Release Notes

0.40.0 (2023-03-14)

• Added a wheel tags command to modify tags on an existing wheel (PR by Henry Schreiner)
• Updated vendored packaging to 23.0
• wheel unpack now preserves the executable attribute of extracted files
• Fixed spaces in platform names not being converted to underscores (PR by David Tucker)
• Fixed RECORD files in generated wheels missing the regular file attribute
• Fixed DeprecationWarning about the use of the deprecated pkg_resources API (PR by Thomas Grainger)
• Wheel now uses flit-core as a build backend (PR by Henry Schreiner)

0.38.4 (2022-11-09)

• Fixed PKG-INFO conversion in bdist_wheel mangling UTF-8 header values in METADATA (PR by Anderson Bravalheri)

0.38.3 (2022-11-08)

• Fixed install failure when used with --no-binary, reported on Ubuntu 20.04, by removing setup_requires from setup.cfg

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 potential DoS attack via the WHEEL_INFO_RE regular expression
• 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)
