+# Release Notes
+
+## 2.80.0
+
+This release adds the `pex3 scie create` tool for creating scies from existing PEX files. This
+works for PEXes created by Pex 2.1.25 (released on January 21st, 2021) and newer.
+
+* Add a `pex3 scie create` command. (#3070)
+
+## 2.79.0
+
+This release adds the `CPython[free-threaded]` alias for `CPython+t` and the `CPython[gil]` alias
+for `CPython-t` when writing interpreter constraints.
+
+* Add `CPython[{free-threaded,gil}]` aliases for `CPython{+,-}t`. (#3068)
+
+## 2.78.0
+
+This release adds support for the `CPython+t` implementation name in interpreter constraints to
+allow constraining selected interpreters to CPython interpreters built with free-threading support.
+The existing `CPython` implementation selects from either classic GIL enabled `CPython` interpreters
+or CPython free-threaded interpreters as was the case previously. The `CPython-t` implementation
+name can be used to require classic GIL-only CPython interpreters.
+-
+* Support `CPython+t` in ICs to select free-threaded CPython. (#3067)
+
+## 2.77.3
+
+This release updates vendored Pip's vendored certifi's cacert.pem to that from certifi 2026.1.4.
+
+* Update vendored Pip's CA cert bundle. (#3065)
+
+## 2.77.2
+
+This release fixes venv creation from PEXes to avoid declaring false collisions in `__init__.py`
+files when the venv uses Python 3.9 or greater.
+
+* Compare ASTs of colliding venv `__init__.py`. (#3063)
+
+## 2.77.1
+
+This release fixes a very old bug where the Pex PEX (or any other PEX created with
+`--no-strip-pex-env`) would, in fact, strip `PEX_PYTHON` and `PEX_PYTHON_PATH`.
+
+* Fix `PEX_PYTHON{,_PATH}` stripping on Pex re-exec. (#3062)
+
+## 2.77.0
+
+This release has no fixes or new features per-se, but just changes the set of distributions that
+Pex releases to PyPI. Previously Pex released an sdist and a universal (`py2.py3-none-any`) `.whl`.
+Pex now releases two wheels in addition to the sdist. The `py3.py312-none-any.whl` targets
+Python>=3.12 and has un-needed vendored libraries elided making it bith a smaller `.whl` and less
+prone to false-positive security scan issues since unused vendored code is now omitted. The other
+wheel carries the same contents as prior and supports creating PEXes for Python 2.7 and
+Python>=3.5,<3.12.
+
+* Split Pex `.whl` into two `.whl`s. (#3057)
+
+## 2.76.1
+
+This release fixes bootstrapping of Pips specified via `--pip-version` to respect Pex Pip
+configuration options (like custom indexes) under Python 3.12 and newer.
+
+* Fix Pip bootstrap to respect Pip config for Python >= 3.12. (#3054)
+
+## 2.76.0
+
+This release adds support for `--no-scie-pex-entrypoint-env-passthrough` to trigger direct execution
+of `--venv` PEX scie script entrypoints. This performance optimization mirrors the existing default
+`--no-scie-busybox-pex-entrypoint-env-passthrough` for busybox scies, but must be selected by 
+passing `--no-scie-pex-entrypoint-env-passthrough` explicitly. In addition, the `VIRTUAL_ENV` env
+var is now guaranteed to be set for all `--venv` PEX scies.
+
+* Add scie support for direct exec of venv scripts. (#3053)
+
+## 2.75.2
+
+This release updates vendored Pip's vendored certifi's cacert.pem to that from certifi 2025.11.12.
+
+* Update vendored Pip's CA cert bundle. (#3052)
+
+## 2.75.1
+
+This release fixes Pex handling of wheels with bad RECORDs that record files that do not exist in
+the `.whl` file.
+
+* Warn when non-existent files in RECORD, but proceed. (#3051)
+
+## 2.75.0
+
+This release adds supoort for `--scie-load-dotenv` to enable `.env` file loading in PEX scies.
+
+* Support scie-jump `.env` loading with `--scie-load-dotenv`. (#3046)
+
+## 2.74.3
+
+This release fixes a bug gracefully handling a request for `--validate-entry-point` when no
+`--entry-point` was given.
+
+* Error for missing entry point under `--validate-entry-point`. (#3048)
+
+## 2.74.2
+
+This release fixes building PEXes from direct URL requirements. Previously, the direct URL
+requirement would be recorded incorrectly in PEX-INFO metadata leading to a failure to boot.
