1.6 +
1.7 +.. warning::
1.8 +
1.9 + Python bugfix releases 2.6.8, 2.7.3, 3.1.5 and 3.2.3 include a change that
1.10 + will cause "import random" to fail with "cannot import name urandom" on any
1.11 + virtualenv created on a Unix host with an earlier release of Python
1.12 + 2.6/2.7/3.1/3.2, if the underlying system Python is upgraded. This is due to
1.13 + the fact that a virtualenv uses the system Python's standard library but
1.14 + contains its own copy of the Python interpreter, so an upgrade to the system
1.15 + Python results in a mismatch between the version of the Python interpreter
1.16 + and the version of the standard library. It can be fixed by removing
1.17 + ``$ENV/bin/python`` and re-running virtualenv on the same target directory
1.18 + with the upgraded Python.
1.19 +
1.20 +
1.21 +1.11.4 (2014-02-21)
1.22 +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.23 +
1.24 +* Updated pip to 1.5.4
1.25 +
1.26 +
1.27 +1.11.3 (2014-02-20)
1.28 +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.29 +
1.30 +* Updated setuptools to 2.2
1.31 +* Updated pip to 1.5.3
1.32 +
1.33 +
1.34 +1.11.2 (2014-01-26)
1.35 +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.36 +
1.37 +* Fixed easy_install installed virtualenvs by updated pip to 1.5.2
1.38 +
1.39 +1.11.1 (2014-01-20)
1.40 +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.41 +
1.42 +* Fixed an issue where pip and setuptools were not getting installed when using
1.43 + the ``--system-site-packages`` flag.
1.44 +* Updated setuptools to fix an issue when installed with easy_install
1.45 +* Fixed an issue with Python 3.4 and sys.stdout encoding being set to ascii
1.46 +* Upgraded pip to v1.5.1
1.47 +* Upgraded setuptools to v2.1
1.48 +
1.49 +1.11 (2014-01-02)
1.50 +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.51 +
1.52 +* **BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE** Switched to using wheels for the bundled copies of
1.53 + setuptools and pip. Using sdists is no longer supported - users supplying
1.54 + their own versions of pip/setuptools will need to provide wheels.
1.55 +* **BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE** Modified the handling of ``--extra-search-dirs``.
1.56 + This option now works like pip's ``--find-links`` option, in that it adds
1.57 + extra directories to search for compatible wheels for pip and setuptools.
1.58 + The actual wheel selected is chosen based on version and compatibility, using
1.59 + the same algorithm as ``pip install setuptools``.
1.60 +* Fixed #495, --always-copy was failing (#PR 511)
1.61 +* Upgraded pip to v1.5
1.62 +* Upgraded setuptools to v1.4
1.63 +
1.64 +1.10.1 (2013-08-07)
1.65 +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.66 +
1.67 +* **New Signing Key** Release 1.10.1 is using a different key than normal with
1.68 + fingerprint: 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
1.69 +* Upgraded pip to v1.4.1
1.70 +* Upgraded setuptools to v0.9.8
1.71 +
1.72 +
1.73 +1.10 (2013-07-23)
1.74 +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.75 +
1.76 +* **BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE** Dropped support for Python 2.5. The minimum
1.77 + supported Python version is now Python 2.6.
1.78 +
1.79 +* **BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE** Using ``virtualenv.py`` as an isolated script
1.80 + (i.e. without an associated ``virtualenv_support`` directory) is no longer
1.81 + supported for security reasons and will fail with an error.
1.82 +
1.83 + Along with this, ``--never-download`` is now always pinned to ``True``, and
1.84 + is only being maintained in the short term for backward compatibility
1.85 + (Pull #412).
1.86 +
1.87 +* **IMPORTANT** Switched to the new setuptools (v0.9.7) which has been merged
1.88 + with Distribute_ again and works for Python 2 and 3 with one codebase.
1.89 + The ``--distribute`` and ``--setuptools`` options are now no-op.
1.90 +
1.91 +* Updated to pip 1.4.
1.92 +
1.93 +* Added support for PyPy3k
1.94 +
1.95 +* Added the option to use a version number with the ``-p`` option to get the
1.96 + system copy of that Python version (Windows only)
1.97 +
1.98 +* Removed embedded ``ez_setup.py``, ``distribute_setup.py`` and
1.99 + ``distribute_from_egg.py`` files as part of switching to merged setuptools.
1.100 +
1.101 +* Fixed ``--relocatable`` to work better on Windows.
1.102 +
1.103 +* Fixed issue with readline on Windows.
1.104 +
1.105 +.. _Distribute: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute
1.106 +
1.107 +1.9.1 (2013-03-08)
1.108 +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.109 +
1.110 +* Updated to pip 1.3.1 that fixed a major backward incompatible change of
1.111 + parsing URLs to externally hosted packages that got accidentily included
1.112 + in pip 1.3.
