Nothing has changed from the 0.7b4 pre-release. This is the version that will be uploaded to PyPI after we work out the technique to deploy to PyPI without interfering with the setuptools 0.6 releases. Nice. This is a significant event. Is there any Changes page to see what is so awesome in the release that took about more than 3 years to appear according to PyPI page (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools)?
