I've recently released version 0.2.8 of distlib on PyPI [1]. For newcomers,distlib is a library of packaging functionality which is intended to beusable as the basis for third-party packaging tools. The main changes in this release are as follows: * Fixed #107: Updated documentation on testing to include information on setting PYTHONHASHSEED. * Fixed #108: Updated metadata scan to look for the METADATA file as well as the JSON formats. * Fixed #109: Removed existing files (which might have been symlinks) before overwriting. * Fixed #111: Avoided unnecessary newlines in script preambles, which caused problems with detecting encoding declarations. Thanks to Wim Glenn for the report and patch. * Fixed #112: Handled wheel tags and platform-dependent downloads correctly in SimpleScrapingLocator. A more detailed change log is available at [2]. Please try it out, and if you find any problems or have any suggestions for improvements,please give some feedback using the issue tracker!
