- Restore compatability with 2.6.

9.0.2 (2018-03-16)

- Fallback to using SecureTransport on macOS when the linked OpenSSL is too old to support TLSv1.2.

9.0.1 (2016-11-06)

- Correct the deprecation message when not specifying a --format so that it uses the correct setting name (`format`) rather than the incorrect one (`list_format`) (#4058).
- Fix `pip check` to check all available distributions and not just the local ones (#4083).
- Fix a crash on non ASCII characters from lsb_release (#4062).
- Fix an SyntaxError in an an used module of a vendored dependency (#4059).
- Fix UNC paths on Windows (#4064).

9.0.0 (2016-11-02)

- BACKWARD INCOMPATIBLE Remove the attempted autodetection of requirement names from URLs, URLs must include a name via `#egg=`.
- DEPRECATION `pip install --egg` have been deprecated and will be removed in the future. This "feature" has a long list of drawbacks which break nearly all of pip's other features in subtle and hard-to-diagnose ways.
- DEPRECATION `--default-vcs` option (#4052).
- WARNING pip 9 cache can break forward compatibility with previous pip versions if your package repository allows chunked responses (#4078).
- Add a `pip check` command to check installed packages dependencies (PR #3750).
- Add option allowing user to abort pip operation if file/directory exists
- Add Appveyor CI
- Uninstall existing packages when performing an editable installation of the same packages (#1548).
- `pip show` is less verbose by default. `--verbose` prints multiline fields. (PR #3858).
- Add optional column formatting to `pip list` (#3651).
- Add `--not-required` option to `pip list`, which lists packages that are not dependencies of other packages.
- Fix builds on systems with symlinked `/tmp` directory for custom builds such as numpy (PR #3701).
- Fix regression in `pip freeze`: when there is more than one git remote, priority is given to the remote named `origin` (PR #3708, #3616).
- Fix crash when calling `pip freeze` with invalid requirement installed (PR #3704, #3681).
- Allow multiple `--requirement` files in `pip freeze` (PR #3703).
- Implementation of pep-503 `data-requires-python`. When this field is present for a release link, pip will ignore the download when installing to a Python version that doesn't satisfy the requirement.
- `pip wheel` now works on editable packages too (it was only working on editable dependencies before); this allows running `pip wheel` on the result of `pip freeze` in presence of editable requirements (PR #3695, #3291).
- Load credentials from `.netrc` files (PR #3715, #3569).
- Add `--platform`, `--python-version`, `--implementation` and `--abi` parameters to `pip download`. These allow utilities and advanced users to gather distributions for interpreters other than the one pip is being run on. (PR #3760)
- Skip scanning virtual environments, even when venv/bin/python is a dangling symlink.
- Added `pip completion` support for the `fish` shell.
- Fix problems on Windows on Python 2 when username or hostname contains non-ASCII characters (#3463, PR #3970, PR #4000).
- Use `git fetch --tags` to fetch tags in addition to everything else that is normally fetched; this is necessary in case a git requirement url points to a tag or commit that is not on a branch (PR #3791)
- Normalize package names before using in `pip show` (#3976)
- Raise when Requires-Python do not match the running version and add `--ignore-requires-python` option as escape hatch (PR #3846).
- Report the correct installed version when performing an upgrade in some corner cases (#2382)
- Add `-i` shorthand for `--index` flag in `pip search`
- Do not optionally load C dependencies in requests (#1840, #2930, #3024)

- Fix and deprecate package name detection from url path (#3523 and PR #3495).
- Correct the behavior where interpreter specific tags (such as cp34) were being used on later versions of the same interpreter instead of only for that specific interpreter (#3472).
- Fix an issue where pip would erroneously install a 64 bit wheel on a 32 bit Python running on a 64 bit macOS machine.

8.0.2 (2016-01-21)

- Stop attempting to trust the system CA trust store because it's extremely common for them to be broken, often in incompatible ways. See PR #3416.

8.0.1 (2016-01-21)

- Detect CAPaths in addition to CAFiles on platforms that provide them.
- Installing argparse or wsgiref will no longer warn or error - pip will allow the installation even though it may be useless (since the installed thing will be shadowed by the standard library).

- Deprecate and no-op the `--allow-external`, `--allow-all-external`, and `--allow-unverified` functionality that was added as part of PEP 438. With changes made to the repository protocol made in PEP 470, these options are no longer functional.
- Allow `--trusted-host` within a requirements file. #2822.
- Allow `--process-dependency-links` within a requirements file. #1274.

- Fixed #3141, when uninstalling, look for the case of paths containing symlinked directories (PR #3154)
- When installing, if building a wheel fails, clear up the build directory before falling back to a source install. #3047.
- Fix user directory expansion when `HOME=/`. Workaround for Python bug http://bugs.python.org/issue14768, reported in #2996.

