• fix compatibility with ST dev environment
• fix stuck git/hg processes causing package updates to never finish
• attempt to improve indexer resuming reliability

Cleanups

Note: Following changes will hit those who are still running out-dated Package Control beta builds when finally decide to update.

Manual action might be needed to fix libraries.
This does not effect upgrades from Package Control 3.

• remove auto-fixing missing INSTALLER of libraries (don't convert unmanaged to managed ones anymore)
• remove auto-fixing legacy library names.

• fix active view flickering when creating Package Control Messages view in background
• fix INSTALLER not being created when installing python wheels (#1680)
• fix unmanaged libraries being upgraded automatically (#1680)
• fix default packages path detection algorithm, if users extracted Default package (#1681)

Package Control 4.0.5

• fix wrong platform-specific library being installed

Package Control 4.0.4

• fix missing python packages after manually satisfying libraries

Package Control 4.0.3

• fix distribution name escaping according to PEP491
• fix missing libraries after renaming
• ignore library releases with invalid PEP440 version
• update dependency name map

Package Control 4.0.2

• actively close zip archives after use
• hide *.sublime-package files containing .hidden-sublime-package from command palette
• optimize http cache implementation
• use python ssl module to load CA certs when using urllib on python 3.8 (reduce osscrypto usage)
• use python ssl module to verify certificate hostnames on python 3.8
• improve reliability of resuming indexer after package upgrades
• add dependency name mapping for PyYAML

Package Control 4.0.1

• improve library installation error messages
• fix ST3 compatibility of clear_package_cache command
• fix support for dependencies.json in .hidden-sublime-packages
• fix support for unpacked default packages
• fix manipulation of "installed_packages" due to failed or incomplete installation of missing packages

Package Control 4.0.0

Major Changes

• Requires at least ST3143 (3.0)

• drops support for python 2.x

• adds support for python 3.8

• Package and library version scheme changed from SemVer to PEP440
  for better pre-release handling and compatibility with python packages.

  Note: Package versions should still follow SemVer like <major>.<minor>.<micro>

• Dependencies are now called libraries.

  They are installed to Data/Libs as ordinary python packages.

  Existing managed dependencies are automatically converted.

  Can install python wheels (*.whl)

• Channel/repository scheme v1.0 and v1.2 are no longer supported
  as they contain only packages for no longer supported ST2.

• New channel/repository scheme v4.0.0 is introduced,
  which allows to specify supported python_versions.

  Parsing and installing "requirements.txt" is however not yet supported.

  For working examples checkout example-channel.json and example-repository.json
  from Package Control Github repository.

Note for Package Devs

packagecontrol.io does not yet support the new 4.0.0 scheme
and thus doesn't ship python 3.8 dependencies/libraries.

Therefore do not upgrade repositories to 4.0.0 scheme,
which are included in default channel.

You can however create your own 4.0.0 repository and
add it via 'Package Control: Add Repository'.

Metadata for python 3.8 compatible libraries are maintained at

https://github.com/packagecontrol/channel

and shipped via

https://packagecontrol.github.io/channel/channel_v4.json

so all packages can already migrate to python 3.8

Legacy dependency format has been extended to support python 3.8.

see: https://github.com/packagecontrol/example-dependency

New features include:

• support for python 3.8 dependencies (now called libraries)
• add openssl 3.0 support via asn1crypto 1.5.1 and oscrypto 1.3.0
• prune backups older than 14 days (#145)
• provide all relevant operations via ApplicationCommands (#1071)
  • Advanced Disable Packages (disable_packages)
  • Advanced Enable Packages (enable_packages)
  • Advanced Install Packages (install_packages)
  • Advanced Upgrade Packages (upgrade_packages)
  • Advanced Remove Packages (remove_packages)
• allow relative paths in channel.json and repository.json (#1329)
• hide (auto-generated?) packages via .hidden-sublime-package file (#1429)
• support for cooperate_packages (#1406, #1633)
• IntelliSense support for for channel.json/repository.json via jsonschemas
• support for asset based Github/Gitlab releases (#1484)

Bug fixes include:

• abort package operation if backup fails (#1000)
• fix long path support on Windows (#1020)
• fix missing packages not being installed if an overriding unpacked package exists (#1155)
• fix errors being displayed for git/hg tracked packages without remote (#1167)
