The current version is now 77.0.3. Seems to be a lot of churn lately.

[Bruce Dubbs]

New major version.

[Bruce Dubbs]

Now 78.1.0.

[Bruce Dubbs]

v78.1.0

• Restore access to _get_vc_env with a warning.

v78.0.2

• Postponed removals of deprecated dash-separated and uppercase fields in setup.cfg. All packages with deprecated configurations are advised to move before 2026.

v78.0.0

• Reverted distutils changes that broke the monkey patching of command classes.

• Deprecations and Removals

• Setuptools no longer accepts options containing uppercase or dash characters in setup.cfg. Please ensure to write the options in setup.cfg using the :wiki:lower_snake_case <Snake_case> convention (e.g. Name => name, install-requires => install_requires). This is a follow-up on deprecations introduced in v54.1.0 <https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/history.html#v54-1-0>_ and v54.1.1 <https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/history.html#v54-1-1>_ .

-- note

This change *does not affect configurations in* pyproject.toml (which uses the :wiki:lower-kebab-case <Letter_case#Kebab_case> convention following the precedent set in :pep:517/:pep:518).

v77.0.3

• Temporarily convert error for license glob patterns containing ../ into a deprecation warning to allow an accomodation period.
• Better error messages for packaging.licenses import errors in environments with packaging<24.2\. The import statement was also deferred to spare users that are not using license expressions.
• Avoided eagerly raising an exception when license-files is defined simultaneously inside and outside of pyproject.toml. Instead we rely on the existing deprecation error.

v77.0.2

• Restore distutils.ccompiler._default_compilers -- by :user:ManiacDC
• Fixed copy pasta in msvc.shared_lib_format\.

v77.0.1

• Manually fix news fragment entries causing CI to crash when building docs.

v77.0.0

• Added initial support for license expression (PEP :pep:639 <639#add-license-expression-field>).
• Store License-File\s in .dist-info/licenses subfolder and added support for recursive globs for license_files (PEP :pep:639 <639#add-license-expression-field>).
• Bump core metadata version to 2.4\. -- by :user:cdce8p
• Updated vendored copy of wheel to v0.45.1\.

Deprecations and Removals

• Added initial implementation of :pep:639. Users relying on pre- :pep:639 implementation details (like precise license file paths inside dist-info directory) may need to adjust their code base to avoid problems. Deprecations and stronger validation were also introduced
• Added exception (or warning) when deprecated license classifiers are used, according to PEP :pep:639 <639#deprecate-license-classifiers>.
• Deprecated tools.setuptools.license-files in favor of project.license-files and added exception if project.license-files and tools.setuptools.license-files are used together.
• Deprecated project.license as a TOML table in pyproject.toml\. Users are expected to move towards using project.license-files and/or SPDX expressions (as strings) in pyproject.license\. See PEP :pep:639 <639#deprecate-license-key-table-subkeys>. (#4840)
• Added simple validation for given glob patterns in license-files\: a warning will be generated if no file is matched. Invalid glob patterns can raise an exception.

v76.1.0

• In setuptools.msvc.EnvironmentInfo, now honor the correct paths when on an ARM host.
• Restored implicit distutils.ccompiler import for g-ir-scanner.
• Restore distutils.ccompiler.compiler_class
