I've recently released version 0.2.9 of distlib on PyPI [1]. For newcomers,

distlib is a library of packaging functionality which is intended to be

usable as the basis for third-party packaging tools.

The main changes in this release are as follows:

* Updated default PyPI URL to https://pypi.org/pypi.

* Relaxed metadata format checks to ignore 'Provides'.

* Fixed #33, #34: simplified script template.

* Fixed #115: Relaxed check for '..' in wheel archive entries by not

  checking filename parts, only directory segments.

* Fixed #116: Corrected parsing of credentials from URLs.

* Fixed #122: Skipped entries in archive entries ending with '/' (directories)

  when verifying or installing.

* Commented out Disqus comment section in documentation.

A more detailed change log is available at [2].

Please try it out, and if you find any problems or have any suggestions for improvements,

please give some feedback using the issue tracker! [3]

Regards,
