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.

• Dropped support for Python < 3.7
• Updated vendored packaging to 21.3
• Replaced all uses of distutils with setuptools

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.

• 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)

• 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

0.20.0

• No longer include console_scripts in wheels. Ordinary scripts (shell files, standalone Python files) are included as usual.

• 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.
