===================
Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
- Drop support for EOL Python 3.7. (`11934 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/11934>`_)
- Remove support for legacy versions and dependency specifiers.
Packages with non standard-compliant versions or dependency specifiers are now ignored by the resolver.
Already installed packages with non standard-compliant versions or dependency specifiers
must be uninstalled before upgrading them. (`12063 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12063>`_)
Features
--------
- Improve performance of resolution of large dependency trees, with more caching. (`12453 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12453>`_)
- Further improve resolution performance of large dependency trees, by caching hash calculations. (`12657 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12657>`_)
- Reduce startup time of commands (e.g. show, freeze) that do not access the network by 15-30%. (`4768 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/4768>`_)
- Reword and improve presentation of uninstallation errors. (`10421 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/10421>`_)
- Add a 'raw' progress_bar type for simple and parsable download progress reports (`11508 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/11508>`_)
- ``pip list`` no longer performs the pip version check unless ``--outdated`` or ``--uptodate`` is given. (`11677 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/11677>`_)
- Use the ``data_filter`` when extracting tarballs, if it's available. (`12111 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12111>`_)
- Display the Project-URL value under key "Home-page" in ``pip show`` when the Home-Page metadata field is not set.
The Project-URL key detection is case-insensitive, and ignores any dashes and underscores. (`11221 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/11221>`_)
Bug Fixes
---------
- Ensure ``-vv`` gets passed to any ``pip install`` build environment subprocesses. (`12577 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12577>`_)
- Deduplicate entries in the ``Requires`` field of ``pip show``. (`12165 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12165>`_)
- Fix error on checkout for subversion and bazaar with verbose mode on. (`11050 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/11050>`_)
- Fix exception with completions when COMP_CWORD is not set (`12401 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12401>`_)
- Fix intermittent "cannot locate t64.exe" errors when upgrading pip. (`12666 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12666>`_)
- Remove duplication in invalid wheel error message (`12579 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12579>`_)
- Remove the incorrect pip3.x console entrypoint from the pip wheel. This console
script continues to be generated by pip when it installs itself. (`12536 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12536>`_)
- Gracefully skip VCS detection in pip freeze when PATH points to a non-directory path. (`12567 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12567>`_)
- Make the ``--proxy`` parameter take precedence over environment variables. (`10685 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/10685>`_)
