[Compare Source](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/compare/v63.0.0...v63.1.0)
Changes
^^^^^^^
- [#3430](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3430): Merge with [pypa/distutils@`152c13d`](https://togithub.com/pypa/distutils/commit/152c13d) including [pypa/distutils#155](https://togithub.com/pypa/distutils/issues/155) (improved compatibility for editable installs on homebrew Python 3.9), [pypa/distutils#150](https://togithub.com/pypa/distutils/issues/150) (better handling of runtime_library_dirs on cygwin), and [pypa/distutils#151](https://togithub.com/pypa/distutils/issues/151) (remove warnings for namespace packages).

[Compare Source](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/compare/v62.6.0...v63.0.0)
Breaking Changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- [#3421](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3421): Drop setuptools' support for installing an entrypoint extra requirements at load time:
- the functionality has been broken since v60.8.0.
- the mechanism to do so is deprecated (`fetch_build_eggs`).
- that use case (e.g. a custom command class entrypoint) is covered by making sure the necessary build requirements are declared.
Documentation changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- [#3305](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3305): Updated the example pyproject.toml -- by :user:`jacalata`
- [#3394](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3394): This updates the documentation for the `file_finders` hook so that
the logging recommendation aligns with the suggestion to not use
`distutils` directly.
- [#3397](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3397): Fix reference for `keywords` to point to the Core Metadata Specification
instead of PEP 314 (the live standard is kept always up-to-date and
consolidates several PEPs together in a single document).
- [#3402](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3402): Reordered the User Guide's Table of Contents -- by :user:`codeandfire`

Changes
^^^^^^^
- [#3347](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3347): Changed warnings and documentation notes about *experimental* aspect of `pyproject.toml` configuration:
now `[project]` is a fully supported configuration interface, but the `[tool.setuptools]` table
and sub-tables are still considered to be in **beta** stage.
- [#3383](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3383): In \_distutils_hack, suppress/undo the use of local distutils when select tests are imported in CPython.
Documentation changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- [#3368](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3368): Added documentation page about extension modules -- by :user:`mkoeppe`
- [#3371](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3371): Moved documentation from `/userguide/commands` to `/depracted/commands`.
This change was motived by the fact that running `python setup.py` directly is
considered a deprecated practice.
- [#3372](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3372): Consolidated sections about `sdist` contents and `MANIFEST.in` into a single page.
Added a simple `MANIFEST.in` example.
- [#3373](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3373): Moved remarks about using :pypi:`Cython` to the newly created page for
extension modules.
- [#3374](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3374): Added clarification that using `python setup.py egg_info` commands to
manage project versions is only supported in a *transitional* basis, and
that eventually `egg_info` will be deprecated.
Reorganized sections with tips for managing versions.
- [#3378](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3378): Updated `Quickstart` docs to make it easier to follow for beginners.
Misc
^^^^
- [#3385](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3385): Modules used to parse and evaluate configuration from `pyproject.toml` files are
intended for internal use only and that not part of the public API.

- [#3364](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3364): Update documentation about dependency management, removing mention to
the deprecated `dependency_links` and adding some small improvements.
- [#3367](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3367): Extracted text about automatic resource extraction and the zip-safe flag
from `userguide/miscellaneous` to `deprecated/resource_extraction` and
`deprecated/zip_safe`.
Extracted text about additional metadata files from
`userguide/miscellaneous` into the existing `userguide/extension`
document.
Updated `userguide/extension` to better reflect the status of the
setuptools project.
Removed `userguide/functionalities_rewrite` (a virtually empty part of the
docs).

