 Changes & News
 --------------
 .. warning::
    Python bugfix releases 2.6.8, 2.7.3, 3.1.5 and 3.2.3 include a change that
    will cause "import random" to fail with "cannot import name urandom" on any
    virtualenv created on a Unix host with an earlier release of Python
 .6/2.7/3.1/3.2, if the underlying system Python is upgraded. This is due to
    the fact that a virtualenv uses the system Python's standard library but
    contains its own copy of the Python interpreter, so an upgrade to the system
    Python results in a mismatch between the version of the Python interpreter
    and the version of the standard library. It can be fixed by removing
    ``$ENV/bin/python`` and re-running virtualenv on the same target directory
    with the upgraded Python.
 .11.4 (2014-02-21)
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * Updated pip to 1.5.4
 .11.3 (2014-02-20)
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * Updated setuptools to 2.2
 * Updated pip to 1.5.3
 .11.2 (2014-01-26)
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * Fixed easy_install installed virtualenvs by updated pip to 1.5.2
 .11.1 (2014-01-20)
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * Fixed an issue where pip and setuptools were not getting installed when using
   the ``--system-site-packages`` flag.
 * Updated setuptools to fix an issue when installed with easy_install
 * Fixed an issue with Python 3.4 and sys.stdout encoding being set to ascii
 * Upgraded pip to v1.5.1
 * Upgraded setuptools to v2.1
 .11 (2014-01-02)
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * **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``.
 * Fixed #495, --always-copy was failing (#PR 511)
 * Upgraded pip to v1.5
 * Upgraded setuptools to v1.4
 .10.1 (2013-08-07)
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * **New Signing Key** Release 1.10.1 is using a different key than normal with
   fingerprint: 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
 * Upgraded pip to v1.4.1
 * Upgraded setuptools to v0.9.8
 .10 (2013-07-23)
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * **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)
 * Removed embedded ``ez_setup.py``, ``distribute_setup.py`` and
   ``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.python.org/pypi/distribute
 .9.1 (2013-03-08)
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * Updated to pip 1.3.1 that fixed a major backward incompatible change of
   parsing URLs to externally hosted packages that got accidentily included
   in pip 1.3.
 .9 (2013-03-07)
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * Unset VIRTUAL_ENV environment variable in deactivate.bat (Pull #364)
 * Upgraded distribute to 0.6.34.
 * Added ``--no-setuptools`` and ``--no-pip`` options (Pull #336).
 * Fixed Issue #373. virtualenv-1.8.4 was failing in cygwin (Pull #382).
 * Fixed Issue #378. virtualenv is now "multiarch" aware on debian/ubuntu (Pull #379).
 * Fixed issue with readline module path on pypy and OSX (Pull #374).
 * Made 64bit detection compatible with Python 2.5 (Pull #393).
 .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.
 * Removed the unsupported embedded setuptools egg for Python 2.4 to reduce
   file size.
 .8.3 (2012-11-21)
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * Fixed readline on OS X. Thanks minrk
 * Updated distribute to 0.6.30 (improves our error reporting, plus new
   distribute features and fixes). Thanks Gabriel (g2p)
 * Added compatibility with multiarch Python (Python 3.3 for example). Added an
   integration test. Thanks Gabriel (g2p)
 * Added ability to install distribute from a user-provided egg, rather than the
   bundled sdist, for better speed. Thanks Paul Moore.
 * Make the creation of lib64 symlink smarter about already-existing symlink,
   and more explicit about full paths. Fixes #334 and #330. Thanks Jeremy Orem.
 * Give lib64 site-dir preference over lib on 64-bit systems, to avoid wrong
 -bit compiles in the venv. Fixes #328. Thanks Damien Nozay.
 * Fix a bug with prompt-handling in ``activate.csh`` in non-interactive csh
   shells. Fixes #332. Thanks Benjamin Root for report and patch.
 * Make it possible to create a virtualenv from within a Python
 .3. pyvenv. Thanks Chris McDonough for the report.
 * Add optional --setuptools option to be able to switch to it in case
   distribute is the default (like in Debian).
 .8.2 (2012-09-06)
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * Updated the included pip version to 1.2.1 to fix regressions introduced
   there in 1.2.
 .8.1 (2012-09-03)
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * Fixed distribute version used with `--never-download`. Thanks michr for
   report and patch.
 * Fix creating Python 3.3 based virtualenvs by unsetting the
   ``__PYVENV_LAUNCHER__`` environment variable in subprocesses.
 .8 (2012-09-01)
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   Sajip, Ian Clelland, and Stefan Holek for the report.
 * Fix ``--relocatable`` when a script uses ``__future__`` imports. Thanks
   Branden Rolston.
 * Fix a bug in the config option parser that prevented setting negative
   options with environemnt variables. Thanks Ralf Schmitt.
 * Allow setting ``--no-site-packages`` from the config file.
 * Use ``/usr/bin/multiarch-platform`` if available to figure out the include
   directory. Thanks for the patch, Mika Laitio.
 * Fix ``install_name_tool`` replacement to work on Python 3.X.
 * Handle paths of users' site-packages on Mac OS X correctly when changing
   the prefix.
 * Updated the embedded version of distribute to 0.6.28 and pip to 1.2.
 .7.2 (2012-06-22)
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * 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.
 * Added ability to create virtualenvs without having installed Apple's
   developers tools (using an own implementation of ``install_name_tool``).
   Thanks Mike Hommey.
 * Fixed PyPy and Jython support on Windows. Thanks Konstantin Zemlyak.
 * Added pydoc script to ease use. Thanks Marc Abramowitz. Fixes #149.
 * Fixed creating a bootstrap script on Python 3. Thanks Raul Leal. Fixes #280.
 * Fixed inconsistency when having set the ``PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE`` env var
   with the --distribute option or the ``VIRTUALENV_USE_DISTRIBUTE`` env var.
   ``VIRTUALENV_USE_DISTRIBUTE`` is now considered again as a legacy alias.
 .7.1.2 (2012-02-17)