+
+* Fix `str(req)` of direct URLs with known versions. (#3043)
+
+## 2.74.1
+
+This release upgrades the floor of `science` to 0.17.1 and `scie-jump` to 1.9.2 to fix a regression
+in the breadth of Linux platforms `--scie {eager,lazy}` PEX scies were compatible with.
+
+* Upgrade science to 0.17.1 & scie-jump to 1.9.2. (#3038)
+
+## 2.74.0
+
+This release adds support for setting custom PEX-INFO `build_properties` metadata via
+`--build-property`, `--build-properties` and `--record-git-state`.
+
+* Support custom PEX-INFO `build_properties`. (#3036)
+
+## 2.73.1
+
+This release fixes `--lock` and `--pylock` subsetting of direct reference and VCS requirements.
+Previously, just the project name was matched when subsetting but now the normalized URL is matched.
+The previous behavior could lead to subsets succeeding that should have otherwise failed. The new
+behavior can lead to a subset failing when URLs differ, but both URLs point to the same content.
+Although this too is a bug, it should be a much narrower use case in the wild; so this should be an
+improvement.
+
+* Fix URL requirement `--lock` & `--pylock` subsetting. (#3034)
+
+## 2.73.0
+
+This release upgrades the floor of `science` to 0.17.0 and `scie-jump` to 1.9.1 to pick up support
+for producing PEX scies for Linux aarch64 & x86_64 that link against glibc. Previously the embedded
+interpreter would link against glibc but the `scie-jump` at the PEX scie tip was a musl libc static
+binary and this could cause problems in those areas where glibc and musl diverge.
+
+* Upgrade science to 0.17.0 & scie-jump to 1.9.1. (#3033)
+
+## 2.72.2
+
+This release fixes a regression introduced in the Pex 2.60.0 release when installing wheels with
+`*.data/` entries whose top-level name matches a top-level package in the wheel. This regression
+only affected default `--venv` mode PEXes which populate site-packages using symlinks.
+
+* Fix `--venv` (using symlinks) for some wheels. (#3031)
+
+## 2.72.1
+
+This release fixes Pex lock resolves (`--lock` and `--pylock`) to allow exceptions for `--no-wheel`
+and `--no-build` as a follow-on to the 2.71.1 release fix that enabled the same for Pip resolves.
+
+* Allow exceptions for `--no-{wheel,build}` with locks. (#3028)
+
+## 2.72.0
+
+This release adds support for building foreign platform musl Linux PEX scies and dogfoods this to
+add musl Linux aarch64 & x86_64 Pex PEX scies to the Pex release.
+
+* Support targeting foreign platform musl scies. (#3025)
+
+## 2.71.1
+
+This release fixes Pex to allow blanket disallowing builds but making targeted exceptions and
+vice-versa. The underlying Pip machinery has always supported this, but Pex just got in the way for
+no reason.
+
+* Allow exceptions for `--no-wheel` & `--no-build`. (#3023)
+
+## 2.71.0
+
+This release upgrades the floor of `science` to 0.16.0 to pick up support for generating PEX scies
+for musl Linux aarch64.
+
+* Upgrade `science` to 0.16.0. (#3020)
+
+## 2.70.0
+
+This release adds a feature for Pex developers. If you want to experiment with a new version of Pip
+you can now specify `_PEX_PIP_VERSION=adhoc _PEX_PIP_ADHOC_REQUIREMENT=...`. N.B.: This feature is
+for Pex development only.
+
+* Support adhoc Pip versions in development. (#3011)
+
+## 2.69.2
+
+This release fixes handling of scoped repos. Previously, validation against duplicate scopes was too
+aggressive and disallowed multiple un-named indexes and find-links repositories.
+
+* Allow multiple un-named indexes and find-links repos. (#3009)
+
+## 2.69.1
+
+This release fixes `--venv-repository` handling of top-level requirements that specify pre-releases.
+Such resolves now imply `--pre`.
+
+* Root reqs that specify prereleases imply `--pre`. (#3004)
+
+## 2.69.0
+
+This release adds a `pexec` console script as an alias for `pex3 run`.
+
+* Add `pexec` script as a `pex3 run` alias. (#3001)
+
+## 2.68.3
+
+This release fixes Pex to handle installing a wider variety of whls violating various PyPA specs.
