See + `this comment <https://bitbucket.org/hpk42/devpi/issues/388/support-rtd-model-for-building-uploading#comment-34292423>`_ + for more context on the motivation for this change. + +v36.0.1 +------- + +* #1042: Fix import in py27compat module that still + referenced six directly, rather than through the externs + module (vendored packages hook). + +v36.0.0 +------- + +* #980 and others: Once again, Setuptools vendors all + of its dependencies. It seems to be the case that in + the Python ecosystem, all build tools must run without + any dependencies (build, runtime, or otherwise). At + such a point that a mechanism exists that allows + build tools to have dependencies, Setuptools will adopt + it. + +v35.0.2 +------- + +* #1015: Fix test failures on Python 3.7. + +* #1024: Add workaround for Jython #2581 in monkey module. + +v35.0.1 +------- + +* #992: Revert change introduced in v34.4.1, now + considered invalid. + +* #1016: Revert change introduced in v35.0.0 per #1014, + referencing #436. The approach had unintended + consequences, causing sdist installs to be missing + files. + +v35.0.0 +------- + +* #436: In egg_info.manifest_maker, no longer read + the file list from the manifest file, and instead + re-build it on each build. In this way, files removed + from the specification will not linger in the manifest. + As a result, any files manually added to the manifest + will be removed on subsequent egg_info invocations. + No projects should be manually adding files to the + manifest and should instead use MANIFEST.in or SCM + file finders to force inclusion of files in the manifest. + +v34.4.1 +------- + +* #1008: In MSVC support, use always the last version available for Windows SDK and UCRT SDK. + +* #1008: In MSVC support, fix "vcruntime140.dll" returned path with Visual Studio 2017. + +* #992: In msvc.msvc9_query_vcvarsall, ensure the + returned dicts have str values and not Unicode for + compatibility with os.environ. + +v34.4.0 +------- + +* #995: In MSVC support, add support for "Microsoft Visual Studio 2017" and "Microsoft Visual Studio Build Tools 2017". + +* #999 via #1007: Extend support for declarative package + config in a setup.cfg file to include the options + ``python_requires`` and ``py_modules``. + +v34.3.3 +------- + +* #967 (and #997): Explicitly import submodules of + packaging to account for environments where the imports + of those submodules is not implied by other behavior. + +v34.3.2 +------- + +* #993: Fix documentation upload by correcting + rendering of content-type in _build_multipart + on Python 3. + +v34.3.1 +------- + +* #988: Trap ``os.unlink`` same as ``os.remove`` in + ``auto_chmod`` error handler. + +* #983: Fixes to invalid escape sequence deprecations on + Python 3.6. + +v34.3.0 +------- + +* #941: In the upload command, if the username is blank, + default to ``getpass.getuser()``. + +* #971: Correct distutils findall monkeypatch to match + appropriate versions (namely Python 3.4.6). + +v34.2.0 +------- + +* #966: Add support for reading dist-info metadata and + thus locating Distributions from zip files. + +* #968: Allow '+' and '!' in egg fragments + so that it can take package names that contain + PEP 440 conforming version specifiers. + +v34.1.1 +------- + +* #953: More aggressively employ the compatibility issue + originally added in #706. + +v34.1.0 +------- + +* #930: ``build_info`` now accepts two new parameters + to optimize and customize the building of C libraries. + +v34.0.3 +------- + +* #947: Loosen restriction on the version of six required, + restoring compatibility with environments relying on + six 1.6.0 and later. + +v34.0.2 +------- + +* #882: Ensure extras are honored when building the + working set. +* #913: Fix issue in develop if package directory has + a trailing slash. + +v34.0.1 +------- + +* #935: Fix glob syntax in graft. + +v34.0.0 +------- + +* #581: Instead of vendoring the growing list of + dependencies that Setuptools requires to function, + Setuptools now requires these dependencies just like + any other project. Unlike other projects, however, + Setuptools cannot rely on ``setup_requires`` to + demand the dependencies it needs to install because + its own machinery would be necessary to pull those + dependencies if not present (a bootstrapping problem). + As a result, Setuptools no longer supports self upgrade or + installation in the general case. Instead, users are + directed to use pip to install and upgrade using the + ``wheel`` distributions of setuptools. + + Users are welcome to contrive other means to install + or upgrade Setuptools using other means, such as + pre-installing the Setuptools dependencies with pip + or a bespoke bootstrap tool, but such usage is not + recommended