What's new in pip 8.1.1

Jun 6, 2016
  • Fix regression with non-ascii requirement files on Python 2 and add support for encoding headers in requirement files (#3548, PR #3547).

New in pip 7.1.2 (Aug 23, 2015)

  • Don't raise an error if pip is not installed when checking for the latest pip version.

New in pip 7.1.1 (Aug 21, 2015)

  • Check that the wheel cache directory is writable before we attempt to write cached files to them.
  • Move the pip version check until after any installs have been performed, thus removing the extraenous warning when upgrading pip.
  • Added debug logging when using a cached wheel.
  • Respect platlib by default on platforms that have it separated from purlib.
  • Upgrade ipaddress to 1.0.13.
  • Upgrade packaging to 15.3:
  • Normalize post-release spellings for rev/r prefixes.
  • Upgrade distlib to 0.2.1:
  • Updated launchers to decode shebangs using UTF-8. This allows non-ASCII pathnames to be correctly handled.
  • Ensured that the executable written to shebangs is normcased.
  • Changed ScriptMaker to work better under Jython.

New in pip 7.0.3 (Jun 4, 2015)

  • Fixed a regression where --no-cache-dir would raise an exception, fixes #2855.

New in pip 7.0.2 (Jun 4, 2015)

  • BACKWARD INCOMPATIBLE Revert the change (released in v7.0.0) that required quoting in requirements files around specifiers containing environment markers. (PR #2841)
  • BACKWARD INCOMPATIBLE Revert the accidental introduction of support for options interleaved with requirements, version specifiers etc in requirements files. (PR #2841)
  • Expand ~ in the cache directory when caching wheels, fixes #2816.
  • Use python -m pip instead of pip when recommending an upgrade command to Windows users.

New in pip 7.0.1 (May 23, 2015)

  • Don't build and cache wheels for non-editable installations from VCSs.
  • Allow --allow-all-external inside of a requirements.txt file, fixing a regression in 7.0.

New in pip 6.1.1 (Apr 7, 2015)

  • No longer ignore dependencies which have been added to the standard library, instead continue to install them.

New in pip 6.1.0 (Apr 7, 2015)

  • Fixes #2502. Upgrades were failing when no potential links were found for dependencies other than the current installation. (PR #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. (PR #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. (PR #2475)
  • Don't use pywin32 as ctypes should always be available on Windows, using pywin32 prevented uninstallation of pywin32 on Windows. (PR #2467)
  • Normalize the --wheel-dir option, expanding out constructs such as ~ when used (PR #2441).
  • Display a warning when an undefined extra has been requested. (PR #2142)
  • Speed up installing a directory in certain cases by creating a sdist instead of copying the entire directory. (PR #2535)
  • Don't follow symlinks when uninstalling files (PR #2552)
  • Upgrade the bundled copy of cachecontrol from 0.11.1 to 0.11.2. Fixes #2481 (PR #2595)

  • Output warnings and errors to stderr instead of stdout. (PR #2543)
  • Adjust the cache dir file checks to only check ownership if the effective user is root. (PR #2396)

  • Show a warning and disable the use of the cache directory when the cache directory is not owned by the current use, commonly caused by using sudo without the -H flag.

New in pip 0.4 (May 28, 2009)

  • Make -e work better with local hg repositories
  • Construct PyPI URLs the exact way easy_install constructs URLs (you might notice this if you use a custom index that is slash-sensitive).
  • Improvements on Windows (from Ionel Maries Cristian).
  • Fixed problem with not being able to install private git repositories.
  • Make pip zip zip all its arguments, not just the first.
  • Fix some filename issues on Windows.
  • Allow the -i and --extra-index-url options in requirements files.

New in pip 0.3.1 (Jan 30, 2009)

  • Fixed a regression with installing from svn repositories (when not using -e).
  • Fixes when installing editable packages that put their source in a subdirectory (like src/).
  • Improve pip -h

New in pip 0.2.1 (Jan 21, 2009)

  • Added support for editable packages created from Git, Mercurial and Bazaar repositories and ability to freeze them. Refactored support for version control systems.
  • Do not use sys.exit() from inside the code, instead use a return. This will make it easier to invoke programmatically.
  • Put the install record in Package.egg-info/installed-files.txt (previously they went in site-packages/install-record-Package.txt).
  • Fix a problem with pip freeze not including -e svn+ when an svn structure is peculiar.
  • Allow pip -E to work with a virtualenv that uses a different version of Python than the parent environment.
  • Fixed Win32 virtualenv (-E) option.
  • Search the links passed in with -f for packages.
  • Detect zip files, even when the file doesn’t have a .zip extension and it is served with the wrong Content-Type.
  • Installing editable from existing source now works, like pip install -e some/path/ will install the package in some/path/. Most importantly, anything that package requires will also be installed by pip.
  • Add a --path option to pip un/zip, so you can avoid zipping files that are outside of where you expect.
  • Add --simulate option to pip zip.

New in pip 0.2.1 (Nov 18, 2008)

  • Download links that include embedded spaces or other unsafe characters (those characters get %-encoded).
  • Fixed use of URLs in requirement files, and problems with some blank lines.
  • Turn some tar file errors into warnings.
