+3.6 (2020-01-09)
+--------------------------
+
+**Important:** This is the last release of PyInstaller supporting Python 2.7.
+Python 2 is end-of-life, many packages are about to `drop support for Python
+2.7 <https://python3statement.org/>`_ - or already did it.
+
+Security
+~~~~~~~~
+
+* [SECURITY] (Win32) Fix CVE-2019-16784: Local Privilege Escalation caused by
+  insecure directory permissions of sys._MEIPATH. This security fix effects all
+  Windows software frozen by PyInstaller in "onefile" mode.
+  While PyInstaller itself was not vulnerable, all Windows software frozen
+  by PyInstaller in "onefile" mode is vulnerable.
+
+  If you are using PyInstaller to freeze Windows software using "onefile"
+  mode, you should upgrade PyInstaller and rebuild your software.
+
+
+Features
+~~~~~~~~
+
+* (Windows): Applications built in windowed mode have their debug messages
+  sent to any attached debugger or DebugView instead of message boxes.
+  (:issue:`#4288`)
+* Better error message when file exists at path we want to be dir.
+  (:issue:`#4591`)
+
+
+Bugfix
+~~~~~~
+
+* (Windows) Allow usage of `VSVersionInfo` as version argument to EXE again.
+  (:issue:`#4381`, :issue:`#4539`)
+* (Windows) Fix MSYS2 dll's are not found by modulegraph. (:issue:`#4125`,
+  :issue:`#4417`)
+* (Windows) The temporary copy of bootloader used add resources, icons, etc.
+  is not created in --workpath instead of in  %TEMP%. This fixes issues on
+  systems where the anti-virus cleans %TEMP% immediatly. (:issue:`#3869`)
+* Do not fail the build when ``ldconfig`` is missing/inoperable.
+  (:issue:`#4261`)
+* Fixed loading of IPython extensions. (:issue:`#4271`)
+* Fixed pre-find-module-path hook for `distutils` to be compatible with
+  `virtualenv >= 16.3`. (:issue:`#4064`, :issue:`#4372`)

+  correct OS (Windows).
+  Hook for pywebview now bundles only the required 'lib' subdirectory.
+  (:issue:`#4375`)

+~~~~~~~~~~
+

+* (POSIX) For one-file binaries, if the program is started via a symlink, the
+  second process now keeps the basename of the symlink. (:issue:`#3823`,
+  :issue:`#3829`)
+* (Windows) If bundled with the application, proactivley load ``ucrtbase.dll``
+  before loading the Python library. This works around unresolved symbol errors
+  when loading ``python35.dll`` (or later) on legacy Windows (7, 8, 8.1)
+  systems
+  with Universal CRT update is not installed. (:issue:`#1566`, :issue:`#2170`,

+* Add our own implementation for ``strndup`` and ``strnlen`` to be used on
+  pattforms one of these is missing.

+  `base_library.zip` when using Python 3.7 (:issue:`#4096`)
+
+

+  flags actually did never work. (:issue:`#4278`)
