* **BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE** Switched to using wheels for the bundled copies of
setuptools and pip. Using sdists is no longer supported - users supplying
their own versions of pip/setuptools will need to provide wheels.
* **BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE** Modified the handling of ``--extra-search-dirs``.
This option now works like pip's ``--find-links`` option, in that it adds
extra directories to search for compatible wheels for pip and setuptools.
The actual wheel selected is chosen based on version and compatibility, using
the same algorithm as ``pip install setuptools``.

-----------------
* **BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE** Dropped support for Python 2.5. The minimum
supported Python version is now Python 2.6.
* **BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE** Using ``virtualenv.py`` as an isolated script
(i.e. without an associated ``virtualenv_support`` directory) is no longer
supported for security reasons and will fail with an error.
Along with this, ``--never-download`` is now always pinned to ``True``, and
is only being maintained in the short term for backward compatibility
(Pull #412).
* **IMPORTANT** Switched to the new setuptools (v0.9.7) which has been merged
with Distribute_ again and works for Python 2 and 3 with one codebase.
The ``--distribute`` and ``--setuptools`` options are now no-op.
* Updated to pip 1.4.
* Added support for PyPy3k
* Added the option to use a version number with the ``-p`` option to get the
system copy of that Python version (Windows only)

``distribute_from_egg.py`` files as part of switching to merged setuptools.
* Fixed ``--relocatable`` to work better on Windows.
* Fixed issue with readline on Windows.
.. _Distribute: https://pypi.org/project/distribute

* Made 64bit detection compatible with Python 2.5 (Pull #393).
1.8.4 (2012-11-25)
------------------
* Updated distribute to 0.6.31. This fixes #359 (numpy install regression) on
UTF-8 platforms, and provides a workaround on other platforms:
``PYTHONIOENCODING=utf8 pip install numpy``.
* When installing virtualenv via curl, don't forget to filter out arguments
the distribute setup script won't understand. Fixes #358.
* Added some more integration tests.

------------------
* Updated to distribute 0.6.27.
* Fix activate.fish on OS X. Fixes #8. Thanks David Schoonover.
* Create a virtualenv-x.x script with the Python version when installing, so
virtualenv for multiple Python versions can be installed to the same
script location. Thanks Miki Tebeka.
* Restored ability to create a virtualenv with a path longer than 78
characters, without breaking creation of virtualenvs with non-ASCII paths.
Thanks, Bradley Ayers.

Napoleone for testing and confirmation. Fixes #87.
* Fixed creation of virtualenvs using -p in installs where some modules
that ought to be in the standard library (e.g. ``readline``) are actually
installed in ``site-packages`` next to ``virtualenv.py``. Thanks Greg Haskins
for report and fix. Fixes #167.
* Added activation script for Powershell (signed by Jannis Leidel). Many
thanks to Jason R. Coombs.
1.7 (2011-11-30)
----------------
* Gave user-provided ``--extra-search-dir`` priority over default dirs for
finding setuptools/distribute (it already had priority for finding pip).
Thanks Ethan Jucovy.
* Updated embedded Distribute release to 0.6.24. Thanks Alex Gronholm.
* Made ``--no-site-packages`` behavior the default behavior. The
``--no-site-packages`` flag is still permitted, but displays a warning when
used. Thanks Chris McDonough.
* New flag: ``--system-site-packages``; this flag should be passed to get the
previous default global-site-package-including behavior back.

-----
* Fix for Mac OS X Framework builds that use
``--universal-archs=intel``
* Fix ``activate_this.py`` on Windows.
* Allow ``$PYTHONHOME`` to be set, so long as you use ``source
bin/activate`` it will get unset; if you leave it set and do not

-----
* Fix pip installation on Windows
* Fix use of stand-alone ``virtualenv.py`` (and boot scripts)