+
+* Handle two cases of bad whl metadata. (#2999)
+
+## 2.68.2
+
+This release bumps the floor of `science` to 0.15.1 to ensure least surprise with no bad
+`--scie-hash-alg` choices presented by the underlying science tool used to build Pex `--scie`s.
+
+* Upgrade `science` to 0.15.1. (#2995)
+
+## 2.68.1
+
+This release fixes a regression extracting sdists on some Pythons older than 3.12.
+
+* Fix sdist tar extraction filtering for old Pythons. (#2992)
+
+## 2.68.0
+
+This release adds support for `--project` pointing to local project sdist or wheel paths in addition
+to the already supported local project directory path. The wheel case can be particularly useful
+when building a project wheel out of band is very much faster than letting Pex obtain the project
+metadata via a PEP-517 `prepare_metadata_for_build_wheel` call or via a wheel build via Pip, which
+is what Pex falls back to.
+
+* Support `--project` pointing at sdists and whls. (#2989)
+
+## 2.67.3
+
+This release brings Pex into compliance with sdist archive features as specified in
+https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/source-distribution-format/#source-distribution-archive-features.
+
+* Implement tar extraction data filtering. (#2987)
+
+## 2.67.2
+
+This release fixes a bug resolving editable projects from `--venv-repository`s.
+
+* Fix resolve of editables from `--venv-repository`s. (#2984)
+
+## 2.67.1
+
+This release fixes a bug subsetting `--venv-repository` resolves when top-level requirements
+had version specifiers; e.g.: `thing>2`.
+
+* Fix `--venv-repository` subsetting. (#2981)
+
+## 2.67.0
+
+This release adds support for specifying multiple `--venv-repository`s when building a PEX. This
+allows creating multi-platform PEXes from multiple venvs that all satisfy a resolve, but for
+different interpreters.
+
+* Multi-platform PEXes via multiple `--venv-repository`s. (#2977)
+
+## 2.66.1
+
+This release improves upon the local project directory hashing fix in [2.61.1](#2611) by
+avoiding the hashing altogether unless creating a lock, where the resulting fingerprint is
+needed.
+
+* Avoid fingerprinting local projects. (#2975)
+
+## 2.66.0
+
+This release adds support for `--pip-version 25.3`.
+
+* Add support for `--pip-version 25.3`. (#2968)
+
+## 2.65.0
+
+This release adds support for PEX scies using CPython free-threaded builds. Most such scies should
+be able to auto-detect when a free-threaded CPython is needed, but new `--scie-pbs-free-threaded`
+and `--scie-pbs-debug` options have been added to explicitly request the desired PBS CPython build
+as well.
+
+* Support free-threaded PEX scies. (#2967)
+
+## 2.64.1
+
+This release is a follow-up to 2.64.0 to fix a regression in locks for credentialed VCS
+requirements.
+
+* Fix redaction of VCS URL credentials in locks. (#2964)
+
+## 2.64.0
+
+This release adds support for `--avoid-downloads` / `--no-avoid-downloads` to `pex3 lock create`. By
+default, when available, Pex now locks in `--avoid-downloads` mode using
+`pip install --dry-run --ignore-installed --report` to power lock generation instead of
+`pip download`. This saves time generating the lock at the expense of having to spend time
+downloading distributions later when using the lock to create a PEX or venv. This new lock mode
+produces byte-wise identical locks and is available for all Pip versions Pex supports save for
+vendored Pip (`--pip-version {vendored,20.3.4-patched}`).
+
+* Use Pip `--report` to avoid `pex3 lock create` downloads. (#2962)
+
+## 2.63.0
+
+This release adds population of a `pex` script to venvs created with `pex3 venv create`. This allows
+for executing Python in the activated venv via `/path/to/venv/pex ...` instead of 
+`source /path/to/venv/bin/activate && python ...`.
+
+* Include `pex` script in `pex3 venv create`. (#2960)
+
+## 2.62.1
+
+This release improves performance when creating venvs by eliminating an un-necessary re-hash of
+wheel files already installed in the Pex cache.
+
+* Avoid re-hashing wheels when re-installing. (#2958)
+
+## 2.62.0
+
+This release brings full support for universal lock splitting. You can now declare conflicting
+top-level requirements for different (marker) environments and these will be isolated in separate
+lock resolves in the same universal lock file. These split resolves are performed in parallel and
+the appropriate split lock is later selected automatically when building a PEX or a venv from the
+lock.