- Fixed #1062, Exception(IOError) for `pip freeze` and `pip list` commands with subversion >= 1.7. (PR #3346)
- Provide a spinner showing that progress is happening when installing or building a package via `setup.py`. This will alleviate concerns that projects with unusually long build times have with pip appearing to stall.
- Include the functionality of `peep` into pip, allowing hashes to be baked into a requirements file and ensuring that the packages being downloaded match one of those hashes. This is an additional, opt-in security measure that, when used, removes the need to trust the repository.
- Fix a bug causing pip to not select a wheel compiled against an OSX SDK later than what Python itself was compiled against when running on a newer version of OSX.

- Gives VCS implementations control over saying whether a project is under their control (PR #3258)
- Git detection now works when `setup.py` is not at the Git repo root and when `package_dir` is used, so `pip freeze` works in more cases (PR #3258)
- Correctly freeze Git develop packages in presence of the &subdirectory option (PR #3258)
- The detection of editable packages now relies on the presence of `.egg-link` instead of looking for a VCS, so `pip list -e` is more reliable (PR #3258)
- Add the `--prefix` flag to `pip install` which allows specifying a root prefix to use instead of `sys.prefix` (PR #3252).
- Allow duplicate specifications in the case that only the extras differ, and union all specified extras together (PR #3198).
- Fix the detection of the user's current platform on OSX when determining the OSX SDK version (PR #3232).
- Prevent the automatically built wheels from mistakenly being used across multiple versions of Python when they may not be correctly configured for that by making the wheel specific to a specific version of Python and specific interpreter (PR #3225).
- Emulate the SOABI support in wheels from Python 2.x on Python 2.x as closely as we can with the information available within the interpreter (PR #3075).

- Upgrade packaging to 15.3.
  - Normalize post-release spellings for rev/r prefixes.

- `--no-use-wheel` and `--use-wheel` are deprecated in favour of new options `--no-binary` and `--only-binary`. The equivalent of `--no-use-wheel` is `--no-binary=:all:`. (PR #2699)
- The use of `--install-option`, `--global-option` or `--build-option` disable the use of wheels, and the autobuilding of wheels. (PR #2711) Fixes #2677

- Fix an infinite loop when the cache directory is stored on a file system which does not support hard links (PR #2796).
- Remove the implicit debug log that was written on every invocation, instead users will need to use `--log` if they wish to have one (PR #2798).

6.1.1 (2015-04-07)

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

6.1.0 (2015-04-07)

- 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)

- Fix an issue where the `--download` flag would cause pip to no longer use randomized build directories.
- Fix an issue where pip did not properly unquote quoted URLs which contain characters like PEP 440's epoch separator (`!`).
- Fix an issue where distutils installed projects were not actually uninstalled and deprecate attempting to uninstall them altogether.
- Retry deleting directories in case a process like an antivirus is holding the directory open temporarily.
- Fix an issue where pip would hide the cursor on Windows but would not reshow it.

- Fix an issue where ANSI escape codes would be used on Windows even though the Windows shell does not support them, causing odd characters to appear with the progress bar.
- Fix an issue where using -v would cause an exception saying `TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting`.
- Fix an issue where using -v with dependency links would cause an exception saying `TypeError: 'InstallationCandidate' object is not iterable`.
- Fix an issue where upgrading distribute would cause an exception saying `TypeError: expected string or buffer`.
- Show a warning and disable the use of the cache directory when the cache directory is not owned by the current user, commonly caused by using `sudo` without the `-H` flag.
- Update PEP 440 support to handle the latest changes to PEP 440, particularly the changes to `>V` and `<V` so that they no longer imply `!=V.*`.
- Document the default cache directories for each operating system.
- Create the cache directory when the pip version check needs to save to it instead of silently logging an error.

6.0 (2014-12-22)

- PROCESS Version numbers are now simply `X.Y` where the leading `1` has been dropped.
- BACKWARD INCOMPATIBLE Dropped support for Python 3.1.
- BACKWARD INCOMPATIBLE Removed the bundle support which was deprecated in 1.4. (PR #1806)

- BACKWARD INCOMPATIBLE The ability to install files over the FTP protocol was accidentally lost in pip 1.5 and it has now been decided to not restore that ability.
- BACKWARD INCOMPATIBLE PEP 440 is now fully implemented, this means that in some cases versions will sort differently or version specifiers will be interpreted differently than previously. The common cases should all function similarly to before.
- DEPRECATION `pip install --download-cache` and `pip wheel --download-cache` command line flags have been deprecated and the functionality removed. Since pip now automatically configures and uses it's internal HTTP cache which supplants the `--download-cache` the existing options have been made non functional but will still be accepted until their removal in pip v8.0. For more information please see https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install.html#caching

- Fixed #1559. Stop breaking when given pip commands in uppercase (PR #1725)
- Fixed #1618. Pip no longer adds duplicate logging consumers, so it won't create duplicate output when being called multiple times. (PR #1723)
- Fixed #1769. pip wheel now returns an error code if any wheels fail to build.
- Fixed #1775. pip wheel wasn't building wheels for dependencies of editable requirements.

