* Distribute 27: Use public api for loading resources from zip files rather than the private method ``_zip_directory_cache``. * Added a new function ``easy_install.get_win_launcher`` which may be used by third-party libraries such as buildout to get a suitable script launcher.
0.6.40
======
* Distribute 376: brought back cli.exe and gui.exe that were deleted in the previous release.
0.6.39
======
* Add support for console launchers on ARM platforms. * Fix possible issue in GUI launchers where the subsystem was not supplied to the linker. * Launcher build script now refactored for robustness. * Distribute 375: Resources extracted from a zip egg to the file system now also check the contents of the file against the zip contents during each invocation of get_resource_filename.
0.6.38
======
* Distribute 371: The launcher manifest file is now installed properly.
0.6.37
======
* Distribute 143: Launcher scripts, including easy_install itself, are now accompanied by a manifest on 32-bit Windows environments to avoid the Installer Detection Technology and thus undesirable UAC elevation described in `this Microsoft article <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc709628%28WS.10%29.aspx>`_.
0.6.36
======
* BB Pull Request 35: In Buildout 64, it was reported that under Python 3, installation of distutils scripts could attempt to copy the ``__pycache__`` directory as a file, causing an error, apparently only under Windows. Easy_install now skips all directories when processing metadata scripts.
