Changes & News -------------- 1.4.8 ----- * Fix for Mac OS X Framework builds that use ``--universal-archs=intel`` * Fix ``activate_this.py`` on Windows. * Allow ``$PYTHONHOME`` to be set, so long as you use ``source bin/activate`` it will get unset; if you leave it set and do not activate the environment it will still break the environment. * Include pip 0.7.1 1.4.7 ----- * Include pip 0.7 1.4.6 ~~~~~ * Allow ``activate.sh`` to skip updating the prompt (by setting ``$VIRTUAL_ENV_DISABLE_PROMPT``). 1.4.5 ~~~~~ * Include pip 0.6.3 * Fix ``activate.bat`` and ``deactivate.bat`` under Windows when ``PATH`` contained a parenthesis 1.4.4 ~~~~~ * Include pip 0.6.2 and Distribute 0.6.10 * Create the ``virtualenv`` script even when Setuptools isn't installed * Fix problem with ``virtualenv --relocate`` when ``bin/`` has subdirectories (e.g., ``bin/.svn/``); from Alan Franzoni. * If you set ``$VIRTUALENV_USE_DISTRIBUTE`` then virtualenv will use Distribute by default (so you don't have to remember to use ``--distribute``). 1.4.3 ~~~~~ * Include pip 0.6.1 1.4.2 ~~~~~ * Fix pip installation on Windows * Fix use of stand-alone ``virtualenv.py`` (and boot scripts) * Exclude ~/.local (user site-packages) from environments when using ``--no-site-packages`` 1.4.1 ~~~~~ * Include pip 0.6 1.4 ~~~ * Updated setuptools to 0.6c11 * Added the --distribute option * Fixed packaging problem of support-files 1.3.4 ~~~~~ * Virtualenv now copies the actual embedded Python binary on Mac OS X to fix a hang on Snow Leopard (10.6). * Fail more gracefully on Windows when ``win32api`` is not installed. * Fix site-packages taking precedent over Jython's ``__classpath__`` and also specially handle the new ``__pyclasspath__`` entry in ``sys.path``. * Now copies Jython's ``registry`` file to the virtualenv if it exists. * Better find libraries when compiling extensions on Windows. * Create ``Scripts\pythonw.exe`` on Windows. * Added support for the Debian/Ubuntu ``/usr/lib/pythonX.Y/dist-packages`` directory. * Set ``distutils.sysconfig.get_config_vars()['LIBDIR']`` (based on ``sys.real_prefix``) which is reported to help building on Windows. * Make ``deactivate`` work on ksh * Fixes for ``--python``: make it work with ``--relocatable`` and the symlink created to the exact Python version. 1.3.3 ~~~~~ * Use Windows newlines in ``activate.bat``, which has been reported to help when using non-ASCII directory names. * Fixed compatibility with Jython 2.5b1. * Added a function ``virtualenv.install_python`` for more fine-grained access to what ``virtualenv.create_environment`` does. * Fix `a problem `_ with Windows and paths that contain spaces. * If ``/path/to/env/.pydistutils.cfg`` exists (or ``/path/to/env/pydistutils.cfg`` on Windows systems) then ignore ``~/.pydistutils.cfg`` and use that other file instead. * Fix ` a problem `_ picking up some ``.so`` libraries in ``/usr/local``. 1.3.2 ~~~~~ * Remove the ``[install] prefix = ...`` setting from the virtualenv ``distutils.cfg`` -- this has been causing problems for a lot of people, in rather obscure ways. * If you use a `boot script <./index.html#boot-script>`_ it will attempt to import ``virtualenv`` and find a pre-downloaded Setuptools egg using that. * Added platform-specific paths, like ``/usr/lib/pythonX.Y/plat-linux2`` 1.3.1 ~~~~~ * Real Python 2.6 compatibility. Backported the Python 2.6 updates to ``site.py``, including `user directories `_ (this means older versions of Python will support user directories, whether intended or not). * Always set ``[install] prefix`` in ``distutils.cfg`` -- previously on some platforms where a system-wide ``distutils.cfg`` was present with a ``prefix`` setting, packages would be installed globally (usually in ``/usr/local/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages``). * Sometimes Cygwin seems to leave ``.exe`` off ``sys.executable``; a workaround is added. * Fix ``--python`` option. * Fixed handling of Jython environments that use a jython-complete.jar. 