1.113 +
1.114 +1.9 (2013-03-07)
1.115 +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.116 +
1.117 +* Unset VIRTUAL_ENV environment variable in deactivate.bat (Pull #364)
1.118 +* Upgraded distribute to 0.6.34.
1.119 +* Added ``--no-setuptools`` and ``--no-pip`` options (Pull #336).
1.120 +* Fixed Issue #373. virtualenv-1.8.4 was failing in cygwin (Pull #382).
1.121 +* Fixed Issue #378. virtualenv is now "multiarch" aware on debian/ubuntu (Pull #379).
1.122 +* Fixed issue with readline module path on pypy and OSX (Pull #374).
1.123 +* Made 64bit detection compatible with Python 2.5 (Pull #393).
1.124 +
1.125 +
1.126 +1.8.4 (2012-11-25)
1.127 +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.128 +
1.129 +* Updated distribute to 0.6.31. This fixes #359 (numpy install regression) on
1.130 + UTF-8 platforms, and provides a workaround on other platforms:
1.131 + ``PYTHONIOENCODING=utf8 pip install numpy``.
1.132 +
1.133 +* When installing virtualenv via curl, don't forget to filter out arguments
1.134 + the distribute setup script won't understand. Fixes #358.
1.135 +
1.136 +* Added some more integration tests.
1.137 +
1.138 +* Removed the unsupported embedded setuptools egg for Python 2.4 to reduce
1.139 + file size.

1.148 +
1.149 +* Added compatibility with multiarch Python (Python 3.3 for example). Added an
1.150 + integration test. Thanks Gabriel (g2p)
1.151 +
1.152 +* Added ability to install distribute from a user-provided egg, rather than the
1.153 + bundled sdist, for better speed. Thanks Paul Moore.
1.154 +
1.155 +* Make the creation of lib64 symlink smarter about already-existing symlink,
1.156 + and more explicit about full paths. Fixes #334 and #330. Thanks Jeremy Orem.
1.157 +
1.158 +* Give lib64 site-dir preference over lib on 64-bit systems, to avoid wrong
1.159 + 32-bit compiles in the venv. Fixes #328. Thanks Damien Nozay.
1.160 +
1.161 +* Fix a bug with prompt-handling in ``activate.csh`` in non-interactive csh
1.162 + shells. Fixes #332. Thanks Benjamin Root for report and patch.
1.163 +
1.164 +* Make it possible to create a virtualenv from within a Python
1.165 + 3.3. pyvenv. Thanks Chris McDonough for the report.
1.166 +
1.167 +* Add optional --setuptools option to be able to switch to it in case
1.168 + distribute is the default (like in Debian).
1.169 +
1.170 +1.8.2 (2012-09-06)
1.171 +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.172 +
1.173 +* Updated the included pip version to 1.2.1 to fix regressions introduced

1.183 +* Fix creating Python 3.3 based virtualenvs by unsetting the
1.184 + ``__PYVENV_LAUNCHER__`` environment variable in subprocesses.
1.185 +
1.186 +
1.187 +1.8 (2012-09-01)
1.188 +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1.294 +
1.295 +1.7 (2011-11-30)
1.296 +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.297 +
1.298 +* Gave user-provided ``--extra-search-dir`` priority over default dirs for
1.299 + finding setuptools/distribute (it already had priority for finding pip).
1.300 + Thanks Ethan Jucovy.
1.301 +
1.302 +* Updated embedded Distribute release to 0.6.24. Thanks Alex Gronholm.
1.303 +
1.304 +* Made ``--no-site-packages`` behavior the default behavior. The

1.432 +
1.433 +* Allow ``$PYTHONHOME`` to be set, so long as you use ``source

1.492 + ``--no-site-packages``
1.493 +
1.494 +
1.495 +1.4.1
1.496 +~~~~~
1.497 +
1.498 +* Include pip 0.6
1.499 +
1.500 +
1.501 +1.4
1.502 +~~~
1.503 +
1.504 +* Updated setuptools to 0.6c11
1.505 +
1.506 +* Added the --distribute option
1.507 +
1.508 +* Fixed packaging problem of support-files
1.509 +
1.510 +
1.511 +1.3.4
1.512 +~~~~~
1.513 +
1.514 +* Virtualenv now copies the actual embedded Python binary on
1.515 + Mac OS X to fix a hang on Snow Leopard (10.6).
1.516 +
1.517 +* Fail more gracefully on Windows when ``win32api`` is not installed.
1.518 +
1.519 +* Fix site-packages taking precedent over Jython's ``__classpath__``
1.520 + and also specially handle the new ``__pyclasspath__`` entry in
1.521 + ``sys.path``.
1.522 +
1.523 +* Now copies Jython's ``registry`` file to the virtualenv if it exists.
