- Treat data-only wheels as pure

0.24.0
- The python tag used for pure-python packages is now .pyN (major version only). This change actually occurred in 0.23.0 when the --python-tag option was added, but was not explicitly mentioned in the changelog then.
- wininst2wheel and egg2wheel removed. Use "wheel convert [archive]" instead.
- Wheel now supports setuptools style conditional requirements via the extras_require={} syntax. Separate 'extra' names from conditions using the : character. Wheel's own setup.py does this. (The empty-string extra is the same as install_requires.) These conditional requirements should work the same whether the package is installed by wheel or by setup.py.
0.23.0
- Compatibility tag flags added to the bdist_wheel command
- sdist should include files necessary for tests
- 'wheel convert' can now also convert unpacked eggs to wheel
- Rename pydist.json to metadata.json to avoid stepping on the PEP
- The --skip-scripts option has been removed, and not generating scripts is now the default. The option was a temporary approach until installers could generate scripts themselves. That is now the case with pip 1.5 and later. Note that using pip 1.4 to install a wheel without scripts will leave the installation without entry-point wrappers. The "wheel install-scripts" command can be used to generate the scripts in such cases.
- Thank you contributors
0.22.0
- Include entry_points.txt, scripts a.k.a. commands, in experimental pydist.json
- Improved test_requires parsing
- Python 2.6 fixes, "wheel version" command courtesy pombredanne
0.21.0
- Pregenerated scripts are the default again.
- "setup.py bdist_wheel --skip-scripts" turns them off.
- setuptools is no longer a listed requirement for the 'wheel' package. It is of course still required in order for bdist_wheel to work.
- "python -m wheel" avoids importing pkg_resources until it's necessary.
0.20.0
- No longer include console_scripts in wheels. Ordinary scripts (shell files, standalone Python files) are included as usual.
- Include new command "python -m wheel install-scripts [distribution [distribution ...]]" to install the console_scripts (setuptools-style scripts using pkg_resources) for a distribution.
0.19.0

- Include
wheel unsign
command to remove RECORD.jws from an archive. - Put the description in the newly allowed payload section of PKG-INFO (METADATA) files.
0.13.0

0.10.0
- Include a copy of pkg_resources. Wheel can now install into a virtualenv that does not have distribute (though most packages still require pkg_resources to actually work; wheel install distribute)
- Define a new setup.cfg section [wheel]. universal=1 will apply the py2.py3-none-any tag for pure python wheels.
0.9.7
- Only import dirspec when needed. dirspec is only needed to find the configuration for keygen/signing operations.
0.9.6
- requires-dist from setup.cfg overwrites any requirements from setup.py Care must be taken that the requirements are the same in both cases, or just always install from wheel.
- drop dirspec requirement on win32
- improved command line utility, adds 'wheel convert [egg or wininst]' to convert legacy binary formats to wheel
0.9.5
- Wheel's own wheel file can be executed by Python, and can install itself:
python wheel-0.9.5-py27-none-any/wheel install ...
- Use argparse; basic
wheel install
command should run with only stdlib dependencies. - Allow requires_dist in setup.cfg's [metadata] section. In addition to dependencies in setup.py, but will only be interpreted when installing from wheel, not from sdist. Can be qualified with environment markers.
0.9.4
- Fix wheel.signatures in sdist
0.9.3
- Integrated digital signatures support without C extensions.
- Integrated "wheel install" command (single package, no dependency resolution) including compatibility check.
- Support Python 3.3
- Use Metadata 1.3 (PEP 426)
0.9.2
