distribution files matching each pattern.)
-
- * Added "saveopts" command that saves all command-line options for the current
- invocation to the local, global, or per-user configuration file. Useful for
- setting defaults without having to hand-edit a configuration file.
-
- * Added a "setopt" command that sets a single option in a specified distutils
- configuration file.
-
-0.5a7
------
-
- * Added "upload" support for egg and source distributions, including a bug
- fix for "upload" and a temporary workaround for lack of .egg support in
- PyPI.
-
-0.5a6
------
-
- * Beefed up the "sdist" command so that if you don't have a MANIFEST.in, it
- will include all files under revision control (CVS or Subversion) in the
- current directory, and it will regenerate the list every time you create a
- source distribution, not just when you tell it to. This should make the
- default "do what you mean" more often than the distutils' default behavior
- did, while still retaining the old behavior in the presence of MANIFEST.in.
-
- * Fixed the "develop" command always updating .pth files, even if you
- specified ``-n`` or ``--dry-run``.
-
- * Slightly changed the format of the generated version when you use
- ``--tag-build`` on the "egg_info" command, so that you can make tagged
- revisions compare *lower* than the version specified in setup.py (e.g. by
- using ``--tag-build=dev``).
-
-0.5a5
------
-
- * Added ``develop`` command to ``setuptools``-based packages. This command
- installs an ``.egg-link`` pointing to the package's source directory, and
- script wrappers that ``execfile()`` the source versions of the package's
- scripts. This lets you put your development checkout(s) on sys.path without
- having to actually install them. (To uninstall the link, use
- use ``setup.py develop --uninstall``.)
-
- * Added ``egg_info`` command to ``setuptools``-based packages. This command
- just creates or updates the "projectname.egg-info" directory, without
- building an egg. (It's used by the ``bdist_egg``, ``test``, and ``develop``
- commands.)
-
- * Enhanced the ``test`` command so that it doesn't install the package, but
- instead builds any C extensions in-place, updates the ``.egg-info``
- metadata, adds the source directory to ``sys.path``, and runs the tests
- directly on the source. This avoids an "unmanaged" installation of the
- package to ``site-packages`` or elsewhere.
-
- * Made ``easy_install`` a standard ``setuptools`` command, moving it from
- the ``easy_install`` module to ``setuptools.command.easy_install``. Note
- that if you were importing or extending it, you must now change your imports
- accordingly. ``easy_install.py`` is still installed as a script, but not as
- a module.
-
-0.5a4
------
-
- * Setup scripts using setuptools can now list their dependencies directly in
- the setup.py file, without having to manually create a ``depends.txt`` file.
- The ``install_requires`` and ``extras_require`` arguments to ``setup()``
- are used to create a dependencies file automatically. If you are manually
- creating ``depends.txt`` right now, please switch to using these setup
- arguments as soon as practical, because ``depends.txt`` support will be
- removed in the 0.6 release cycle. For documentation on the new arguments,
- see the ``setuptools.dist.Distribution`` class.
-
- * Setup scripts using setuptools now always install using ``easy_install``
- internally, for ease of uninstallation and upgrading.
-
-0.5a1
------
-
- * Added support for "self-installation" bootstrapping. Packages can now
- include ``ez_setup.py`` in their source distribution, and add the following
- to their ``setup.py``, in order to automatically bootstrap installation of
- setuptools as part of their setup process::
-
- from ez_setup import use_setuptools
- use_setuptools()
-
- from setuptools import setup
- # etc...
-
-0.4a2
------
-
- * Added ``ez_setup.py`` installer/bootstrap script to make initial setuptools
- installation easier, and to allow distributions using setuptools to avoid
- having to include setuptools in their source distribution.
-
- * All downloads are now managed by the ``PackageIndex`` class (which is now
- subclassable and replaceable), so that embedders can more easily override
- download logic, give download progress reports, etc. The class has also
- been moved to the new ``setuptools.package_index`` module.
-
- * The ``Installer`` class no longer handles downloading, manages a temporary
- directory, or tracks the ``zip_ok`` option. Downloading is now handled
- by ``PackageIndex``, and ``Installer`` has become an ``easy_install``
- command class based on ``setuptools.Command``.
-
- * There is a new ``setuptools.sandbox.run_setup()`` API to invoke a setup
- script in a directory sandbox, and a new ``setuptools.archive_util`` module
- with an ``unpack_archive()`` API. These were split out of EasyInstall to
- allow reuse by other tools and applications.
-
- * ``setuptools.Command`` now supports reinitializing commands using keyword
- arguments to set/reset options. Also, ``Command`` subclasses can now set
- their ``command_consumes_arguments`` attribute to ``True`` in order to
- receive an ``args`` option containing the rest of the command line.
-
-0.3a2
------
-
- * Added new options to ``bdist_egg`` to allow tagging the egg's version number
- with a subversion revision number, the current date, or an explicit tag
- value. Run ``setup.py bdist_egg --help`` to get more information.
-
- * Misc. bug fixes
-
-0.3a1
------
-
- * Initial release.