1.3 ~~~ * Update to Setuptools 0.6c9 * Added an option ``virtualenv --relocatable EXISTING_ENV``, which will make an existing environment "relocatable" -- the paths will not be absolute in scripts, ``.egg-info`` and ``.pth`` files. This may assist in building environments that can be moved and copied. You have to run this *after* any new packages installed. * Added ``bin/activate_this.py``, a file you can use like ``execfile("path_to/activate_this.py", dict(__file__="path_to/activate_this.py"))`` -- this will activate the environment in place, similar to what `the mod_wsgi example does `_. * For Mac framework builds of Python, the site-packages directory ``/Library/Python/X.Y/site-packages`` is added to ``sys.path``, from Andrea Rech. * Some platform-specific modules in Macs are added to the path now (``plat-darwin/``, ``plat-mac/``, ``plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages``), from Andrea Rech. * Fixed a small Bashism in the ``bin/activate`` shell script. * Added ``__future__`` to the list of required modules, for Python 2.3. You'll still need to backport your own ``subprocess`` module. * Fixed the ``__classpath__`` entry in Jython's ``sys.path`` taking precedent over virtualenv's libs. 1.2 ~~~ * Added a ``--python`` option to select the Python interpreter. * Add ``warnings`` to the modules copied over, for Python 2.6 support. * Add ``sets`` to the module copied over for Python 2.3 (though Python 2.3 still probably doesn't work). 1.1.1 ~~~~~ * Added support for Jython 2.5. 1.1 ~~~ * Added support for Python 2.6. * Fix a problem with missing ``DLLs/zlib.pyd`` on Windows. Create * ``bin/python`` (or ``bin/python.exe``) even when you run virtualenv with an interpreter named, e.g., ``python2.4`` * Fix MacPorts Python * Added --unzip-setuptools option * Update to Setuptools 0.6c8 * If the current directory is not writable, run ez_setup.py in ``/tmp`` * Copy or symlink over the ``include`` directory so that packages will more consistently compile. 1.0 ~~~ * Fix build on systems that use ``/usr/lib64``, distinct from ``/usr/lib`` (specifically CentOS x64). * Fixed bug in ``--clear``. * Fixed typos in ``deactivate.bat``. * Preserve ``$PYTHONPATH`` when calling subprocesses. 0.9.2 ~~~~~ * Fix include dir copying on Windows (makes compiling possible). * Include the main ``lib-tk`` in the path. * Patch ``distutils.sysconfig``: ``get_python_inc`` and ``get_python_lib`` to point to the global locations. * Install ``distutils.cfg`` before Setuptools, so that system customizations of ``distutils.cfg`` won't effect the installation. * Add ``bin/pythonX.Y`` to the virtualenv (in addition to ``bin/python``). * Fixed an issue with Mac Framework Python builds, and absolute paths (from Ronald Oussoren). 0.9.1 ~~~~~ * Improve ability to create a virtualenv from inside a virtualenv. * Fix a little bug in ``bin/activate``. * Actually get ``distutils.cfg`` to work reliably. 0.9 ~~~ * Added ``lib-dynload`` and ``config`` to things that need to be copied over in an environment. * Copy over or symlink the ``include`` directory, so that you can build packages that need the C headers. * Include a ``distutils`` package, so you can locally update ``distutils.cfg`` (in ``lib/pythonX.Y/distutils/distutils.cfg``). * Better avoid downloading Setuptools, and hitting PyPI on environment creation. * Fix a problem creating a ``lib64/`` directory. * Should work on MacOSX Framework builds (the default Python installations on Mac). Thanks to Ronald Oussoren. 0.8.4 ~~~~~ * Windows installs would sometimes give errors about ``sys.prefix`` that were inaccurate. * Slightly prettier output. 0.8.3 ~~~~~ * Added support for Windows. 0.8.2 ~~~~~ * Give a better warning if you are on an unsupported platform (Mac Framework Pythons, and Windows). * Give error about running while inside a workingenv. * Give better error message about Python 2.3. 0.8.1 ~~~~~ Fixed packaging of the library. 0.8 ~~~ Initial release. Everything is changed and new!
