+ importlib_metadata NEWS
+=========================
+
+v1.7.0
+======
+
+* ``PathNotFoundError`` now has a custom ``__str__``
+  mentioning "package metadata" being missing to help
+  guide users to the cause when the package is installed
+  but no metadata is present. Closes #124.
+
+v1.6.1
+======
+
+* Added ``Distribution._local()`` as a provisional
+  demonstration of how to load metadata for a local
+  package. Implicitly requires that
+  `pep517 <https://pypi.org/project/pep517>`_ is
+  installed. Ref #42.
+* Ensure inputs to FastPath are Unicode. Closes #121.
+* Tests now rely on ``importlib.resources.files`` (and
+  backport) instead of the older ``path`` function.
+* Support any iterable from ``find_distributions``.
+  Closes #122.
+
+v1.6.0
+======
+
+* Added ``module`` and ``attr`` attributes to ``EntryPoint``
+
+v1.5.2
+======
+
+* Fix redundant entries from ``FastPath.zip_children``.
+  Closes #117.
+
+v1.5.1
+======
+
+* Improve reliability and consistency of compatibility
+  imports for contextlib and pathlib when running tests.
+  Closes #116.
+
+v1.5.0
+======
+
+* Additional performance optimizations in FastPath now
+  saves an additional 20% on a typical call.
+* Correct for issue where PyOxidizer finder has no
+  ``__module__`` attribute. Closes #110.
+
+v1.4.0
+======
+
+* Through careful optimization, ``distribution()`` is
+  3-4x faster. Thanks to Antony Lee for the
+  contribution. Closes #95.
+
+* When searching through ``sys.path``, if any error
+  occurs attempting to list a path entry, that entry
+  is skipped, making the system much more lenient
+  to errors. Closes #94.
+
+v1.3.0
+======
+
+* Improve custom finders documentation. Closes #105.
+
+v1.2.0
+======
+
+* Once again, drop support for Python 3.4. Ref #104.
+
+v1.1.3
+======
+
+* Restored support for Python 3.4 due to improper version
+  compatibility declarations in the v1.1.0 and v1.1.1
+  releases. Closes #104.
+
+v1.1.2
+======
+
+* Repaired project metadata to correctly declare the
+  ``python_requires`` directive. Closes #103.
+
+v1.1.1
+======
+
+* Fixed ``repr(EntryPoint)`` on PyPy 3 also. Closes #102.
+
+v1.1.0
+======
+
+* Dropped support for Python 3.4.
+* EntryPoints are now pickleable. Closes #96.
+* Fixed ``repr(EntryPoint)`` on PyPy 2. Closes #97.
+
+v1.0.0
+======
+
+* Project adopts semver for versioning.
+
+* Removed compatibility shim introduced in 0.23.
+
+* For better compatibility with the stdlib implementation and to
+  avoid the same distributions being discovered by the stdlib and
+  backport implementations, the backport now disables the
+  stdlib DistributionFinder during initialization (import time).
+  Closes #91 and closes #100.
+
+0.23
+====
+* Added a compatibility shim to prevent failures on beta releases
+  of Python before the signature changed to accept the
+  "context" parameter on find_distributions. This workaround
+  will have a limited lifespan, not to extend beyond release of
+  Python 3.8 final.
+
+0.22
+====
+* Renamed ``package`` parameter to ``distribution_name``
+  as `recommended <https://bugs.python.org/issue34632#msg349423>`_
+  in the following functions: ``distribution``, ``metadata``,
+  ``version``, ``files``, and ``requires``. This
+  backward-incompatible change is expected to have little impact
+  as these functions are assumed to be primarily used with
+  positional parameters.
+
+0.21
+====
+* ``importlib.metadata`` now exposes the ``DistributionFinder``
+  metaclass and references it in the docs for extending the
+  search algorithm.
+* Add ``Distribution.at`` for constructing a Distribution object
+  from a known metadata directory on the file system. Closes #80.
+* Distribution finders now receive a context object that
+  supplies ``.path`` and ``.name`` properties. This change
+  introduces a fundamental backward incompatibility for
+  any projects implementing a ``find_distributions`` method
+  on a ``MetaPathFinder``. This new layer of abstraction
+  allows this context to be supplied directly or constructed
+  on demand and opens the opportunity for a
+  ``find_distributions`` method to solicit additional
+  context from the caller. Closes #85.
+
+0.20
+====
+* Clarify in the docs that calls to ``.files`` could return
+  ``None`` when the metadata is not present. Closes #69.
+* Return all requirements and not just the first for dist-info
+  packages. Closes #67.