+
+As part of this work, locks also filter wheels more faithfully. If you supply interpreter
+constraints that constrain to CPython, the resulting lock will now only contain `cp`
+platform-specific wheels (and, for example, not PyPy wheels).
+
+* Complete support for universal lock splitting. (#2940)
+
+## 2.61.1
+
+This release fixes a long-standing bug hashing local project directories when building PEXes. Pex
+now hashes the content of an exploded sdist for the local project just like it does when hashing
+local projects for a lock.
+
+* Fix local project directory hashing. (#2954)
+
+## 2.61.0
+
+This release adds support for the Python 3.15 series early. Pex runs on 3.15.0a1, can produce scies
+for 3.15.0a1, etc.
+
+* Officially begin supporting Python 3.15. (#2952)
+
+## 2.60.2
+
+This release fixes a regression in the Pex 2.60.0 release when installing wheels with
+`*.data/{purelib,platlib}` entries.
+
+* Fix handling of whl `*.data/` dirs. (#2946)
+
+## 2.60.1
+
+This release fixes a backwards compatiility break in 2.60.0 where modern `pex-tools` would fail to
+work on PEXes built with Pex prior to 2.60.
+
+* Fix installed wheel re-installation for old PEXes. (#2943)
+
+## 2.60.0
+
+This release adds support for `--no-pre-install-wheels` to both the `--pex-repository` and
+`--venv-repository` resolvers, meaning all forms of Pex resolution (including Pip, `--lock`,
+`--pylock` and `--pre-resolved-dists`) now support this option.
+
+In addition, adding this support improved the fidelity of `pex-tools repository extract` such that
+extracted wheels are bytewise identical to the original wheel the PEX was built with. This fidelity
+also extends to wheels extracted from `--pex-repository` PEXes and wheels extracted from venvs
+created from PEXes.
+
+* Implement `.whl` packing from chroots and venvs. (#2925)
+
+## 2.59.5
+
+This release optimizes `--venv-repository` installed wheel caching to only store one copy per
+unique wheel even when that wheel is resolved from multiple `--venv-repository`s.
+
+This release also updates vendored Pip's vendored certifi's cacert.pem to that from certifi
+2025.10.5.
+
+* Do not hash installed scripts from `--venv-repository`. (#2935)
+* Update vendored Pip's CA cert bundle. (#2934)
+
+## 2.59.4
+
+This release fixes a bug in `--venv-repository` resolution that would lead to resolution failure
+when the same wheel (that has console script entry points) is installed in multiple venvs and those
+venvs are used as `--venv-repository` resolve sources.
+
+* Fix `--venv-repository` wheel cache copy-pasta bug. (#2932)
+
+## 2.59.3
+
+This release fixes `--venv-repository` to work with venvs that have installed wheels with
+non-conformant `WHEEL` metadata. Notably, from wheels built with maturin that have a compressed tag
+set; e.g.: `hf-xet-1.1.10-cp37-abi3-manylinux2014_x86_64.manylinux_2_17_x86_64.whl`.
+
+* Stabilize non-conformant WHEEL Tag metadata. (#2927)
+
+## 2.59.2
+
+This release fixes two bugs handling split universal resolves. Previously, when a universal resolve
+was split by markers other than `python_version` and `python_full_version` and no interpreter
+constraints were specified, locking would fail. Additionally, when a split lock had differing
+transitive dependencies in splits, lock sub-setting would fail. Both issues are now corrected.
+
+* Fix split universal lock corner cases. (#2922)
+
+## 2.59.1
+
+This release fixes a regression in VCS URL handling introduced by Pex 2.38.0 when VCS URLs included
+user info in the authority.
+
+* Fix `pex3 lock create/export` for VCS URLs with userinfo (#2918)
+
+## 2.59.0
+
+This release adds support for a `--venv-repository` resolution source. This allows creating a PEX
+from a pre-existing venv. By default, all installed venv distributions are included in the PEX, but
+by specifying requirements, the venv can be subset. The `--venv-repository` source is also supported
+by `pex3 venv create` allowing subsetting an existing venv directly into a new venv as well.
+
+* Add support for `--venv-repository` resolver. (#2916)
+
+## 2.58.1
+
+This release fixes a bug building source distributions from locks of local project directories when
+the local project uses the `uv_build` backend.
