* (macOS) When running ``codesign`` utility on macOS, use hard-coded absolute
path (``/usr/bin/codesign``) to avoid errors when user has the ``codesign``
from `sigtool <https://github.com/thefloweringash/sigtool>`_ in their
``PATH``. (:issue:`8581`)
* (Windows) When setting up DLL search paths for binary dependency analysis,
consider the directory where python executable is located (i.e.,
``os.path.dirname(sys._base_executable)``) in addition to directory pointed to
by ``sys.base_prefix``, in case the two differ. This fixes discovery of
``python3.dll`` when using python that was locally built from source (i.e.,
using ``PCbuild\build.bat`` script that comes with python's source code).
(:issue:`8569`)
Incompatible Changes
Attempting to do a build whilst inside C:\Windows is now blocked.
(:issue:8570)
Invalid hiddenimports (e.g. filenames instead of module names) are now a build
error. (:issue:8570)
Deprecations
* Adding a Python environment's ``site-packages`` directory to
``pathex``/``--paths`` will be blocked in v7.0 (:issue:`8570`)
* Running PyInstaller with escalated privileges (e.g. using sudo or in a *run as
admin* terminal) will be blocked in v7.0. True admin users will be unaffected.
(:issue:`8570`)
Bootloader
* (POSIX) Bootloader now attempts to create the run-time temporary directory
given via :option:`--runtime-tmpdir` option (instead of requiring the
directory to already exist), in order to match the behavior on Windows. A
relative run-time temporary directory is now resolved to an absolute full path
before being used to construct the application's temporary directory path.
(:issue:`8557`)
* (Windows) Bootloader now verifies the run-time temporary directory given via
:option:`--runtime-tmpdir` option, and raises an error if either the drive is
invalid or if the directory cannot be created (instead of creating the
