CHANGES
=======
+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
+
