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 <https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/issue/3>`_: Fixed NameError in SSL support.

------
0.6.49
------

* Move warning check in ``get_cache_path`` to follow the directory creation

------
0.6.48
------

------

* `Distribute #375 <https://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/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 <https://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/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.

------

------
0.6.42
------

* External links finder no longer yields duplicate links.
* `Distribute #337 <https://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/337>`_: Moved site.py to setuptools/site-patch.py (graft of very old
  patch from setuptools trunk which inspired PR `#31 <https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/issue/31>`_).

------
0.6.41
------

* `Distribute #27 <https://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/27>`_: Use public api for loading resources from zip files rather than
  the private method `_zip_directory_cache`.

  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 <https://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/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 <https://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/371>`_: The launcher manifest file is now installed properly.

------
0.6.37
------

* `Distribute #143 <https://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/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
------

* Pull Request `#35 <https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/issue/35>`_: In `Buildout #64 <https://github.com/buildout/buildout/issues/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 <https://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/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 <https://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/341>`_: 0.6.33 fails to build under Python 2.4.

------
0.6.33
------

* Fix 2 errors with Jython 2.5.

* 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 #334 <https://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/334>`_: Provide workaround for packages that reference `sys.__stdout__`
  such as numpy does. This change should address
  `virtualenv `#359 <https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/issue/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 <https://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/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 #299 <https://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/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 <https://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/306>`_: Even if 2to3 is used, we build in-place under Python 2.
* `Distribute #307 <https://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/307>`_: Prints the full path when .svn/entries is broken.

* Added "check_packages" in dist. (added in Setuptools 0.6c11)
* Fixed the DONT_PATCH_SETUPTOOLS state.

-----
0.6.7
-----

* `Distribute #58 <https://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/58>`_: Added --user support to the develop command
* `Distribute #11 <https://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/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 <https://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/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 <https://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/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 <https://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/74>`_: no_fake should be True by default.
* `Distribute #72 <https://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/72>`_: avoid a bootstrapping issue with easy_install -U
