0.38.2 (2022-11-05)

  • Fixed regression introduced in v0.38.1 which broke parsing of wheel file names with multiple platform tags

0.38.1 (2022-11-04)

  • Removed install dependency on setuptools
  • The future-proof fix in 0.36.0 for converting PyPy's SOABI into a abi tag was faulty. Fixed so that future changes in the SOABI will not change the tag.

0.38.0 (2022-10-21)

  • Dropped support for Python < 3.7
  • Updated vendored packaging to 21.3
  • Replaced all uses of distutils with setuptools
  • The handling of license_files (including glob patterns and default values) is now delegated to setuptools>=57.0.0 (#466). The package dependencies were updated to reflect this change.

  • Fixed ValueError: ZIP does not support timestamps before 1980 when using SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=0 or when on-disk timestamps are earlier than 1980-01-01. Such timestamps are now changed to the minimum value before packaging.

0.37.1 (2021-12-22)

  • Fixed wheel pack duplicating the WHEEL contents when the build number has changed (#415)

0.36.1 (2020-12-04)

  • Fixed AssertionError when MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET was set to 11 (PR by Grzegorz Bokota and François-Xavier Coudert)
  • Fixed regression introduced in 0.36.0 on Python 2.7 when a custom generator name was passed as unicode (Scikit-build) (TypeError: 'unicode' does not have the buffer interface)

0.36.0 (2020-12-01)

  • Added official Python 3.9 support
  • Updated vendored packaging library to v20.7
  • Switched to always using LF as line separator when generating WHEEL files (on Windows, CRLF was being used instead)
  • The ABI tag is taken from the sysconfig SOABI value. On PyPy the SOABI value is pypy37-pp73 which is not compliant with PEP 3149, as it should have both the API tag and the platform tag. This change future-proofs any change in PyPy's SOABI tag to make sure only the ABI tag is used by wheel.
  • Fixed regression and test for bdist_wheel --plat-name. It was ignored for C extensions in v0.35, but the regression was not detected by tests.

0.35.1 (2020-08-14)

  • Replaced install dependency on packaging with a vendored copy of its tags module

  • Fixed installation of wheel from sdist which was broken due to a chicken and egg problem with PEP 517 and setuptools_scm

  • Fixed duplicate RECORD file when using wheel pack on Windows
  • Fixed bdist_wheel failing at cleanup on Windows with a read-only source tree
  • Fixed wheel pack not respecting the existing build tag in WHEEL
  • Switched the project to use the "src" layout
  • Switched to setuptools_scm for versioning

0.33.6 (2019-08-18)

  • Fixed regression from 0.33.5 that broke building binary wheels against the limited ABI
  • Fixed egg2wheel compatibility with the future release of Python 3.10 (PR by Anthony Sottile)

0.28.0 (2016-02-05)

  • Fix file modes in archive (Issue #154)

0.27.0 (2016-02-05)

  • Support forcing a platform tag using --plat-name on pure-Python wheels, as well as nonstandard platform tags on non-pure wheels (Pull Request #60, Issue #144, thanks Andrés Díaz)
  • Add SOABI tags to platform-specific wheels built for Python 2.X (Pull Request #55, Issue #63, Issue #101)
  • Support reproducible wheel files, wheels that can be rebuilt and will hash to the same values as previous builds (Pull Request #52, Issue #143, thanks Barry Warsaw)
  • Support for changes in keyring >= 8.0 (Pull Request #61, thanks Jason R. Coombs)
  • Use the file context manager when checking if dependency_links.txt is empty, fixes problems building wheels under PyPy on Windows (Issue #150, thanks Cosimo Lupo)
  • Don't attempt to (recursively) create a build directory ending with .. (invalid on all platforms, but code was only executed on Windows) (Issue #91)
  • Added the PyPA Code of Conduct (Pull Request #56)

0.26.0 (2015-09-18)

  • Fix multiple entrypoint comparison failure on Python 3 (Issue #148)

0.25.0 (2015-09-16)

  • Add Python 3.5 to tox configuration
  • Deterministic (sorted) metadata
  • Fix tagging for Python 3.5 compatibility
  • Support py2-none-'arch' and py3-none-'arch' tags
  • Treat data-only wheels as pure
  • Write to temporary file and rename when using wheel install --force

0.24.0 (2014-07-06)

  • 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 (2014-03-31)

  • 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 (2013-09-15)

  • 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 (2013-07-20)

  • 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.

  • improved command line utility, adds 'wheel convert [egg or wininst]' to convert legacy binary formats to wheel

0.9.5 (2012-09-15)

  • 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 (2012-09-11)

  • Fix wheel.signatures in sdist