- Allow the use of OS standard user configuration files instead of ones simply based around `$HOME`. (PR #2021)
- Fixed #1825. When installing directly from wheel paths or urls, previous versions were not uninstalled. This also fixes #804 specifically for the case of wheel archives. (PR #1838)
- Fixed #2075, detect the location of the `.egg-info` directory by looking for any file located inside of it instead of relying on the record file listing a directory. (PR #2076)

- Fixed #504 - allow package URLS to have querystrings. Thanks W. Trevor King.
- Fixed #58 - pip freeze now falls back to non-editable format rather than blowing up if it can't determine the origin repository of an editable. Thanks Rory McCann.

- Added support for using any of the built in guaranteed algorithms in `hashlib` as a checksum hash.
- Fixed #321 - Raise an exception if current working directory can't be found or accessed.
- Fixed #82 - Removed special casing of the user directory and use the Python default instead.

- Moved tests to be run on Travis CI: http://travis-ci.org/pypa/pip
- Added a better help formatter.

1.1 (2012-02-16)

- Added `--target` option for installing directly to arbitrary directory. Thanks Stavros Korokithakis.
- Added support for authentication with Subversion repositories. Thanks Qiangning Hong.
- Fixed #315 - `--download` now downloads dependencies as well. Thanks Qiangning Hong.
- Errors from subprocesses will display the current working directory. Thanks Antti Kaihola.

- Fixed #57 - ignore py2app-generated macOS mpkg zip files in finder. Thanks Rene Dudfield.
- Fixed #182 - log to ~/Library/Logs/ by default on macOS framework installs. Thanks Dan Callahan for report and patch.

- Fixed #366 - pip throws IndexError when it calls scraped_rel_links
- Fixed #22 - pip search should set and return a useful shell status code
- Fixed #351 and #365 - added global `--exists-action` command line option to easier script file exists conflicts, e.g. from editable requirements from VCS that have a changed repo URL.

      $ python get-pip.py

  This may have to be run as root.

  Note

  Make sure you have distribute installed before using the installer!

      pip install git+https://github.com/pypa/pip/

- Fixed #175 - Correctly locate build and source directory on macOS.

- Added `git+https://` scheme to Git VCS backend.

0.8

- Track which `build/` directories pip creates, never remove directories it doesn't create. From Hugo Lopes Tavares.
- Pip now accepts file:// index URLs. Thanks Dave Abrahams.
- Various cleanup to make test-running more consistent and less fragile. Thanks Dave Abrahams.
- Real Windows support (with passing tests). Thanks Dave Abrahams.

- Editable git repos are updated when reinstalled
- Fix problem with `--editable` when multiple `.egg-info/` directories are found.
- A number of VCS-related fixes for `pip freeze`, from Hugo Lopes Tavares.

0.7.1

- Fixed opening of logfile with no directory name. Thanks Alexandre Conrad.
- Temporary files are consistently cleaned up, especially after installing bundles, also from Alex Conrad.
- Tests now require at least ScriptTest 1.0.3.

0.7

- Fixed uninstallation on Windows
- Added `pip search` command.
- Tab-complete names of installed distributions for `pip uninstall`.
- Support tab-completion when there is a global-option before the subcommand.
- Install header files in standard (scheme-default) location when installing outside a virtualenv. Install them to a slightly more consistent non-standard location inside a virtualenv (since the standard location is a non-writable symlink to the global location).
- pip now logs to a central location by default (instead of creating `pip-log.txt` all over the place) and constantly overwrites the file in question. On Unix and macOS this is `'$HOME/.pip/pip.log'` and on Windows it's `'%HOME%\\pip\\pip.log'`. You are still able to override this location with the `$PIP_LOG_FILE` environment variable. For a complete (appended) logfile use the separate `'--log'` command line option.
- Fixed an issue with Git that left an editable package as a checkout of a remote branch, even if the default behaviour would have been fine, too.
- Fixed installing from a Git tag with older versions of Git.
- Expand "~" in logfile and download cache paths.
- Speed up installing from Mercurial repositories by cloning without updating the working copy multiple times.
- Fixed installing directly from directories (e.g. `pip install path/to/dir/`).
- Fixed installing editable packages with `svn+ssh` URLs.
- Don't print unwanted debug information when running the freeze command.
- Create log file directory automatically. Thanks Alexandre Conrad.

