0.10.0

• New image output format. format = "image" builds no installer:
  the run-in-place image tree is archived as
  <name>-<version>-<target>.zip (Windows targets) or .tar.gz
  (Linux/macOS targets).

0.9.0

• uv projects now export PEP 751 pylock.toml instead of requirements.txt. Per-package index pins in uv.lock (e.g. a PyTorch CUDA index) survive the export — pip fetches the recorded URLs directly.
• MSI builds no longer fail on deep install trees (WiX MAX_PATH limit).
• pipenv extras no longer drop production dependencies.
• The Windows launcher ignores Ctrl+C/Ctrl+Break. Python alone decides how to shut down (finally blocks, atexit hooks, and buffered output are preserved) and its real exit code propagates, as with CPython’s py.exe launcher.
• .pyc files use hash-based invalidation. Timestamp-based .pyc went stale after MSI packaging (CAB timestamps have 2-second granularity), causing recompiles on every cold start; --invalidation-mode checked-hash makes validity independent of timestamps.
• perMachine MSI shortcuts register their keypath under HKLM. It was hardcoded to HKCU, breaking repair and upgrade component-detection for users other than the installing admin.

0.8.0

• Only the installer is emitted in dist/. The portable .zip (MSI/MSIX) and the .tar.{gz,bz2,xz} (Linux/macOS) are no longer produced — each target now ships just its installer (.msi/.msix/.run). The --no-zip build option is removed.

• Faster .run payload compression. gzip and xz payloads are now compressed through the external gzip/xz commands when available (xz -T0 uses every core) at presets tuned for build speed, falling back to Python's built-in single-threaded codecs otherwise.

0.7.0

• POSIX launchers are isolated from the host’s PYTHON* environment.

0.6.0

• Windows launchers no longer orphan their python child.

0.5.0

• Non-ASCII launcher and app names on Windows
• More robust MSVC toolchain discovery.

0.4.0

Highlights

• Build intermediates and final artifacts now live in separate trees (breaking). Intermediates go to .appdist-build/<target>/ and shippable packages to appdist/<target>/dist/. New --build-dir / --appdist-dir options replace the removed --out-dir. A full build wipes the per-target intermediates first for a clean build.
• Same-version MSI upgrades. New MSI key allow-same-version-upgrades (default false) emits AllowSameVersionUpgrades="yes" on the WiX MajorUpgrade. MSI-only.