 * Fixed rST rendering bug of long description.
 .7.1 (2012-02-16)
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * Update embedded pip to version 1.1.
 * Fix `--relocatable` under Python 3. Thanks Doug Hellmann.

   Napoleone. Fixes #14.
 * Support creating virtualenvs directly from a Python build directory on
   Windows. Thanks CBWhiz. Fixes #139.
 * Use non-recursive symlinks to fix things up for posix_local install
   scheme. Thanks michr.

   Thanks Greg Haskins, Cliff Xuan, Jonathan Griffin and Doug Napoleone.
   Fixes #176.
 * Fixed creation of virtualenvs on Windows when Python is not installed for
   all users. Thanks Anatoly Techtonik for report and patch and Doug
   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.
 .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.
 * Added ability to set command options as environment variables and options
   in a ``virtualenv.ini`` file.

 * Updated embedded pip release to 1.0.2.
 * Fixed #141 - Be smarter about finding pkg_resources when using the
   non-default Python intepreter (by using the ``-p`` option).
 * Fixed #112 - Fixed path in docs.
 * Fixed #109 - Corrected doctests of a Logger method.
 * Fixed #118 - Fixed creating virtualenvs on platforms that use the
   "posix_local" install scheme, such as Ubuntu with Python 2.7.
 * Add missing library to Python 3 virtualenvs (``_dummy_thread``).
 .6.1 (2011-04-30)
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * Start to use git-flow.
 * Added support for PyPy 1.5
 * Fixed #121 -- added sanity-checking of the -p argument. Thanks Paul Nasrat.

 ~~~~~
 * Include pip 0.7.2
 .4.8
 ~~~~~
 * 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
   activate the environment it will still break the environment.
 * Include pip 0.7.1
 .4.7
 ~~~~~
 * Include pip 0.7
 .4.6
 ~~~~~
 * Allow ``activate.sh`` to skip updating the prompt (by setting

   installed
 * Fix problem with ``virtualenv --relocate`` when ``bin/`` has
   subdirectories (e.g., ``bin/.svn/``); from Alan Franzoni.
 * If you set ``$VIRTUALENV_DISTRIBUTE`` then virtualenv will use
   Distribute by default (so you don't have to remember to use
   ``--distribute``).

 ~~~~~
 * Include pip 0.6.1
 .4.2
 ~~~~~
 * Fix pip installation on Windows
 * Fix use of stand-alone ``virtualenv.py`` (and boot scripts)
 * Exclude ~/.local (user site-packages) from environments when using

 .4.1
 ~~~~~
 * Include pip 0.6
 .4
 ~~~
 * Updated setuptools to 0.6c11
 * Added the --distribute option
 * Fixed packaging problem of support-files
 .3.4
 ~~~~~
 * Virtualenv now copies the actual embedded Python binary on
   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.
 .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``.
 .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``
 .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.
 .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
 .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.
 .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
 .3 still probably doesn't work).
 .1.1
 ~~~~~
 * Added support for Jython 2.5.
 .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.
 .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.
 .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).
 .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.
 .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.
 .8.4
 ~~~~~
 * Windows installs would sometimes give errors about ``sys.prefix`` that
   were inaccurate.
 * Slightly prettier output.
 .8.3
 ~~~~~
 * Added support for Windows.
 .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.
 .8.1
 ~~~~~
 Fixed packaging of the library.
 .8
 ~~~
 Initial release.  Everything is changed and new!