[Compare Source](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/compare/v62.2.0...v62.3.0)
Deprecations
^^^^^^^^^^^^
- [#3262](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3262): Formally added deprecation messages for `namespace_packages`.
The methodology that uses `pkg_resources` and `namespace_packages` for
creating namespaces was already discouraged by the :doc:`setuptools docs ` and the
:doc:`Python Packaging User Guide `,
therefore this change just make the deprecation more official.
Users can consider migrating to native/implicit namespaces (as introduced in
:pep:`420`).
- [#3308](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3308): Relying on `include_package_data` to ensure sub-packages are automatically
added to the build wheel distribution (as "data") is now considered a
deprecated practice.
This behaviour was controversial and caused inconsistencies ([#3260](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3260)).
Instead, projects are encouraged to properly configure `packages` or use
discovery tools. General information can be found in :doc:`userguide/package_discovery`.
Changes
^^^^^^^
- [#1806](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/1806): Allowed recursive globs (`**`) in `package_data`. -- by :user:`nullableVoidPtr`
- [#3206](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3206): Fixed behaviour when both `install_requires` (in `setup.py`) and
`dependencies` (in `pyproject.toml`) are specified.
The configuration in `pyproject.toml` will take precedence over `setup.py`
(in accordance with PEP 621). A warning was added to inform users.
Documentation changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- [#3307](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3307): Added introduction to references/keywords.
Added deprecation tags to test kwargs.
Moved userguide/keywords to deprecated section.
Clarified in deprecated doc what keywords came from distutils and which were added or changed by setuptools.
Misc
^^^^
- [#3274](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3274): Updated version of vendored `pyparsing` to 3.0.8 to avoid problems with
upcoming deprecation in Python 3.11.
- [#3292](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3292): Added warning about incompatibility with old versions of
`importlib-metadata`.

Changes
^^^^^^^
- [#3299](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3299): Optional metadata fields are now truly optional. Includes merge with [pypa/distutils@`a7cfb56`](https://togithub.com/pypa/distutils/commit/a7cfb56) per [pypa/distutils#138](https://togithub.com/pypa/distutils/issues/138).

- [#3233](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3233): Added script that allows developers to download `setupcfg_examples.txt` prior to
running tests. By caching these files it should be possible to run the test suite
offline.

^^^^^^^
- [#3229](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3229): Disabled automatic download of `trove-classifiers` to facilitate reproducibility.
Misc
^^^^
- [#3229](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3229): Updated `pyproject.toml` validation via `validate-pyproject` v0.7.1.
- [#3229](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3229): New internal tool made available for updating the code responsible for
the validation of `pyproject.toml`.

