50.1.0

Not secure
=======



Changes
-------
* 2350: Setuptools reverts using the included distutils by default. Platform maintainers and system integrators and others are *strongly* encouraged to set ``SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=local`` to help identify and work through the reported issues with distutils adoption, mainly to file issues and pull requests with pypa/distutils such that distutils performs as needed across every supported environment.

50.0.3

Not secure
=======



Misc
----
* 2363: Restore link_libpython support on Python 3.7 and earlier (see pypa/distutils9).

50.0.2

Not secure
=======



Misc
----
* 2352: In distutils hack, use absolute import rather than relative to avoid bpo-30876.

50.0.1

Not secure
=======



Misc
----
* 2357: Restored Python 3.5 support in distutils.util for missing ``subprocess._optim_args_from_interpreter_flags``.
* 2358: Restored AIX support on Python 3.8 and earlier.
* 2361: Add Python 3.10 support to _distutils_hack. Get the 'Loader' abstract class
from importlib.abc rather than importlib.util.abc (alias removed in Python
3.10).

50.0.0

Not secure
=======



Breaking Changes
----------------
* 2232: Once again, Setuptools overrides the stdlib distutils on import. For environments or invocations where this behavior is undesirable, users are provided with a temporary escape hatch. If the environment variable ``SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS`` is set to ``stdlib``, Setuptools will fall back to the legacy behavior. Use of this escape hatch is discouraged, but it is provided to ease the transition while proper fixes for edge cases can be addressed.

Changes
-------
* 2334: In MSVC module, refine text in error message.

49.6.0

Not secure
=======



Changes
-------
* 2129: In pkg_resources, no longer detect any pathname ending in .egg as a Python egg. Now the path must be an unpacked egg or a zip file.