0.6

- Add `pip uninstall` and uninstall-before upgrade (from Carl Meyer).
- Extended configurability with config files and environment variables.
- Allow packages to be upgraded, e.g., `pip install Package==0.1` then `pip install Package==0.2`.
- Allow installing/upgrading to Package==dev (fix "Source version does not match target version" errors).
- Added command and option completion for bash and zsh.
- Extended integration with virtualenv by providing an option to automatically use an active virtualenv and an option to warn if no active virtualenv is found.

- Fixed uninstallation of easy_installed console_scripts.
- Fixed uninstallation on macOS Framework layout installs
- Fixed bug preventing uninstall of editables with source outside venv.
- Creates download cache directory if not existing.

0.5.1

- Fixed a couple little bugs, with git and with extensions.

0.5

- Added ability to override the default log file name (`pip-log.txt`) with the environmental variable `$PIP_LOG_FILE`.
- Made the freeze command print installed packages to stdout instead of writing them to a file. Use simple redirection (e.g. `pip freeze > stable-req.txt`) to get a file with requirements.
- Fixed problem with freezing editable packages from a Git repository.
- Added support for base URLs using `<base href='...'>` when parsing HTML pages.
- Fixed installing of non-editable packages from version control systems.
- Fixed issue with Bazaar's bzr+ssh scheme.
- Added --download-dir option to the install command to retrieve package archives. If given an editable package it will create an archive of it.
- Added ability to pass local file and directory paths to `--find-links`, e.g. `--find-links=file:///path/to/my/private/archive`
- Reduced the amount of console log messages when fetching a page to find a distribution was problematic. The full messages can be found in pip-log.txt.

- Added `--no-index` option to ignore the package index (PyPI) temporarily
- Fixed installing editable packages from Git branches.
- Fixes freezing of editable packages from Mercurial repositories.
- Fixed handling read-only attributes of build files, e.g. of Subversion and Bazaar on Windows.
- When downloading a file from a redirect, use the redirected location's extension to guess the compression (happens specifically when redirecting to a bitbucket.org tip.gz file).
- Editable freeze URLs now always use revision hash/id rather than tip or branch names which could move.
- Fixed comparison of repo URLs so incidental differences such as presence/absence of final slashes or quoted/unquoted special characters don't trigger "ignore/switch/wipe/backup" choice.
- Fixed handling of attempt to checkout editable install to a non-empty, non-repo directory.

0.4

- 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.
- Fix the way bundle components are unpacked and moved around, to make bundles work.
- Adds `-s` option to allow the access to the global site-packages if a virtualenv is to be created.
- Fixed support for Subversion 1.6.

0.3.1

- Improved virtualenv restart and various path/cleanup problems on win32.
- 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`

0.3

- 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`.

0.2.1

- Fixed small problem that prevented using `pip.py` without actually installing pip.
- Fixed `--upgrade`, which would download and appear to install upgraded packages, but actually just reinstall the existing package.
- Fixed Windows problem with putting the install record in the right place, and generating the `pip` script with Setuptools.
- 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.

0.2

- Renamed to `pip`, and to install you now do `pip install PACKAGE`
- Added command `pip zip PACKAGE` and `pip unzip PACKAGE`. This is particularly intended for Google App Engine to manage libraries to stay under the 1000-file limit.
- Some fixes to bundles, especially editable packages and when creating a bundle using unnamed packages (like just an svn repository without `#egg=Package`).

0.1.4

- Added an option `--install-option` to pass options to pass arguments to `setup.py install`
- `.svn/` directories are no longer included in bundles, as these directories are specific to a version of svn -- if you build a bundle on a system with svn 1.5, you can't use the checkout on a system with svn 1.4. Instead a file `svn-checkout.txt` is included that notes the original location and revision, and the command you can use to turn it back into an svn checkout. (Probably unpacking the bundle should, maybe optionally, recreate this information -- but that is not currently implemented, and it would require network access.)
- Avoid ambiguities over project name case, where for instance MyPackage and mypackage would be considered different packages. This in particular caused problems on Macs, where `MyPackage/` and `mypackage/` are the same directory.
- Added support for an environmental variable `$PIP_DOWNLOAD_CACHE` which will cache package downloads, so future installations won't require large downloads. Network access is still required, but just some downloads will be avoided when using this.

0.1.3

- Always use `svn checkout` (not `export`) so that `tag_svn_revision` settings give the revision of the package.
- Don't update checkouts that came from `.pybundle` files.

0.1.2

- Improve error text when there are errors fetching HTML pages when seeking packages.
- Improve bundles: include empty directories, make them work with editable packages.
- If you use `-E env` and the environment `env/` doesn't exist, a new virtual environment will be created.
- Fix `dependency_links` for finding packages.

0.1.1

- Fixed a NameError exception when running pip outside of a virtualenv environment.
- Added HTTP proxy support (from Prabhu Ramachandran)
- Fixed use of `hashlib.md5` on python2.5+ (also from Prabhu Ramachandran)