and is not supported. + + As discovered in #940, not all versions of pip will + successfully install Setuptools from its pre-built + wheel. If you encounter issues with "No module named + six" or "No module named packaging", especially + following a line "Running setup.py egg_info for package + setuptools", then your pip is not new enough. + + There's an additional issue in pip where setuptools + is upgraded concurrently with other source packages, + described in pip #4253. The proposed workaround is to + always upgrade Setuptools first prior to upgrading + other packages that would upgrade Setuptools. + +v33.1.1 +------- + +* #921: Correct issue where certifi fallback not being + reached on Windows. + +v33.1.0 +------- + +Installation via pip, as indicated in the `Python Packaging +User's Guide <https://packaging.python.org/installing/>`_, +is the officially-supported mechanism for installing +Setuptools, and this recommendation is now explicit in the +much more concise README. + +Other edits and tweaks were made to the documentation. The +codebase is unchanged. + +v33.0.0 +------- + +* #619: Removed support for the ``tag_svn_revision`` + distribution option. If Subversion tagging support is + still desired, consider adding the functionality to + setuptools_svn in setuptools_svn #2. + +v32.3.1 +------- + +* #866: Use ``dis.Bytecode`` on Python 3.4 and later in + ``setuptools.depends``. + +v32.3.0 +------- + +* #889: Backport proposed fix for disabling interpolation in + distutils.Distribution.parse_config_files. + +v32.2.0 +------- + +* #884: Restore support for running the tests under + `pytest-runner <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-runner>`_ + by ensuring that PYTHONPATH is honored in tests invoking + a subprocess. + +v32.1.3 +------- + +* #706: Add rmtree compatibility shim for environments where + rmtree fails when passed a unicode string. + +v32.1.2 +------- + +* #893: Only release sdist in zip format as warehouse now + disallows releasing two different formats. + +v32.1.1 +------- + +* #704: More selectively ensure that 'rmtree' is not invoked with + a byte string, enabling it to remove files that are non-ascii, + even on Python 2. + +* #712: In 'sandbox.run_setup', ensure that ``__file__`` is + always a ``str``, modeling the behavior observed by the + interpreter when invoking scripts and modules. + +v32.1.0 +------- + +* #891: In 'test' command on test failure, raise DistutilsError, + suppression invocation of subsequent commands. + +v32.0.0 +------- + +* #890: Revert #849. ``global-exclude .foo`` will not match all + ``*.foo`` files any more. Package authors must add an explicit + wildcard, such as ``global-exclude *.foo``, to match all + ``.foo`` files. See #886, #849. + +v31.0.1 +------- + +* #885: Fix regression where 'pkg_resources._rebuild_mod_path' + would fail when a namespace package's '__path__' was not + a list with a sort attribute. + +v31.0.0 +------- + +* #250: Install '-nspkg.pth' files for packages installed + with 'setup.py develop'. These .pth files allow + namespace packages installed by pip or develop to + co-mingle. This change required the removal of the + change for #805 and pip #1924, introduced in 28.3.0 and implicated + in #870, but means that namespace packages not in a + site packages directory will no longer work on Python + earlier than 3.5, whereas before they would work on + Python not earlier than 3.3. + +v30.4.0 +------- + +* #879: For declarative config: + + - read_configuration() now accepts ignore_option_errors argument. This allows scraping tools to read metadata without a need to download entire packages. E.g. we can gather some stats right from GitHub repos just by downloading setup.cfg. + + - packages find: directive now supports fine tuning from a subsection. The same arguments as for find() are accepted. + +v30.3.0 +------- + +* #394 via #862: Added support for `declarative package + config in a setup.cfg file + <https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setuptools.html#configuring-setup-using-setup-cfg-files>`_. + +v30.2.1 +------- + +* #850: In test command, invoke unittest.main with + indication not to exit the process. + +v30.2.0 +------- + +* #854: Bump to vendored Packaging 16.8. + +v30.1.0 +------- + +* #846: Also trap 'socket.error' when opening URLs in + package_index. + +* #849: Manifest processing now matches the filename + pattern anywhere in the filename and not just at the + start. Restores behavior found prior to 28.5.0. + +v30.0.0 +------- + +* #864: Drop support for Python 3.2. Systems requiring + Python 3.2 support must use 'setuptools < 30'. + +* #825: Suppress warnings for single files. + +* #830 via #843: Once again restored inclusion of data + files to sdists, but now trap TypeError caused by + techniques employed rjsmin and similar. + +v29.0.1 +------- + +* #861: Re-release of v29.0.1 with the executable script + launchers bundled. Now, launchers are included by default + and users that want to disable this behavior must set the + environment variable + 'SETUPTOOLS_INSTALL_WINDOWS_SPECIFIC_FILES' to + a false value like "false" or "0". + +v29.0.0 +------- + +* #841: Drop special exception for packages invoking + win32com during the build/install process. See + Distribute #118 for history. + +v28.8.0 +------- + +* #629: Per the discussion, refine the sorting to use version + value order for more accurate detection of the latest + available version when scanning for packages. See also + #829. + +* #837: Rely on the config var "SO" for Python 3.3.0 only + when determining the ext filename. + +v28.7.1 +------- + +* #827: Update PyPI root for dependency links. + +* #833: Backed out changes from #830 as the implementation + seems to have problems in some cases. + +v28.7.0 +------- + +* #832: Moved much of the namespace package handling + functionality into a separate module for re-use in something + like #789. +* #830: ``sdist`` command no longer suppresses the inclusion + of data files, re-aligning with the expectation of distutils + and addressing #274 and #521. + +v28.6.1 +------- + +* #816: Fix manifest file list order in tests. + +v28.6.0 +------- + +* #629: When scanning for packages, ``pkg_resources`` now + ignores empty egg-info directories and gives precedence to + packages whose versions are lexicographically greatest, + a rough approximation for preferring the latest available + version. + +v28.5.0 +------- + +* #810: Tests are now invoked with tox and not setup.py test. +* #249 and #450 via #764: Avoid scanning the whole tree + when building the manifest. Also fixes a long-standing bug + where patterns in ``MANIFEST.in`` had implicit wildcard + matching. This caused ``global-exclude .foo`` to exclude + all ``*.foo`` files, but also ``global-exclude bar.py`` to + exclude ``foo_bar.py``. + +v28.4.0 +------- + +* #732: Now extras with a hyphen are honored per PEP 426. +* #811: Update to pyparsing 2.1.10. +* Updated ``setuptools.command.sdist`` to re-use most of + the functionality directly from ``distutils.command.sdist`` + for the ``add_defaults`` method with strategic overrides. + See #750 for rationale. +* #760 via #762: Look for certificate bundle where SUSE + Linux typically presents it. Use ``certifi.where()`` to locate + the bundle. + +v28.3.0 +------- + +* #809: In ``find_packages()``, restore support for excluding + a parent package without excluding a child package. + +* #805: Disable ``-nspkg.pth`` behavior on Python 3.3+ where + PEP-420 functionality is adequate. Fixes pip #1924. + +v28.1.0 +------- + +* #803: Bump certifi to 2016.9.26. + +v28.0.0 +------- + +* #733: Do not search excluded directories for packages. + This introduced a backwards incompatible change in ``find_packages()`` + so that ``find_packages(exclude=['foo']) == []``, excluding subpackages of ``foo``. + Previously, ``find_packages(exclude=['foo']) == ['foo.bar']``, + even though the parent ``foo`` package was excluded. + +* #795: Bump certifi. + +* #719: Suppress decoding errors and instead log a warning + when metadata cannot be decoded. + +v27.3.1 +------- + +* #790: In MSVC monkeypatching, explicitly patch each + function by name in the target module instead of inferring + the module from the function's ``__module__``. Improves + compatibility with other packages that might have previously + patched distutils functions (i.e. NumPy). + +v27.3.0 +------- + +* #794: In test command, add installed eggs to PYTHONPATH + when invoking tests so that subprocesses will also have the + dependencies available. Fixes `tox 330 + <https://github.com/tox-dev/tox/issues/330>`_. + +* #795: Update vendored pyparsing 2.1.9. + +v27.2.0 +------- + +* #520 and #513: Suppress ValueErrors in fixup_namespace_packages + when lookup fails. + +* Nicer, more consistent interfaces for msvc monkeypatching. + +v27.1.2 +------- + +* #779 via #781: Fix circular import. + +v27.1.1 +------- + +* #778: Fix MSVC monkeypatching. + +v27.1.0 +------- + +* Introduce the (private) ``monkey`` module to encapsulate + the distutils monkeypatching behavior. + +v27.0.0 +------- + +* Now use Warehouse by default for + ``upload``, patching ``distutils.config.PyPIRCCommand`` to + affect default behavior. + + Any config in .pypirc should be updated to replace + + https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ + + with + + https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/ + + Similarly, any passwords stored in the keyring should be + updated to use this new value for "system". + + The ``upload_docs`` command will continue to use the python.org + site, but the command is now deprecated. Users are urged to use + Read The Docs instead. + +* #776: Use EXT_SUFFIX for py_limited_api renaming. + +* #774 and #775: Use LegacyVersion from packaging when + detecting numpy versions. + +v26.1.1 +------- + +* Re-release of 26.1.0 with pytest pinned to allow for automated + deployment and thus proper packaging environment variables, + fixing issues with missing executable launchers. + +v26.1.0 +------- + +* #763: ``pkg_resources.get_default_cache`` now defers to the + `appdirs project <https://pypi.org/project/appdirs>`_ to + resolve the cache directory. Adds a vendored dependency on + appdirs to pkg_resources. + +v26.0.0 +------- + +* #748: By default, sdists are now produced in gzipped tarfile + format by default on all platforms, adding forward compatibility + for the same behavior in Python 3.6 (See Python #27819). + +* #459 via #736: On Windows with script launchers, + sys.argv[0] now reflects + the name of the entry point, consistent with the behavior in + distlib and pip wrappers. + +* #752 via #753: When indicating ``py_limited_api`` to Extension, + it must be passed as a keyword argument. + +v25.4.0 +------- + +* Add Extension(py_limited_api=True). When set to a truthy value, + that extension gets a filename appropriate for code using Py_LIMITED_API. + When used correctly this allows a single compiled extension to work on + all future versions of CPython 3. + The py_limited_api argument only controls the filename. To be + compatible with multiple versions of Python 3, the C extension + will also need to set -DPy_LIMITED_API=... and be modified to use + only the functions in the limited API. + +v25.3.0 +------- + +* #739 Fix unquoted libpaths by fixing compatibility between `numpy.distutils` and `distutils._msvccompiler` for numpy < 1.11.2 (Fix issue #728, error also fixed in Numpy). + +* #731: Bump certifi. + +* Style updates. See #740, #741, #743, #744, #742, #747. + +* #735: include license file. + +v25.2.0 +------- + +* #612 via #730: Add a LICENSE file which needs to be provided by the terms of + the MIT license. + +v25.1.6 +------- + +* #725: revert `library_dir_option` patch (Error is related to `numpy.distutils` and make errors on non Numpy users). + +v25.1.5 +------- + +* #720 +* #723: Improve patch for `library_dir_option`. + +v25.1.4 +------- + +* #717 +* #713 +* #707: Fix Python 2 compatibility for MSVC by catching errors properly. +* #715: Fix unquoted libpaths by patching `library_dir_option`. + +v25.1.3 +------- + +* #714 and #704: Revert fix as it breaks other components + downstream that can't handle unicode. See #709, #710, + and #712. + +v25.1.2 +------- + +* #704: Fix errors when installing a zip sdist that contained + files named with non-ascii characters on Windows would + crash the install when it attempted to clean up the build. +* #646: MSVC compatibility - catch errors properly in + RegistryInfo.lookup. +* #702: Prevent UnboundLocalError when initial working_set + is empty. + +v25.1.1 +------- + +* #686: Fix issue in sys.path ordering by pkg_resources when + rewrite technique is "raw". +* #699: Fix typo in msvc support. + +v25.1.0 +------- + +* #609: Setuptools will now try to download a distribution from + the next possible download location if the first download fails. + This means you can now specify multiple links as ``dependency_links`` + and all links will be tried until a working download link is encountered. + +v25.0.2 +------- + +* #688: Fix AttributeError in setup.py when invoked not from + the current directory. + +v25.0.1 +------- + +* Cleanup of setup.py script. + +* Fixed documentation builders by allowing setup.py + to be imported without having bootstrapped the + metadata. + +* More style cleanup. See #677, #678, #679, #681, #685. + +v25.0.0 +------- + +* #674: Default ``sys.path`` manipulation by easy-install.pth + is now "raw", meaning that when writing easy-install.pth + during any install operation, the ``sys.path`` will not be + rewritten and will no longer give preference to easy_installed + packages. + + To retain the old behavior when using any easy_install + operation (including ``setup.py install`` when setuptools is + present), set the environment variable: + + SETUPTOOLS_SYS_PATH_TECHNIQUE=rewrite + + This project hopes that that few if any environments find it + necessary to retain the old behavior, and intends to drop + support for it altogether in a future release.

(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 + <https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/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. + |
