++CHANGES
++=======
++
++v21.0.0
++-------
++
++* Removed ez_setup.py from Setuptools sdist. The
++ bootstrap script will be maintained in its own
++ branch and should be generally be retrieved from
++ its canonical location at
++ https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py.
++
++v20.10.0
++--------
++
++* #553: egg_info section is now generated in a
++ deterministic order, matching the order generated
++ by earlier versions of Python. Except on Python 2.6,
++ order is preserved when existing settings are present.
++* #556: Update to Packaging 16.7, restoring support
++ for deprecated ``python_implmentation`` marker.
++* #555: Upload command now prompts for a password
++ when uploading to PyPI (or other repository) if no
++ password is present in .pypirc or in the keyring.
++
++v20.9.0
++-------
++
++* #548: Update certify version to 2016.2.28
++* #545: Safely handle deletion of non-zip eggs in rotate
++ command.
++
++v20.8.1
++-------
++
++* Issue #544: Fix issue with extra environment marker
++ processing in WorkingSet due to refactor in v20.7.0.
++
++v20.8.0
++-------
++
++* Issue #543: Re-release so that latest release doesn't
++ cause déjà vu with distribute and setuptools 0.7 in
++ older environments.
++
++v20.7.0
++-------
++
++* Refactored extra enviroment marker processing
++ in WorkingSet.
++* Issue #533: Fixed intermittent test failures.
++* Issue #536: In msvc9_support, trap additional exceptions
++ that might occur when importing
++ ``distutils.msvc9compiler`` in mingw environments.
++* Issue #537: Provide better context when package
++ metadata fails to decode in UTF-8.
++
++v20.6.8
++-------
++
++* Issue #523: Restored support for environment markers,
++ now honoring 'extra' environment markers.
++
++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).
++
++1.1.3
++-----
++
++* Fix NameError in previous patch.
++
++1.1.2
++-----
++
++* Issue #69: Correct issue where 404 errors are returned for URLs with
++ fragments in them (such as #egg=).
++
++1.1.1
++-----
++
++* 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.
++
++0.9.8
++-----
++
++* Issue #53: Fix NameErrors in `_vcs_split_rev_from_url`.
++
++0.9.7
++-----
++
++* Issue #49: Correct AttributeError on PyPy where a hashlib.HASH object does
++ not have a `.name` attribute.
++* Issue #34: Documentation now refers to bootstrap script in code repository
++ referenced by bookmark.
++* Add underscore-separated keys to environment markers (markerlib).
++
++0.9.6
++-----
++
++* Issue #44: Test failure on Python 2.4 when MD5 hash doesn't have a `.name`
++ attribute.
++
++0.9.5
++-----
++
++* Python #17980: Fix security vulnerability in SSL certificate validation.
++
++0.9.4
++-----
++
++* Issue #43: Fix issue (introduced in 0.9.1) with version resolution when
++ upgrading over other releases of Setuptools.
++
++0.9.3
++-----
++
++* Issue #42: Fix new ``AttributeError`` introduced in last fix.
++
++0.9.2
++-----
++
++* Issue #42: Fix regression where blank checksums would trigger an
++ ``AttributeError``.
++
++0.9.1
++-----
++
++* 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.
++
++0.8
++---
++
++* Code base now runs on Python 2.4 - Python 3.3 without Python 2to3
++ conversion.
++
++0.7.8
++-----
++
++* Distribute #375: Yet another fix for yet another regression.
++
++0.7.7
++-----
++
++* Distribute #375: Repair AttributeError created in last release (redo).
++* Issue #30: Added test for get_cache_path.
++
++0.7.6
++-----
++
++* Distribute #375: Repair AttributeError created in last release.
++
++0.7.5
++-----
++
++* Issue #21: Restore Python 2.4 compatibility in ``test_easy_install``.
++* Distribute #375: Merged additional warning from Distribute 0.6.46.
++* Now honor the environment variable
++ ``SETUPTOOLS_DISABLE_VERSIONED_EASY_INSTALL_SCRIPT`` in addition to the now
++ deprecated ``DISTRIBUTE_DISABLE_VERSIONED_EASY_INSTALL_SCRIPT``.
++
++0.7.4
++-----
++
++* Issue #20: Fix comparison of parsed SVN version on Python 3.
++
++0.7.3
++-----
++
++* Issue #1: Disable installation of Windows-specific files on non-Windows systems.
++* Use new sysconfig module with Python 2.7 or >=3.2.
++
++0.7.2
++-----
++
++* Issue #14: Use markerlib when the `parser` module is not available.
++* Issue #10: ``ez_setup.py`` now uses HTTPS to download setuptools from PyPI.
++
++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
++------
++
++* Move warning check in ``get_cache_path`` to follow the directory creation
++ to avoid errors when the cache path does not yet exist. Fixes the error
++ reported in Distribute #375.
++
++0.6.48
++------
++
++* Correct AttributeError in ``ResourceManager.get_cache_path`` introduced in
++ 0.6.46 (redo).
++
++0.6.47
++------
++
++* Correct AttributeError in ``ResourceManager.get_cache_path`` introduced in
++ 0.6.46.
++
++0.6.46
++------
++
++* 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.
++
++0.6.33
++------
++
++* Fix 2 errors with Jython 2.5.
++* Fix 1 failure with Jython 2.5 and 2.7.
++* Disable workaround for Jython scripts on Linux systems.
++* Distribute #336: `setup.py` no longer masks failure exit code when tests fail.
++* 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 #283: Reenable scanning of `*.pyc` / `*.pyo` files on Python 3.3.
++* Distribute #299: The develop command didn't work on Python 3, when using 2to3,
++ 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)
++* Distribute #314: test_local_index() would fail an OS X.
++* Distribute #310: Non-ascii characters in a namespace __init__.py causes errors.
++* Distribute #218: Improved documentation on behavior of `package_data` and
++ `include_package_data`. Files indicated by `package_data` are now included
++ in the manifest.
++* `distribute_setup.py` now allows a `--download-base` argument for retrieving
++ distribute from a specified location.
++
++0.6.28
++------
++
++* Distribute #294: setup.py can now be invoked from any directory.

