[Distutils] Re: pip 18.0 has been released!

I noticed the version number jumped from 10.0.1 -> 18.0 Is there a reason for such? Change in version numbering policy which I missed reading? On Sun, Jul 22, 2018 at 4:07 AM, Paul Moore wrote:

On behalf of the PyPA, I am pleased to announce that pip 18.0 has just been released.

To install pip 18.0, you can run

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

or use get-pip as described in https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing. Note that if you are using a version of pip supplied by your distribution vendor, vendor-supplied upgrades will be available in due course (or you can use pip 18 in a virtual environment).

This is the first pip release since adopting 3 month release cadence and a Calendar based versioning scheme (also known as CalVer). In simpler words, there will be a new pip release every 3 months unless there are no changes since the previous release. More details such as release months can be found in pip's development documentation.

The highlights of this release are:

- Python 3.3 is no longer supported - if you need pip on Python 3.3, you should stay on pip 10, which is the last version to support Python 3.3. - Complete PEP 518 support - includes support for installation of build dependencies from source and Unicode support on Python 2 and Windows - New --prefer-binary flag, to prefer older wheels over newer sdists - Many bug fixes and minor improvements

Thanks to everyone who put so much effort into the new release. Many of the contributions came from community members, whether in the form of code, participation in design discussions and/or bug reports. The pip development team is extremely grateful to everyone in the community for their contributions.
