* Add hooks utilities to find binary dependencies of Anaconda distributions.
(:issue:`[#5213](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/5213)`)
* (OSX) Automatically remove the signature from the collected copy of the
``Python`` shared library, using ``codesign --remove-signature``. This
accommodates both ``onedir`` and ``onefile`` builds with recent python
versions for macOS, where invalidated signature on PyInstaller-collected
copy of the ``Python`` library prevents the latter from being loaded.
(:issue:`[#5451](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/5451)`)
* (Windows) PyInstaller's console or windowed icon is now added at freeze-time
and
no longer built into the bootloader. Also, using ``--icon=NONE`` allows to
not
apply any icon, thereby making the OS to show some default icon.
(:issue:`[#4700](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/4700)`)
* (Windows) Enable ``longPathAware`` option in built application's manifest in
order to support long file paths on Windows 10 v.1607 and later.
(:issue:`[#5424](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/5424)`)
Bugfix
* Fix loading of plugin-type modules at run-time of the frozen application:
If the plugin path is one character longer than sys._MEIPATH
(e.g. "$PWD/p/plugin_1" and "$PWD/dist/main"),
the plugin relative-imports a sub-module (of the plugin)
and the frozen application contains a module of the same name,
the frozen application module was imported. (:issue:`[#4141](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/4141)`, :issue:`[#4299](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/4299)`)
* Ensure that spec for frozen packages has ``submodule_search_locations`` set
in order to fix compatibility with ``importlib_resources`` 3.2.0 and later.
(:issue:`[#5396](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/5396)`)
* Fix: No rebuild if "noarchive" build-option changes. (:issue:`[#5404](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/5404)`)
* (OSX) Fix the problem with ``Python`` shared library collected from
recent python versions not being loaded due to invalidated signature.
(:issue:`[#5062](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/5062)`, :issue:`[#5272](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/5272)`, :issue:`[#5434](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/5434)`)
* (Windows) PyInstaller's default icon is no longer built into the bootloader,
but
added at freeze-time. Thus, when specifiying an icon, only that icon is
contained in the executable and displayed for a shortcut. (:issue:`[#870](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/870)`,
:issue:`[#2995](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/2995)`)
* (Windows) Fix "toc is bad" error messages
when passing a ``VSVersionInfo``
as the ``version`` parameter to ``EXE()``
in a ``.spec`` file. (:issue:`[#5445](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/5445)`)