++------
++
++* Distribute #183: Symlinked files are now extracted from source distributions.
++* Distribute #227: Easy_install fetch parameters are now passed during the

++
++0.6.25
++------
++
++* Distribute #258: Workaround a cache issue

++* Distribute #147: respect the sys.dont_write_bytecode flag
++
++0.6.10
++------
++
++* Reverted change made for the DistributionNotFound exception because
++ zc.buildout uses the exception message to get the name of the
++ distribution.
++
++0.6.9
++-----
++
++* Distribute #90: unknown setuptools version can be added in the working set
++* Distribute #87: setupt.py doesn't try to convert distribute_setup.py anymore
++ Initial Patch by arfrever.
++* Distribute #89: added a side bar with a download link to the doc.

++* Distribute #70: exec bit on non-exec files
++* Distribute #99: now the standalone easy_install command doesn't uses a

++ only if triggered by ``install_requires`` from a setup.py call
++ (install, develop, etc).
++* Distribute #101: Allowing ``os.devnull`` in Sandbox
++* Distribute #92: Fixed the "no eggs" found error with MacPort
++ (platform.mac_ver() fails)
++* Distribute #103: test_get_script_header_jython_workaround not run

++ the setup script patches setuptools.
++
++0.6.8
++-----
++
++* Added "check_packages" in dist. (added in Setuptools 0.6c11)
++* Fixed the DONT_PATCH_SETUPTOOLS state.
++
++0.6.7
++-----
++
++* Distribute #58: Added --user support to the develop command
++* Distribute #11: Generated scripts now wrap their call to the script entry point
++ in the standard "if name == 'main'"
++* Added the 'DONT_PATCH_SETUPTOOLS' environment variable, so virtualenv
++ 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
++ Unladen Swallow 2009Q3.
++* Distribute #21: Allow PackageIndex.open_url to gracefully handle all cases of a
++ httplib.HTTPException instead of just InvalidURL and BadStatusLine.
++* Removed virtual-python.py from this distribution and updated documentation
++ to point to the actively maintained virtualenv instead.
++* Distribute #64: use_setuptools no longer rebuilds the distribute egg every
++ time it is run
++* use_setuptools now properly respects the requested version
++* use_setuptools will no longer try to import a distribute egg for the
++ wrong Python version
++* Distribute #74: no_fake should be True by default.
++* Distribute #72: avoid a bootstrapping issue with easy_install -U
++
++0.6.6
++-----
++
++* Unified the bootstrap file so it works on both py2.x and py3k without 2to3
++ (patch by Holger Krekel)
++
++0.6.5
++-----
++
++* 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.
++
++0.6.4
++-----
++
++* Added the generation of `distribute_setup_3k.py` during the release.
++ This closes Distribute #52.
++
++* Added an upload_docs command to easily upload project documentation to
++ PyPI's https://pythonhosted.org. This close issue Distribute #56.
++
++* Fixed a bootstrap bug on the use_setuptools() API.
++
++0.6.3
++-----
++

++
++setuptools
++==========
++
++* package_index.urlopen now catches BadStatusLine and malformed url errors.
++ This closes Distribute #16 and Distribute #18.
++
++* zip_ok is now False by default. This closes Old Setuptools #33.
++
++* Fixed invalid URL error catching. Old Setuptools #20.
++
++* Fixed invalid bootstraping with easy_install installation (Distribute #40).
++ Thanks to Florian Schulze for the help.
++
++* Removed buildout/bootstrap.py. A new repository will create a specific
++ bootstrap.py script.
++
++
++bootstrapping
++=============
++
++* The boostrap process leave setuptools alone if detected in the system
++ and --root or --prefix is provided, but is not in the same location.
++ This closes Distribute #10.
++
++0.6
++---
++
++setuptools
++==========
++
++* Packages required at build time where not fully present at install time.
++ This closes Distribute #12.
++
++* Protected against failures in tarfile extraction. This closes Distribute #10.
++

++
++easy_install
++============
++
++* Immediately close all file handles. This closes Distribute #3.
++
++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.
