65.0.2

Not secure
=======


Misc
----
* 3505: Restored distutils msvccompiler and msvc9compiler modules and marked as deprecated (pypa/distutilsc802880).

65.0.1

Not secure
=======


Documentation changes
---------------------
* 3529: Added clarification to :doc:`/userguide/quickstart` about support
to ``setup.py``.

Misc
----
* 3526: Fixed backward compatibility of editable installs and custom ``build_ext``
commands inheriting directly from ``distutils``.
* 3528: Fixed ``buid_meta.prepare_metadata_for_build_wheel`` when
given ``metadata_directory`` is ``"."``.

65.0.0

Not secure
=======


Breaking Changes
----------------
* 3505: Removed 'msvccompiler' and 'msvc9compiler' modules from distutils.
* 3521: Remove bdist_msi and bdist_wininst commands, which have been deprecated since Python 3.9. Use older Setuptools for these behaviors if needed.

Documentation changes
---------------------
* 3519: Changed the note in ``keywords`` documentation regarding editable installations
to specify which ``setuptools`` version require a minimal ``setup.py`` file or not.

64.0.3

Not secure
=======


Misc
----
* 3515: Fixed "inline" file copying for editable installations and
optional extensions.
* 3517: Fixed ``editable_wheel`` to ensure other commands are finalized before using
them. This should prevent errors with plugins trying to use different commands
or reinitializing them.
* 3517: Augmented filter to prevent transient/temporary source files from being
considered ``package_data`` or ``data_files``.

64.0.2

Not secure
=======


Misc
----
* 3506: Suppress errors in custom ``build_py`` implementations when running editable
installs in favor of a warning indicating what is the most appropriate
migration path.
This is a *transitional* measure. Errors might be raised in future versions of
``setuptools``.
* 3512: Added capability of handling namespace packages created
accidentally/purposefully via discovery configuration during editable installs.
This should emulate the behaviour of a non-editable installation.

64.0.1

Not secure
=======


Misc
----
* 3497: Fixed ``editable_wheel`` for legacy namespaces.
* 3502: Fixed issue with editable install and single module distributions.
* 3503: Added filter to ignore external ``.egg-info`` files in manifest.

Some plugins might rely on the fact that the ``.egg-info`` directory is
produced inside the project dir, which may not be the case in editable installs
(the ``.egg-info`` directory is produced inside the metadata directory given by
the build frontend via PEP 660 hooks).