1.524 +
1.525 +* Better find libraries when compiling extensions on Windows.
1.526 +
1.527 +* Create ``Scripts\pythonw.exe`` on Windows.
1.528 +
1.529 +* Added support for the Debian/Ubuntu
1.530 + ``/usr/lib/pythonX.Y/dist-packages`` directory.
1.531 +
1.532 +* Set ``distutils.sysconfig.get_config_vars()['LIBDIR']`` (based on
1.533 + ``sys.real_prefix``) which is reported to help building on Windows.
1.534 +
1.535 +* Make ``deactivate`` work on ksh
1.536 +
1.537 +* Fixes for ``--python``: make it work with ``--relocatable`` and the
1.538 + symlink created to the exact Python version.
1.539 +
1.540 +
1.541 +1.3.3
1.542 +~~~~~
1.543 +
1.544 +* Use Windows newlines in ``activate.bat``, which has been reported to help
1.545 + when using non-ASCII directory names.
1.546 +
1.547 +* Fixed compatibility with Jython 2.5b1.
1.548 +
1.549 +* Added a function ``virtualenv.install_python`` for more fine-grained
1.550 + access to what ``virtualenv.create_environment`` does.
1.551 +
1.552 +* Fix `a problem <https://bugs.launchpad.net/virtualenv/+bug/241581>`_
1.553 + with Windows and paths that contain spaces.
1.554 +
1.555 +* If ``/path/to/env/.pydistutils.cfg`` exists (or
1.556 + ``/path/to/env/pydistutils.cfg`` on Windows systems) then ignore
1.557 + ``~/.pydistutils.cfg`` and use that other file instead.
1.558 +
1.559 +* Fix ` a problem
1.560 + <https://bugs.launchpad.net/virtualenv/+bug/340050>`_ picking up
1.561 + some ``.so`` libraries in ``/usr/local``.
1.562 +
1.563 +
1.564 +1.3.2
1.565 +~~~~~
1.566 +
1.567 +* Remove the ``[install] prefix = ...`` setting from the virtualenv
1.568 + ``distutils.cfg`` -- this has been causing problems for a lot of
1.569 + people, in rather obscure ways.
1.570 +
1.571 +* If you use a boot script it will attempt to import ``virtualenv``
1.572 + and find a pre-downloaded Setuptools egg using that.
1.573 +
1.574 +* Added platform-specific paths, like ``/usr/lib/pythonX.Y/plat-linux2``
1.575 +
1.576 +
1.577 +1.3.1
1.578 +~~~~~
1.579 +
1.580 +* Real Python 2.6 compatibility. Backported the Python 2.6 updates to
1.581 + ``site.py``, including `user directories
1.582 + <http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/2.6.html#pep-370-per-user-site-packages-directory>`_
1.583 + (this means older versions of Python will support user directories,
1.584 + whether intended or not).
1.585 +
1.586 +* Always set ``[install] prefix`` in ``distutils.cfg`` -- previously
1.587 + on some platforms where a system-wide ``distutils.cfg`` was present
1.588 + with a ``prefix`` setting, packages would be installed globally
1.589 + (usually in ``/usr/local/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages``).
1.590 +
1.591 +* Sometimes Cygwin seems to leave ``.exe`` off ``sys.executable``; a
1.592 + workaround is added.
1.593 +
1.594 +* Fix ``--python`` option.
1.595 +
1.596 +* Fixed handling of Jython environments that use a
1.597 + jython-complete.jar.
1.598 +
1.599 +
1.600 +1.3
1.601 +~~~
1.602 +
1.603 +* Update to Setuptools 0.6c9
1.604 +* Added an option ``virtualenv --relocatable EXISTING_ENV``, which
1.605 + will make an existing environment "relocatable" -- the paths will
1.606 + not be absolute in scripts, ``.egg-info`` and ``.pth`` files. This
1.607 + may assist in building environments that can be moved and copied.
1.608 + You have to run this *after* any new packages installed.
1.609 +* Added ``bin/activate_this.py``, a file you can use like
1.610 + ``execfile("path_to/activate_this.py",
1.611 + dict(__file__="path_to/activate_this.py"))`` -- this will activate
1.612 + the environment in place, similar to what `the mod_wsgi example
1.613 + does <http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/VirtualEnvironments>`_.
1.614 +* For Mac framework builds of Python, the site-packages directory
1.615 + ``/Library/Python/X.Y/site-packages`` is added to ``sys.path``, from
1.616 + Andrea Rech.
1.617 +* Some platform-specific modules in Macs are added to the path now
1.618 + (``plat-darwin/``, ``plat-mac/``, ``plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages``),
1.619 + from Andrea Rech.
1.620 +* Fixed a small Bashism in the ``bin/activate`` shell script.