+
+* Fix sdist build of local projects using `uv_build`. (#2914)
+
+## 2.58.0
+
+This release adds `--derive-sources-from-requirements-files` to allow for scoping requirement
+sources via the structure of requirements files. If any requirements files are specified that 
+contain `-f` / `--find-links`, `-i` / `--index-url`, or `--extra-index-url` options,
+`--derive-sources-from-requirements-files` will automatically map these repos as the `--source` for
+the requirements (if any) declared in the same requirements file.
+
+* Introduce `--derive-sources-from-requirements-files`. (#2909)
+
+## 2.57.0
+
+This release adds support for project name regexes to `--source` scopes for repos. For example, the
+PyTorch example given in the 2.56.0 release notes can now be shortened to:
+```console
+pex3 lock create \
+    --style universal \
+    --target-system linux \
+    --target-system mac \
+    --elide-unused-requires-dist \
+    --interpreter-constraint "CPython==3.13.*" \
+    --index pytorch=https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu129 \
+    --source "pytorch=^torch(vision)?$; sys_platform != 'darwin'" \
+    --source "pytorch=^nvidia-.*; sys_platform != 'darwin'" \
+    --indent 2 \
+    -o lock.json \
+    torch \
+    torchvision
+```
+
+* Support regexes for `--source` project matching. (#2906)
+
+## 2.56.0
+
+This release adds support for scoping `--index` and `--find-links` repos to only be used to resolve
+certain projects, environments or a combination of the two. For example, to use the piwheels index
+but restrict its use to resolves targeting armv7l machines, you can now say:
+`--index piwheels=https://www.piwheels.org/simple --source piwheels=platform_machine == 'armv7l'`.
+See the `--help` output for `--index` and `--find-links` for more syntax details.
+
+Additionally, `--style universal` locks have been made aware of top-level inputs that can split the
+lock resolve and such resolves are pre-split and performed in parallel to allow locking for multiple
+non-overlapping universes at once. Splits can be caused by some scoped repos setups as well locks
+with multiple differing top-level requirements for the same project. For example, the following will
+create a universal lock with two locked resolves, one locking cowsay 5.0 for Python 2 and one
+locking cowsay 6.0 for Python 3:
+```console
+pex3 lock create \
+  --style universal \
+  --indent 2 \
+  -o lock.json
+  "cowsay<6; python_version < '3'" \
+  "cowsay==6; python_version >= '3'"
+```
+
+An important use case for this new set of features is creating a universal lock for PyTorch for
+CUDA enabled Linux and Mac by adding the appropriate pytorch index appropriately scoped.
+For example, this lock will contain two locked resolves, one for Mac sourced purely from PyPI and
+one for CUDA 12.9 enabled Linux partially sourced from the PyTorch index for CUDA 12.9:
+```console
+pex3 lock create \
+    --style universal \
+    --target-system linux \
+    --target-system mac \
+    --elide-unused-requires-dist \
+    --interpreter-constraint "CPython==3.13.*" \
+    --index pytorch=https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu129 \
+    --source "pytorch=torch; sys_platform != 'darwin'" \
+    --source "pytorch=torchvision; sys_platform != 'darwin'" \
+    --source "pytorch=nvidia-cublas-cu12; sys_platform != 'darwin'" \
+    --source "pytorch=nvidia-cuda-cupti-cu12; sys_platform != 'darwin'" \
+    --source "pytorch=nvidia-cuda-nvrtc-cu12; sys_platform != 'darwin'" \
+    --source "pytorch=nvidia-cuda-runtime-cu12; sys_platform != 'darwin'" \
+    --source "pytorch=nvidia-cudnn-cu11; sys_platform != 'darwin'" \
+    --source "pytorch=nvidia-cudnn-cu12; sys_platform != 'darwin'" \
+    --source "pytorch=nvidia-cufft-cu12; sys_platform != 'darwin'" \
+    --source "pytorch=nvidia-cufile-cu12; sys_platform != 'darwin'" \
+    --source "pytorch=nvidia-curand-cu12; sys_platform != 'darwin'" \
+    --source "pytorch=nvidia-cusolver-cu12; sys_platform != 'darwin'" \
+    --source "pytorch=nvidia-cusparse-cu12; sys_platform != 'darwin'" \
+    --source "pytorch=nvidia-cusparselt-cu12; sys_platform != 'darwin'" \
+    --source "pytorch=nvidia-nccl-cu12; sys_platform != 'darwin'" \
+    --source "pytorch=nvidia-nvjitlink-cu12; sys_platform != 'darwin'" \
+    --source "pytorch=nvidia-nvtx-cu12; sys_platform != 'darwin'" \
+    --indent 2 \
+    -o lock.json \
+    torch \
+    torchvision
+```
+
+* Support scopes for `--index` and `--find-links`. (#2903)
+
+## 2.55.2
+
+This release improves Pex `--pylock` handling interoperability by accepting the minimum possible
+dependency information likely to be provided; namely, the dependency `name`.
