Sourced from setuptools's changelog.

v58.4.0

Changes ^^^^^^^

• #2497: Officially deprecated PEP 440 non-compliant versions.

Documentation changes ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

• #2932: Removed the deprecated data_files option from the example in the declarative configuration docs -- by :user:abravalheri
• #2932: Change type of data_files option from dict to section in declarative configuration docs (to match previous example) -- by :user:abravalheri

v58.3.0

Changes ^^^^^^^

• #917: setup.py install and easy_install commands are now officially deprecated. Use other standards-based installers (like pip) and builders (like build). Workloads reliant on this behavior should pin to this major version of Setuptools.
• #1988: Deprecated the bdist_rpm command. Binary packages should be built as wheels instead. -- by :user:hugovk
• #2785: Replace configparser's readfp with read_file, deprecated since Python 3.2. -- by :user:hugovk
• #2823: Officially deprecated support for setup_requires. Users are encouraged instead to migrate to PEP 518 build-system.requires in pyproject.toml. Users reliant on setup_requires should consider pinning to this major version to avoid disruption.

Misc ^^^^

• #2762: Changed codecov.yml to configure the threshold to be lower -- by :user:tanvimoharir

v58.2.0

Changes ^^^^^^^

• #2757: Add windows arm64 launchers for scripts generated by easy_install.
• #2800: Added --owner and --group options to the sdist command, for specifying file ownership within the produced tarball (similarly to the corresponding distutils sdist options).

Documentation changes ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

• #2792: Document how the legacy and non-legacy versions are compared, and reference to the PEP 440 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/>_ scheme.