[Compare Source](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/compare/v61.1.1...v61.2.0)
Changes
^^^^^^^
- [#3215](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3215): Ignored a subgroup of invalid `pyproject.toml` files that use the `[project]`
table to specify only `requires-python` (**transitional**).
.. warning::
Please note that future releases of setuptools will halt the build process
if a `pyproject.toml` file that does not match doc:`the PyPA Specification ` is given.
- [#3215](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3215): Updated `pyproject.toml` validation, as generated by `validate-pyproject==0.6.1`.
- [#3218](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3218): Prevented builds from erroring if the project specifies metadata via
`pyproject.toml`, but uses other files (e.g. `setup.py`) to complement it,
without setting `dynamic` properly.
.. important::
This is a **transitional** behaviour.
Future releases of `setuptools` may simply ignore externally set metadata
not backed by `dynamic` or even halt the build with an error.
- [#3224](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3224): Merge changes from [pypa/distutils@`e1d5c9b`](https://togithub.com/pypa/distutils/commit/e1d5c9b1f6)
Documentation changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- [#3217](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3217): Fixed typo in `pyproject.toml` example in Quickstart -- by :user:`pablo-cardenas`.
Misc
^^^^
- [#3223](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3223): Fixed missing requirements with environment markers when
`optional-dependencies` is set in `pyproject.toml`.
### [`v61.1.1`](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/blob/HEAD/CHANGES.rst#v6111)
[Compare Source](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/compare/v61.1.0...v61.1.1)
Misc
^^^^
- [#3212](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3212): Fixed missing dependencies when running `setup.py install`.
Note that calling `setup.py install` directly is still deprecated and
will be removed in future versions of `setuptools`.
Please check the release notes for :ref:`setup_install_deprecation_note`.
### [`v61.1.0`](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/blob/HEAD/CHANGES.rst#v6110)
[Compare Source](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/compare/v61.0.0...v61.1.0)
Deprecations
^^^^^^^^^^^^
- [#3206](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3206): Changed `setuptools.convert_path` to an internal function that is not exposed
as part of setuptools API.
Future releases of `setuptools` are likely to remove this function.
Changes
^^^^^^^
- [#3202](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3202): Changed behaviour of auto-discovery to not explicitly expand `package_dir`
for flat-layouts and to not use relative paths starting with `./`.
- [#3203](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3203): Prevented `pyproject.toml` parsing from overwriting
`dist.include_package_data` explicitly set in `setup.py` with default
value.
- [#3208](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3208): Added a warning for non existing files listed with the `file` directive in
`setup.cfg` and `pyproject.toml`.
- [#3208](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3208): Added a default value for dynamic `classifiers` in `pyproject.toml` when
files are missing and errors being ignored.
- [#3211](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3211): Disabled auto-discovery when distribution class has a `configuration`
attribute (e.g. when the `setup.py` script contains `setup(...,
configuration=...)`). This is done to ensure extension-only packages created
with `numpy.distutils.misc_util.Configuration` are not broken by the safe
guard
behaviour to avoid accidental multiple top-level packages in a flat-layout.
.. note::
Users that don't set `packages`, `py_modules`, or `configuration` are
still likely to observe the auto-discovery behavior, which may halt the
build if the project contains multiple directories and/or multiple Python
files directly under the project root.
To disable auto-discovery please explicitly set either `packages` or
`py_modules`. Alternatively you can also configure :ref:`custom-discovery`.
### [`v61.0.0`](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/blob/HEAD/CHANGES.rst#v6100)
[Compare Source](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/compare/v60.10.0...v61.0.0)
Deprecations
^^^^^^^^^^^^
- [#3068](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3068): Deprecated `setuptools.config.read_configuration`,
`setuptools.config.parse_configuration` and other functions or classes
from `setuptools.config`.
Users that still need to parse and process configuration from `setup.cfg` can
import a direct replacement from `setuptools.config.setupcfg`, however this
module is transitional and might be removed in the future
(the `setup.cfg` configuration format itself is likely to be deprecated in the future).
Breaking Changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- [#2894](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/2894): If you purposefully want to create an *"empty distribution"*, please be aware
that some Python files (or general folders) might be automatically detected and
included.
Projects that currently don't specify both `packages` and `py_modules` in their
configuration and contain extra folders or Python files (not meant for distribution),
might see these files being included in the wheel archive or even experience
the build to fail.
You can check details about the automatic discovery (and how to configure a
different behaviour) in :doc:`/userguide/package_discovery`.
- [#3067](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3067): If the file `pyproject.toml` exists and it includes project
metadata/config (via `[project]` table or `[tool.setuptools]`),
a series of new behaviors that are not backward compatible may take place:
- The default value of `include_package_data` will be considered to be `True`.
- Setuptools will attempt to validate the `pyproject.toml` file according
to PEP 621 specification.
- The values specified in `pyproject.toml` will take precedence over those
specified in `setup.cfg` or `setup.py`.
Changes
^^^^^^^
- [#2887](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/2887): **\[EXPERIMENTAL]** Added automatic discovery for `py_modules` and `packages`
\-- by :user:`abravalheri`.
Setuptools will try to find these values assuming that the package uses either
the *src-layout* (a `src` directory containing all the packages or modules),
the *flat-layout* (package directories directly under the project root),
or the *single-module* approach (an isolated Python file, directly under
the project root).
The automatic discovery will also respect layouts that are explicitly
configured using the `package_dir` option.
For backward-compatibility, this behavior will be observed **only if both**
`py_modules` **and** `packages` **are not set**.
(**Note**: specifying `ext_modules` might also prevent auto-discover from
taking place)
If setuptools detects modules or packages that are not supposed to be in the
distribution, please manually set `py_modules` and `packages` in your
`setup.cfg` or `setup.py` file.
If you are using a *flat-layout*, you can also consider switching to
*src-layout*.
- [#2887](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/2887): **\[EXPERIMENTAL]** Added automatic configuration for the `name` metadata
\-- by :user:`abravalheri`.
Setuptools will adopt the name of the top-level package (or module in the case
of single-module distributions), **only when** `name` **is not explicitly
provided**.
Please note that it is not possible to automatically derive a single name when
the distribution consists of multiple top-level packages or modules.
- [#3066](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3066): Added vendored dependencies for :pypi:`tomli`, :pypi:`validate-pyproject`.
These dependencies are used to read `pyproject.toml` files and validate them.
- [#3067](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3067): **\[EXPERIMENTAL]** When using `pyproject.toml` metadata,
the default value of `include_package_data` is changed to `True`.
- [#3068](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3068): **\[EXPERIMENTAL]** Add support for `pyproject.toml` configuration
(as introduced by :pep:`621`). Configuration parameters not covered by
standards are handled in the `[tool.setuptools]` sub-table.
In the future, existing `setup.cfg` configuration
may be automatically converted into the `pyproject.toml` equivalent before taking effect
(as proposed in [#1688](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/1688)). Meanwhile users can use automated tools like
:pypi:`ini2toml` to help in the transition.
Please note that the legacy backend is not guaranteed to work with
`pyproject.toml` configuration.
\-- by :user:`abravalheri`
- [#3125](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3125): Implicit namespaces (as introduced in :pep:`420`) are now considered by default
during :doc:`package discovery `, when
`setuptools` configuration and project metadata are added to the
`pyproject.toml` file.
To disable this behaviour, use `namespaces = False` when explicitly setting
the `[tool.setuptools.packages.find]` section in `pyproject.toml`.
This change is backwards compatible and does not affect the behaviour of
configuration done in `setup.cfg` or `setup.py`.
- [#3152](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3152): **\[EXPERIMENTAL]** Added support for `attr:` and `cmdclass` configurations
in `setup.cfg` and `pyproject.toml` when `package_dir` is implicitly
found via auto-discovery.