+
+* More robust `pylock.toml` dependency handling. (#2901)
+
+## 2.55.1
+
+This release fixes a bug present since the inception of `pex3 lock create --style universal`
+support. Previously, if the universal lock was created with `--interpreter-constraint`s, the
+Python implementation information was discarded; so, for example, even with
+`--interpreter-constraint CPython==3.13.*`, the lock resolve would consider PyPy in-play.
+
+* Respect `--interpreter-constraint` impl in locks. (#2898)
+
+## 2.55.0
+
+This release adds support for `--override <project name>=<requirement>` wherever
+`--override <requirement>` is currently accepted. This can be useful when you need to supply a
+patch to an existing published project and would prefer to depend on wheels you pre-build instead
+of using a VCS source dependency `--override`, which can be slow to build.
+
+* Support dependency replacement with `--override`. (#2894)
+
+## 2.54.2
+
+This release fixes `pex3 lock create` when multiple `--index` are configured and they provide the
+same wheel file name, but with different contents. This is a reality in the PyTorch ecosystem, for
+example, prior to any fixes the [WheelNext][WheelNext] project may bring.
+
+* Fix `pex3 lock create` for dup wheels with different hashes. (#2890)
+
+[WheelNext]: https://wheelnext.dev/
+
+## 2.54.1
+
+This release fixes `--pylock` handling to tolerate locked packages with no artifacts and just warn
+(if PEX warnings are enabled) that the package is being skipped for lack of artifacts.
+
+* Handle `pylock.toml` packages with no artifacts. (#2888)
+
+## 2.54.0
+
+This release adds a Pex PEX scie for riscv64.
+
+* Add a Pex PEX scie for riscv64. (#2883)
+
+## 2.53.0
+
+This release adds support to `pex3 run` for `--with-requirements` to complement `--with` for
+specifying additional run requirements via a requirements file. In addition, `--constraints`
+can now be specified to constrain versions with a constraints file.
+
+* Support `-r` & `--constraints` in `pex3 run`. (#2879)
+
+## 2.52.1
+
+This release fixes some cases of creating PEXes from a `--pylock` when no requirements are
+specified.
+
+* Fix `--pylock` with no reqs roots calculation. (#2878)
+
+## 2.52.0
+
+This release adds `pex3 run --locked {auto,require}` support for both local and remote scripts. In
+either case a sibling `pylock.<script name>.toml` and then a sibling `pylock.toml` are searched for
+and, if found, are subsetted with PEP-723 script requirements or explicit `--with` or `--from`
+requirements if present.
+
+* Support sibling script locks in `pex3 run`. (#2870)
+
+## 2.51.1
+
+This release fixes a bug in Pex's HTTP server used for serving `pex --docs` and `pex3 docs` when
+running on Python 2.7.
+
+Also, `pylock.toml` subsets are now fixed to fully honor subset requirement specifiers and markers.
+
+* Fix HTTP Server for Python 2.7. (#2871)
+* Fix pylock.toml subsetting. (#2872)
+
+## 2.51.0
+
+This release augments `pex3 run` with the ability to run both local and remote scripts as well as
+augmenting the run environment with additional requirements specified via `--with`.
+
+* Support running both local & remote scripts. (#2861)
+
+## 2.50.4
+
+This release fixes a bug introduced by #2828 that would assign PEX scies a `SCIE_BASE` of the
+current user's `PEX_ROOT` at PEX scie build time. PEX scies now only get a custom `SCIE_BASE`
+when `--scie-base` or `--runtime-pex-root` are specified when building the PEX scie.
+
+* Fix PEX scie `--runtime-pex-root` handling. (#2866)
+
+## 2.50.3
+
+This release fixes handling of cycles both when exporting Pex lock files to PEP-751 `pylock.toml`
+format as well as when creating PEXes from `--pylock` locks with cycles. This should complete the
+cycle-handling fix work started in #2835 by @pimdh.
+
+* Fix `pylock.toml` cycle handling. (#2863)
+
+## 2.50.2
+
+This release fixes creating `--scie {eager,lazy}` PEX scies when no specific `--scie-pbs-release` is
+specified by upgrading to `science` 0.12.9.
