0.3.3

~~~~~

Released: 2021-09-22

0.3.2

~~~~~

Released: 2021-05-29

- locators

 - Fixed 141: removed unused regular expression.

- metadata

 - Fixed 140: allowed "Obsoletes" in more scenarios, to better handle faulty
   metadata already on PyPI.

- resources

 - Fixed 146: added entry for SourcelessFileLoader to the finder registry.

- scripts

 - Made the generation of scripts more configurable:

     - the ``variant_separator`` attribute can be set to determine the separator used
       between a script basename and its X.Y variant. The default value is ``'-'``
       and would result in a final script basename like ``'foo-X.Y'``, whereas
       setting it to ``''`` would result in a final script basename like
       ``'fooX.Y'``.

     - You can also subclass and override the ``get_script_filenames()`` method to
       provide a more customised set of file basenames.

- util

 - Fixed 140: allowed a trailing comma in constraints, to better handle faulty
   metadata already on PyPI.

 - Moved get_platform() logic from distutils to here.

 - Fixed 143: removed normcase() to avoid some problems on Windows.

- wheel

 - Dropped any trailing data when computing the Python tag.

 - Added support for manylinux tags.

 - Changed handling of tags for Python >= 3.10 (use 3_10 rather than 310).

 - Fixed 147: permission bits are now preserved on POSIX when installing from a
   wheel.

- tests

- Fixed 139: improved handling of errors related to the test PyPI server.

0.3.1

~~~~~

Released: 2020-06-27

The repository has been migrated to Git. References to earlier changesets (commits) in
issue comments, etc. will be invalid.

- scripts

 - Fixed 132: Added documentation to help with relative interpreter paths. Thanks
   to Paul Kienzle for the patch.

 - Fixed 134: Allowed specifying a different target Python version when generating
   scripts.

 - Fixed 135: Exposed the ``enquote_executable`` function previously implemented
   as an internal function.

 - Addressed 138: Improved metadata support for newer metadata versions. Thanks to
   James Tocknell for the patch.

- wheel

 - Changed the output of flags in entry point definitions. Thanks to frostming (明希)
   for the patch.

 - Stopped writing JSON metadata. Only old-style metadata is written now.

0.3.0

~~~~~

Released: 2019-10-29

- database

 - Issue 102 (partial): modules attribute of InstalledDistribution was
   incorrectly computed as a list of bytes, rather than a list of str. This
   has now been corrected.

- locators

 - Updated Locator._get_digest to check PyPI JSON responses for a "digests"
   dictionary before trying "algo_digest" keys. Thanks to Jeffery To for the
   patch.

- scripts

 - Fixed 123: Improved error message if a resource isn't found.

 - Fixed 124: Stopped norm-casing the executable written into shebangs, as
   it doesn't work for some non-ASCII paths.

 - Fixed 125: Updated launchers with versions that correctly report errors
   containing non-ASCII characters. The updated launchers now also support
   relative paths (see http://bit.ly/2JxmOoi for more information).

 - Changed Python version handling to accommodate versions like e.g. 3.10
   (no longer assume a version X.Y where X and Y are single digits).

- util

 - Fixed 127: Allowed hyphens in flags in export specifications.

- wheel

 - Changed Python version handling to accommodate versions like e.g. 3.10
   (no longer assume a version X.Y where X and Y are single digits).
