***************
*** 64,135 ****
  Release 0.1.5 (6 April, 2000):
  -------------------------------
! * handle spaces in directory names under Windows
! * don't blow up with extravagant tracebacks for errors that
!   really aren't the Distutils' fault
  
  
  Release 0.1.4 (4 April, 2000):
  ------------------------------
! * backwards compatibility with Python 1.5.1
  
  
  Release 0.1.3 (30 January, 2000):
  ---------------------------------
! * "dist" command works on Windows now
! * better error handling in a few places
! * fixed some bugs in the MSVC++ interface class
! * "install_py" and "install_ext" commands now run their corresponding
!   build commands, in case they are invoked standalone by the user
! * added the "--help-commands" option to get a list of all commands
! * renamed the text files to README.txt, USAGE.txt, and CHANGES.txt
!   (for convenience to Windows users)
! * started adding code to allow building static C libraries and standalone
!   executables (not used yet)
  
  
  Release 0.1.2 (15 December, 1999)
  ---------------------------------
! * changes to command-line semantics:
!   - verbose mode is now the default
!   - added help options (and generation of help text), both globally and
!     for each command
!   - better usage message
! * anywhere that accepts/requires a list of strings now also accepts
!   a tuple of strings (but lists of tuples still have to be lists --
!   there are limits)
! * fixes to "build_py" command
!   - explicitly ensure that the setup script (sys.argv[0]) is never
!     included with the modules to be installed
!   - do *not* preserve file mode when copying .py files into the
!     build tree (was preserving 0444 permissions [read-only], which
!     caused subsequent installation of the same module distribution
!     to fail)
!   - several silly bugs that showed up when building simple,
!     non-packagized distributions
! * fixes to the "dist" command
!   - correct behaviour with filename pattern regexes
!   - don't blow up if MANIFEST missing, just warn and carry on
!   - blow away "distribution" tree after making archive file(s)
  
  
  Release 0.1.1 (23 October, 1999)
  --------------------------------
! * fixed 'mkpath()' function so it should work under DOS/Windows
! * changes to how we link C code:
!   - under Unix, object files precede -l options on link command line
!   - libraries now can have a directory component, which forces
!     the library to be searched for in only that directory
! * added --force and --quiet global options
! * made global options (--verbose, --dry-run, and now --force and
!   --quiet too) valid at each command as well as for the whole
!   distribution
! * 'dist' command now works on Unices other than Linux; generates
!   tar, tar.Z, tar.gz, and ZIP files.  Still Unix-dependent though.
  
  
  Release 0.1 (29 October, 1999)
  ------------------------------
! * initial public release