+
+Pex's vendored Pip's vendored certifi's cacert.pem is also updated to that from certifi 2025.8.3
+(Good luck parsing that!).
+
+* Update vendored Pip's CA cert bundle. (#2857)
+* Fix CPython scies with no `--scie-pbs-release`. (#2859)
+
+## 2.50.1
+
+This release fixes `pex3 run` handling of local project directory requirements. For example, you
+can now `pex3 run . -V` in the Pex project directory successfully.
+
+* Fix `pex3 run` for local projects. (#2854)
+
+## 2.50.0
+
+This release introduces the `pex.build_backend.wrap` build backend useable for embedding console
+script locks in your project distributions for use by tools like `pex3 run` (see: #2841). Pex
+dogfoods this backend to embed its own console script lock for its extras.
+
+* Introduce `pex.build_backend.wrap` build backend. (#2850)
+
+## 2.49.0
+
+This release adds support for `--pip-version 25.2`
+
+* Add support for `--pip-version 25.2`. (#2849)
+
+## 2.48.2
+
+This release brings a fix for Pex entry-point parsing. Previously, entry-points specifying an extra
+like `blackd = blackd:patched_main [d]` would be parsed as having the extra as part of the module or
+object reference leading to errors when executing the entry point.
+
+* Fix Pex entry-point parsing. (#2846)
+
+## 2.48.1
+
+This release fixes the failure mode of `pex3 run --locked require`. Previously, subsequent runs
+with `--locked auto` would not fall back to using no lock, but instead error with a malformed venv
+from the failed run prior.
+
+* Fix `pex3 run --locked require` failure mode. (#2843)
+
+## 2.48.0
+
+This release adds support for `pex3 run` akin to `pipx run` and `uvx`. By default,
+`pex3 run <tool>` will look for an embedded [PEP-751 `pylock.toml`][PEP-751] in the wheel or sdist
+`<tool>` is resolved from and, if found, use that lock to create the tool venv from. More
+information is available in the `pex3 run --help` output for the `--locked` option. See the thread
+here for the embedded lock idea and ongoing discussion:
+https://discuss.python.org/t/pre-pep-add-ability-to-install-a-package-with-reproducible-dependencies
+
+* Add `pex3 run`. (#2841)
+
+## 2.47.0
+
+Support for Python PI. Pex started testing against Python 3.14 on October 26th, 2024 and now
+officially advertises support with the 3.14.0rc1 release candidate just published.
+
+* Support Python PI. (#2838)
+
+## 2.46.3
+
+This release brings a fix from @pimdh for `--pylock` handling that allows Pex to work with
+`pylock.toml` locks containing dependency cycles.
+
+* Handle cyclic dependencies in pylock.toml (#2835)
+
+## 2.46.2
+
+This release updates vendored Pip's vendored certifi's cacert.pem to that from certifi 2025.7.14 and
+fixes the default scie base when `--runtime-pex-root` is used to be a `pex3 cache` managed
+directory.
+
+* Update vendored Pip's CA cert bundle. (#2831)
+* Re-organize default `--runtime-pex-root` scie base. (#2830)
+
+## 2.46.1
+
+This release follows up on 2.45.3 to ensure `--venv` PEXes also participate in temporary `PEX_ROOT`
+cleanup. Previously these leaked the temporary `PEX_ROOT`.
+
+* Fix `--venv` PEXes to clean fallback `PEX_ROOT`. (#2826)
+
+## 2.46.0
+
+This release adds support for setting a custom `--scie-base` when building PEX scies. The default
+scie base is the same as used by the scie-jump natively; e.g. `~/.cache/nce` on Linux. When
+specifying a custom `--runtime-pex-root`, the scie base now will live under it in the `scie-base`
+directory. To specify a custom scie base, `--scie-base` can be used, and it will trump all these
+defaults.
+
+* Add `--scie-base` to control the PEX scie cache dir. (#2828)
+
+## 2.45.3
+
+This release fixes a bug introduced in 2.45.2 by #2820 that would cause a temporary `PEX_ROOT` (
+these are created when the default `PEX_ROOT` directory is not writeable) to be cleaned up too
+early, leading to PEX boot failures.
+
+* Do not clean fallback `PEX_ROOT` prematurely. (#2823)
+
+## 2.45.2
+
+This release fixes a long-standing temporary directory resource leak when running PEXes built with
+`--no-pre-install-wheels`.
