and is available from PyPI.  The latest bootstrap script is at:

And updated HTML documentation is available at:

    http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall (administrators/users)
    http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PkgResources (runtime reference)

There are way too many new features to list coherently, but some highlights 
include better support for non-root installs, RPM support, performance 
enhancements, a new "entry point" system for linking plugins to extensible 
apps and frameworks, a lot more documentation, and more than a few bug fixes.

Please send questions, comments, and bug reports to distutils-sig at python.org.
