Vulnerability changelog


* Fixes :issue:`2502`. Upgrades were failing when no potential links were found
for dependencies other than the current installation. (:pull:`2538`)

* Use a smoother progress bar when the terminal is capable of handling it,
otherwise fallback to the original ASCII based progress bar.

* Display much less output when `pip install` succeeds, because on success,
users probably don't care about all the nitty gritty details of compiling and
installing. When `pip install` fails, display the failed install output once
instead of twice, because once is enough. (:pull:`2487`)

* Upgrade the bundled copy of requests to 2.6.0, fixing CVE-2015-2296.

* Display format of latest package when using ``pip list --outdated``.
(:pull:`2475`)

* Don't use pywin32 as ctypes should always be available on Windows, using
pywin32 prevented uninstallation of pywin32 on Windows. (:pull:`2467`)

* Normalize the ``--wheel-dir`` option, expanding out constructs such as ``~``
when used (:pull:`2441`).

* Display a warning when an undefined extra has been requested. (:pull:`2142`)

* Speed up installing a directory in certain cases by creating a sdist instead
of copying the entire directory. (:pull:`2535`)

* Don't follow symlinks when uninstalling files (:pull:`2552`)

* Upgrade the bundled copy of cachecontrol from 0.11.1 to 0.11.2.
Fixes :issue:`2481` (:pull:`2595`)

* Attempt to more smartly choose the order of installation to try and install
dependencies before the projects that depend on them. (:pull:`2616`)

* Skip trying to install libraries which are part of the standard library.
(:pull:`2636`, :pull:`2602`)

* Support arch specific wheels that are not tied to a specific Python ABI.
(:pull:`2561`)

* Output warnings and errors to stderr instead of stdout. (:pull:`2543`)

* Adjust the cache dir file checks to only check ownership if the effective
user is root. (:pull:`2396`)

* Install headers into a per project name directory instead of all of them into
the root directory when inside of a virtual environment. (:pull:`2421`)