1.621 +* Added ``__future__`` to the list of required modules, for Python
1.622 + 2.3. You'll still need to backport your own ``subprocess`` module.
1.623 +* Fixed the ``__classpath__`` entry in Jython's ``sys.path`` taking
1.624 + precedent over virtualenv's libs.
1.625 +
1.626 +
1.627 +1.2
1.628 +~~~
1.629 +
1.630 +* Added a ``--python`` option to select the Python interpreter.
1.631 +* Add ``warnings`` to the modules copied over, for Python 2.6 support.
1.632 +* Add ``sets`` to the module copied over for Python 2.3 (though Python
1.633 + 2.3 still probably doesn't work).
1.634 +
1.635 +
1.636 +1.1.1
1.637 +~~~~~
1.638 +
1.639 +* Added support for Jython 2.5.
1.640 +
1.641 +
1.642 +1.1
1.643 +~~~
1.644 +
1.645 +* Added support for Python 2.6.
1.646 +* Fix a problem with missing ``DLLs/zlib.pyd`` on Windows. Create
1.647 +* ``bin/python`` (or ``bin/python.exe``) even when you run virtualenv
1.648 + with an interpreter named, e.g., ``python2.4``
1.649 +* Fix MacPorts Python
1.650 +* Added --unzip-setuptools option
1.651 +* Update to Setuptools 0.6c8
1.652 +* If the current directory is not writable, run ez_setup.py in ``/tmp``
1.653 +* Copy or symlink over the ``include`` directory so that packages will
1.654 + more consistently compile.
1.655 +
1.656 +
1.657 +1.0
1.658 +~~~
1.659 +
1.660 +* Fix build on systems that use ``/usr/lib64``, distinct from
1.661 + ``/usr/lib`` (specifically CentOS x64).
1.662 +* Fixed bug in ``--clear``.
1.663 +* Fixed typos in ``deactivate.bat``.
1.664 +* Preserve ``$PYTHONPATH`` when calling subprocesses.
1.665 +
1.666 +
1.667 +0.9.2
1.668 +~~~~~
1.669 +
1.670 +* Fix include dir copying on Windows (makes compiling possible).
1.671 +* Include the main ``lib-tk`` in the path.
1.672 +* Patch ``distutils.sysconfig``: ``get_python_inc`` and
1.673 + ``get_python_lib`` to point to the global locations.
1.674 +* Install ``distutils.cfg`` before Setuptools, so that system
1.675 + customizations of ``distutils.cfg`` won't effect the installation.
1.676 +* Add ``bin/pythonX.Y`` to the virtualenv (in addition to
1.677 + ``bin/python``).
1.678 +* Fixed an issue with Mac Framework Python builds, and absolute paths
1.679 + (from Ronald Oussoren).
1.680 +
1.681 +
1.682 +0.9.1
1.683 +~~~~~
1.684 +
1.685 +* Improve ability to create a virtualenv from inside a virtualenv.
1.686 +* Fix a little bug in ``bin/activate``.
1.687 +* Actually get ``distutils.cfg`` to work reliably.
1.688 +
1.689 +
1.690 +0.9
1.691 +~~~
1.692 +
1.693 +* Added ``lib-dynload`` and ``config`` to things that need to be
1.694 + copied over in an environment.
1.695 +* Copy over or symlink the ``include`` directory, so that you can
1.696 + build packages that need the C headers.
1.697 +* Include a ``distutils`` package, so you can locally update
1.698 + ``distutils.cfg`` (in ``lib/pythonX.Y/distutils/distutils.cfg``).
1.699 +* Better avoid downloading Setuptools, and hitting PyPI on environment
1.700 + creation.
1.701 +* Fix a problem creating a ``lib64/`` directory.
1.702 +* Should work on MacOSX Framework builds (the default Python
1.703 + installations on Mac). Thanks to Ronald Oussoren.
1.704 +
1.705 +
1.706 +0.8.4
1.707 +~~~~~
1.708 +
1.709 +* Windows installs would sometimes give errors about ``sys.prefix`` that
1.710 + were inaccurate.
1.711 +* Slightly prettier output.
1.712 +
1.713 +
1.714 +0.8.3
1.715 +~~~~~
1.716 +
1.717 +* Added support for Windows.
1.718 +
1.719 +
1.720 +0.8.2
1.721 +~~~~~
1.722 +
1.723 +* Give a better warning if you are on an unsupported platform (Mac
1.724 + Framework Pythons, and Windows).
1.725 +* Give error about running while inside a workingenv.
1.726 +* Give better error message about Python 2.3.
1.727 +
1.728 +
1.729 +0.8.1
1.730 +~~~~~
1.731 +
1.732 +Fixed packaging of the library.
1.733 +
1.734 +
1.735 +0.8
1.736 +~~~
1.737 +
1.738 +Initial release. Everything is changed and new!
