5989	flit_core-4.0.2 (Python module)	Bruce Dubbs	lfs-book	"New major version.

Version 4.0.2

- Fix invalid metadata files with Import-Name.

Version 4.0.1

- No changes, but a new tag to trigger an upload to PyPI now that 
  twine will accept it.

Version 4.0

- This version contains breaking changes, but most projects which are
  already using the [project] table for metadata shouldn’t be affected, 
  and can simply change the flit_core <4 constraint to <5.

- The [tool.flit.metadata] table is no longer used for project metadata. 
  Use the newer [project] table instead (or if that is not possible, 
  build with flit_core <4).

- flit build and flit publish no longer include files in the sdist based 
  on what is committed in git or Mercurial. These commands now build 
  packages more like Flit does when called as a backend by 
  e.g. python -m build. Specify sdist include & exclude patterns 
  instead (Flit can help to generate these), or pass the --use-vcs option 
  to get the old behaviour back.

- flit_core now requires Python 3.8 or above
    
- The --setup-py option to generate sdists containing a setup.py file 
  is no longer available.

- Making typing stubs packages with a -stubs suffix will now work.

- The default glob patterns for license files have been extended 
  to include NOTICE* and AUTHORS*.

- license-files glob patterns can contain spaces.

- Fix a bug where license files could be found twice on Windows.

- The new Import-Name and Import-Namespace metadata fields 
  (metadata 2.5) are now supported. In most cases no new input is 
  required, as Flit will create this metadata automatically.

- Fix creating RECORD files when file names include commas.

- The --use-vcs option now correctly recognises git from inside 
  a git worktree folder.

- On Python 3.12 and above, flit build now uses the ‘data’ filter 
  when extracting the just-created sdist prior to building a wheel. 
  This restricts some special features of tar files, but sdists are 
  unlikely to use these features, and they would probably break 
  in other scenarios if you did.

- The vendorised readme_renderer package was updated to version 44.0.