^^^^
- [#3065](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3065): Refactored `setuptools.config` by separating configuration parsing (specific
to the configuration file format, e.g. `setup.cfg`) and post-processing
(which includes directives such as `file:` that can be used across different
configuration formats).

files, in favour of importlib.resources.
Additionally more emphasis was put on the fact that *package data files* reside
**inside** the *package directory* (and therefore should be *read-only*).
Misc
^^^^

- Removed bootstrap script.
.. warning:: Users trying to install the unmaintained :pypi:`pathlib` backport
from PyPI/`sdist`/source code may find problems when using `setuptools >= 60.9.0`.
This happens because during the installation, the unmaintained
implementation of `pathlib` is loaded and may cause compatibility problems
(it does not expose the same public API defined in the Python standard library).
Whenever possible users should avoid declaring `pathlib` as a dependency.
An alternative is to pre-build a wheel for `pathlib` using a separated
virtual environment with an older version of setuptools and install the
library directly from the pre-built wheel.

root for builds, and therefore creating directories (e.g. `build`, `dist`,
`*.egg-info`) that could interfere with the outcome of other tests
\-- by :user:`abravalheri`.
- [#2968](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/2968): Introduced new test fixtures `venv`, `venv_without_setuptools`,
`bare_venv` that rely on the `jaraco.envs` package.
These new test fixtures were also used to remove the (currently problematic)
dependency on the `pytest_virtualenv` plugin.
- [#2968](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/2968): Removed `tmp_src` test fixture. Previously this fixture was copying all the
files and folders under the project root, including the `.git` directory,
which is error prone and increases testing time.
Since `tmp_src` was used to populate virtual environments (installing the
version of `setuptools` under test via the source tree), it was replaced by
the new `setuptools_sdist` and `setuptools_wheel` fixtures (that are build
only once per session testing and can be shared between all the workers for
read-only usage).

Added a simple `MANIFEST.in` example. - [#3373](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3373): Moved remarks about using :pypi:`Cython` to the newly created page for extension modules. - [#3374](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3374): Added clarification that using `python setup.py egg_info` commands to manage project versions is only supported in a *transitional* basis, and that eventually `egg_info` will be deprecated. Reorganized sections with tips for managing versions. - [#3378](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3378): Updated `Quickstart` docs to make it easier to follow for beginners. Misc ^^^^ - [#3385](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3385): Modules used to parse and evaluate configuration from `pyproject.toml` files are intended for internal use only and that not part of the public API. ### [`v62.4.0`](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/blob/HEAD/CHANGES.rst#v6240) [Compare Source](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/compare/v62.3.4...v62.4.0) Changes ^^^^^^^ - [#3256](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3256): Added setuptools.command.build command to match distutils.command.build -- by :user:`isuruf` - [#3366](https://togithub.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3366): Merge with [pypa/distutils@`75ed79d`](https://togithub.com/pypa/distutils/commit/75ed79d) including reformat using black, fix for Cygwin support ([pypa/distutils#139](https://togithub.com/pypa/distutils/issues/139)), and improved support for cross compiling ([pypa/distutils#144](https://togithub.com/pypa/distutils/issues/144) and [pypa/distutils#145](https://togithub.com/pypa/distutils/issues/145)).