Mac OS X to fix a hang on Snow Leopard (10.6).
* Fail more gracefully on Windows when ``win32api`` is not installed.
* Fix site-packages taking precedent over Jython's ``__classpath__``
and also specially handle the new ``__pyclasspath__`` entry in
``sys.path``.
* Now copies Jython's ``registry`` file to the virtualenv if it exists.
* Better find libraries when compiling extensions on Windows.
* Create ``Scripts\pythonw.exe`` on Windows.
* Added support for the Debian/Ubuntu
``/usr/lib/pythonX.Y/dist-packages`` directory.
* Set ``distutils.sysconfig.get_config_vars()['LIBDIR']`` (based on
``sys.real_prefix``) which is reported to help building on Windows.
* Make ``deactivate`` work on ksh
* Fixes for ``--python``: make it work with ``--relocatable`` and the
symlink created to the exact Python version.
1.3.3
-----
* Use Windows newlines in ``activate.bat``, which has been reported to help
when using non-ASCII directory names.
* Fixed compatibility with Jython 2.5b1.
* Added a function ``virtualenv.install_python`` for more fine-grained
access to what ``virtualenv.create_environment`` does.
* Fix `a problem <https://bugs.launchpad.net/virtualenv/+bug/241581>`_
with Windows and paths that contain spaces.
* If ``/path/to/env/.pydistutils.cfg`` exists (or
``/path/to/env/pydistutils.cfg`` on Windows systems) then ignore
``~/.pydistutils.cfg`` and use that other file instead.
* Fix ` a problem
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/virtualenv/+bug/340050>`_ picking up
some ``.so`` libraries in ``/usr/local``.
1.3.2
-----
* Remove the ``[install] prefix = ...`` setting from the virtualenv
``distutils.cfg`` -- this has been causing problems for a lot of
people, in rather obscure ways.
* If you use a boot script it will attempt to import ``virtualenv``
and find a pre-downloaded Setuptools egg using that.
* Added platform-specific paths, like ``/usr/lib/pythonX.Y/plat-linux2``
1.3.1
-----
* Real Python 2.6 compatibility. Backported the Python 2.6 updates to
``site.py``, including `user directories
<http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/2.6.html#pep-370-per-user-site-packages-directory>`_
(this means older versions of Python will support user directories,
whether intended or not).
* Always set ``[install] prefix`` in ``distutils.cfg`` -- previously
on some platforms where a system-wide ``distutils.cfg`` was present
with a ``prefix`` setting, packages would be installed globally
(usually in ``/usr/local/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages``).
* Sometimes Cygwin seems to leave ``.exe`` off ``sys.executable``; a
workaround is added.
* Fix ``--python`` option.
* Fixed handling of Jython environments that use a
jython-complete.jar.
1.3
---
* Update to Setuptools 0.6c9
* Added an option ``virtualenv --relocatable EXISTING_ENV``, which
will make an existing environment "relocatable" -- the paths will
not be absolute in scripts, ``.egg-info`` and ``.pth`` files. This
may assist in building environments that can be moved and copied.
You have to run this *after* any new packages installed.
* Added ``bin/activate_this.py``, a file you can use like
``execfile("path_to/activate_this.py",
dict(__file__="path_to/activate_this.py"))`` -- this will activate
the environment in place, similar to what `the mod_wsgi example
does <http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/VirtualEnvironments>`_.
* For Mac framework builds of Python, the site-packages directory
``/Library/Python/X.Y/site-packages`` is added to ``sys.path``, from
Andrea Rech.
* Some platform-specific modules in Macs are added to the path now
(``plat-darwin/``, ``plat-mac/``, ``plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages``),
from Andrea Rech.
* Fixed a small Bashism in the ``bin/activate`` shell script.
* Added ``__future__`` to the list of required modules, for Python
2.3. You'll still need to backport your own ``subprocess`` module.
* Fixed the ``__classpath__`` entry in Jython's ``sys.path`` taking
precedent over virtualenv's libs.
1.2
---
* Added a ``--python`` option to select the Python interpreter.
* Add ``warnings`` to the modules copied over, for Python 2.6 support.
* Add ``sets`` to the module copied over for Python 2.3 (though Python
2.3 still probably doesn't work).
1.1.1
-----
* Added support for Jython 2.5.
1.1
---
* Added support for Python 2.6.
* Fix a problem with missing ``DLLs/zlib.pyd`` on Windows. Create
* ``bin/python`` (or ``bin/python.exe``) even when you run virtualenv
with an interpreter named, e.g., ``python2.4``
* Fix MacPorts Python
* Added --unzip-setuptools option
* Update to Setuptools 0.6c8
* If the current directory is not writable, run ez_setup.py in ``/tmp``
* Copy or symlink over the ``include`` directory so that packages will
more consistently compile.
1.0
---
* Fix build on systems that use ``/usr/lib64``, distinct from
``/usr/lib`` (specifically CentOS x64).
* Fixed bug in ``--clear``.
* Fixed typos in ``deactivate.bat``.
* Preserve ``$PYTHONPATH`` when calling subprocesses.
0.9.2
-----
* Fix include dir copying on Windows (makes compiling possible).
* Include the main ``lib-tk`` in the path.
* Patch ``distutils.sysconfig``: ``get_python_inc`` and
``get_python_lib`` to point to the global locations.
* Install ``distutils.cfg`` before Setuptools, so that system
customizations of ``distutils.cfg`` won't effect the installation.
* Add ``bin/pythonX.Y`` to the virtualenv (in addition to
``bin/python``).
* Fixed an issue with Mac Framework Python builds, and absolute paths
(from Ronald Oussoren).
0.9.1
-----
* Improve ability to create a virtualenv from inside a virtualenv.
* Fix a little bug in ``bin/activate``.
* Actually get ``distutils.cfg`` to work reliably.
0.9
---
* Added ``lib-dynload`` and ``config`` to things that need to be
copied over in an environment.
* Copy over or symlink the ``include`` directory, so that you can
build packages that need the C headers.
* Include a ``distutils`` package, so you can locally update
``distutils.cfg`` (in ``lib/pythonX.Y/distutils/distutils.cfg``).
* Better avoid downloading Setuptools, and hitting PyPI on environment
creation.
* Fix a problem creating a ``lib64/`` directory.
* Should work on MacOSX Framework builds (the default Python
installations on Mac). Thanks to Ronald Oussoren.
0.8.4
-----
* Windows installs would sometimes give errors about ``sys.prefix`` that
were inaccurate.
* Slightly prettier output.
0.8.3
-----
* Added support for Windows.
0.8.2
-----
* Give a better warning if you are on an unsupported platform (Mac
Framework Pythons, and Windows).
* Give error about running while inside a workingenv.
* Give better error message about Python 2.3.
0.8.1
-----
Fixed packaging of the library.