+
+0.19
+====
+* Restrain over-eager egg metadata resolution.
+* Add support for entry points with colons in the name. Closes #75.
+
+0.18
+====
+* Parse entry points case sensitively.  Closes #68
+* Add a version constraint on the backport configparser package.  Closes #66
+
+0.17
+====
+* Fix a permission problem in the tests on Windows.
+
+0.16
+====
+* Don't crash if there exists an EGG-INFO directory on sys.path.
+
+0.15
+====
+* Fix documentation.
+
+0.14
+====
+* Removed ``local_distribution`` function from the API.
+  **This backward-incompatible change removes this
+  behavior summarily**. Projects should remove their
+  reliance on this behavior. A replacement behavior is
+  under review in the `pep517 project
+  <https://github.com/pypa/pep517>`_. Closes #42.
+
+0.13
+====
+* Update docstrings to match PEP 8. Closes #63.
+* Merged modules into one module. Closes #62.
+
+0.12
+====
+* Add support for eggs.  !65; Closes #19.
+
+0.11
+====
+* Support generic zip files (not just wheels).  Closes #59
+* Support zip files with multiple distributions in them.  Closes #60
+* Fully expose the public API in ``importlib_metadata.__all__``.
+
+0.10
+====
+* The ``Distribution`` ABC is now officially part of the public API.
+  Closes #37.
+* Fixed support for older single file egg-info formats.  Closes #43.
+* Fixed a testing bug when ``$CWD`` has spaces in the path.  Closes #50.
+* Add Python 3.8 to the ``tox`` testing matrix.
+
+0.9
+===
+* Fixed issue where entry points without an attribute would raise an
+  Exception.  Closes #40.
+* Removed unused ``name`` parameter from ``entry_points()``. Closes #44.
+* ``DistributionFinder`` classes must now be instantiated before
+  being placed on ``sys.meta_path``.
+
+0.8
+===
+* This library can now discover/enumerate all installed packages. **This
+  backward-incompatible change alters the protocol finders must
+  implement to support distribution package discovery.** Closes #24.
+* The signature of ``find_distributions()`` on custom installer finders
+  should now accept two parameters, ``name`` and ``path`` and
+  these parameters must supply defaults.
+* The ``entry_points()`` method no longer accepts a package name
+  but instead returns all entry points in a dictionary keyed by the
+  ``EntryPoint.group``. The ``resolve`` method has been removed. Instead,
+  call ``EntryPoint.load()``, which has the same semantics as
+  ``pkg_resources`` and ``entrypoints``.  **This is a backward incompatible
+  change.**
+* Metadata is now always returned as Unicode text regardless of
+  Python version. Closes #29.
+* This library can now discover metadata for a 'local' package (found
+  in the current-working directory). Closes #27.
+* Added ``files()`` function for resolving files from a distribution.
+* Added a new ``requires()`` function, which returns the requirements
+  for a package suitable for parsing by
+  ``packaging.requirements.Requirement``. Closes #18.
+* The top-level ``read_text()`` function has been removed.  Use
+  ``PackagePath.read_text()`` on instances returned by the ``files()``
+  function.  **This is a backward incompatible change.**
+* Release dates are now automatically injected into the changelog
+  based on SCM tags.
+
+0.7
+===
+* Fixed issue where packages with dashes in their names would
+  not be discovered. Closes #21.
+* Distribution lookup is now case-insensitive. Closes #20.
+* Wheel distributions can no longer be discovered by their module
+  name. Like Path distributions, they must be indicated by their
+  distribution package name.
+
+0.6
+===
+* Removed ``importlib_metadata.distribution`` function. Now
+  the public interface is primarily the utility functions exposed
+  in ``importlib_metadata.__all__``. Closes #14.
+* Added two new utility functions ``read_text`` and
+  ``metadata``.
+
+0.5
+===
+* Updated README and removed details about Distribution
+  class, now considered private. Closes #15.
+* Added test suite support for Python 3.4+.
+* Fixed SyntaxErrors on Python 3.4 and 3.5. !12
+* Fixed errors on Windows joining Path elements. !15
+
+0.4
+===
+* Housekeeping.
+
+0.3
+===
+* Added usage documentation.  Closes #8
+* Add support for getting metadata from wheels on ``sys.path``.  Closes #9
+
+0.2
+===
+* Added ``importlib_metadata.entry_points()``.  Closes #1
+* Added ``importlib_metadata.resolve()``.  Closes #12
+* Add support for Python 2.7.  Closes #4
+
+0.1
+===
+* Initial release.
