=====

* Fixed a missing files problem when using Windows source distributions on
non-Windows platforms, due to distutils not handling manifest file line
endings correctly.

* Updated Pyrex support to work with Pyrex 0.9.6 and higher.

* Minor changes for Jython compatibility, including skipping tests that can't
work on Jython.

* Fixed not installing eggs in ``install_requires`` if they were also used for
``setup_requires`` or ``tests_require``.

* Fixed not fetching eggs in ``install_requires`` when running tests.

* Allow ``ez_setup.use_setuptools()`` to upgrade existing setuptools
installations when called from a standalone ``setup.py``.

* Added a warning if a namespace package is declared, but its parent package
is not also declared as a namespace.

* Support Subversion 1.5

* Removed use of deprecated ``md5`` module if ``hashlib`` is available

* Fixed ``bdist_wininst upload`` trying to upload the ``.exe`` twice

* Fixed ``bdist_egg`` putting a ``native_libs.txt`` in the source package's
``.egg-info``, when it should only be in the built egg's ``EGG-INFO``.

* Ensure that _full_name is set on all shared libs before extensions are
checked for shared lib usage. (Fixes a bug in the experimental shared
library build support.)

* Fix to allow unpacked eggs containing native libraries to fail more
gracefully under Google App Engine (with an ``ImportError`` loading the
C-based module, instead of getting a ``NameError``).

* Fixed ``win32.exe`` support for .pth files, so unnecessary directory nesting
is flattened out in the resulting egg. (There was a case-sensitivity
problem that affected some distributions, notably ``pywin32``.)

when running ``easy_install --help``.

* Fixed GUI scripts sometimes not executing on Windows

* Fixed not picking up dependency links from recursive dependencies.

specified directory is not a source package.

* Fixed ``--allow-hosts`` option blocking ``file:`` URLs

* Fixed HTTP SVN detection failing when the page title included a project
name (e.g. on SourceForge-hosted SVN)

* Fix Jython script installation to handle ``!`` lines better when
``sys.executable`` is a script.

* Removed use of deprecated ``md5`` module if ``hashlib`` is available

* Keep site directories (e.g. ``site-packages``) from being included in
``.pth`` files.