+
+* Fix temp dir leak on boot of `--no-pre-install-wheels` PEX. (#2820)
+
+## 2.45.1
+
+This release updates vendored Pip's vendored certifi's cacert.pem to that from certifi 2025.7.9.
+
+* Update vendored Pip's CA cert bundle. (#2816)
+
+## 2.45.0
+
+This release adds support for `--scie-assets-base-url` if you've used `science download ...` to set
+up a local repository for `ptex`, `scie-jump` and science interpreter providers.
+
+This release also fixes PEX scie creation to use either of `--proxy` or `--cert` if set when
+building scies. Previously, these options were only honored when downloading the `science` binary
+itself but not when running it subsequently to build scies.
+
+Finally, PEX scies built on Windows for Linux or Mac now should work more often. That said, Windows
+is still not officially supported!
+
+* Add `--scie-assets-base-url` & honor `--{proxy,cert}`. (#2811)
+
+## 2.44.0
+
+This release expands PEX scie support on Windows to more cases by changing how the `PEX_ROOT` is
+handled for PEX scies on all operating systems. Previously, the `PEX_ROOT` was constrained to be
+in a special location inside the scie `nce` cache direcgtory structure. Now PEX scies install their
+PEXes inside the normal system `PEX_ROOT` like other PEXes do. This leads to shorted PEX cache paths
+that work on more Windows systems in particular.
+
+All that said, Windows is still not officially supported!
+
+* Let PEX scies install PEXes in the `PEX_ROOT`. (#2807)
+
+## 2.43.1
+
+This release fixes PEP-723 script metadata parsing handling of the file encoding of the script.
+
+* Fix PEP-723 script parsing file encoding handling. (#2806)
+
+## 2.43.0
+
+This release adds support for `pex3 wheel [--lock|--pylock] [requirements args] ...`. This
+allows resolving and building wheels that satisfy a resolve directly or through a lock. Foreign
+targets via `--platform` and `--complete-platform` are supported as well as sub-setting when a lock
+is used. This compliments `pex3 download` introduced in Pex 2.41.0.
+
+* Add pex3 wheel for resolving & building wheels. (#2803)
+
+## 2.42.2
+
+This release is a follow-up to 2.42.1 that again attempts a fix for missing `License-Expression`
+METADATA in Pex distributions.
+
+* Really fix `License-Expression` METADATA field. (#2800)
+
+## 2.42.1
+
+This release just fixes missing `License-Expression` METADATA in Pex distributions.
+
+* Fix missing `License-Expression` METADATA field. (#2798)
+
+## 2.42.0
+
+This release expands `--platform` support to Windows. Windows is still not officially
+supported though!
+
+* Add `--platform` support for Windows. (#2794)
+
+## 2.41.1
+
+This release fixes `pex3 download` to require a `-d` / `--dest-dir` be set.
+
+* Require `--dest-dir` is set for `pex3 download`. (#2793)
+
+## 2.41.0
+
+This release adds support for `pex3 download [--lock|--pylock] [requirements args] ...`. This
+allows downloading distributions that satisfy a resolve directly or through a lock. Foreign targets
+via `--platform` and `--complete-platform` are supported as well as sub-setting when a lock is
+used.
+
+* Add `pex3 download`. (#2791)
+
+## 2.40.3
+
+This release updates vendored Pip's vendored certifi's cacert.pem to that from certifi 2025.6.15.
+
+* Update vendored Pip's CA cert bundle. (#2787)
+
+## 2.40.2
+
+This relase fixes Pex to work in more scenarios on Windows. Windows is still not officially
+supported though!
+
+* Fix some Windows cross-drive issues. (#2781)
+
+## 2.40.1
+
+This release fixes `pex --pylock` for locked sdist and wheel artifacts whose locked URL path
+basename does not match the optional sdist or wheel `name` field when present. Notably, this fixes
+interop with `uv` which appears to use the `name` field to store the normalized name of the wheel
+when the wheel name is not normalized already in the index URL basename.
+
+* Fix `--pylock` handling of sdist and wheel `name`. (#2775)
+
+## 2.40.0
+
+This release fills out `--pylock` support with `--pylock-extra` and `--pylock-group` to have Pex
+resolve extras and dependency groups defined for a PEP-751 lock. This support only works when Pex
+is run under Python 3.8 or newer.
+
+* Support PEP-751 extras and dependency groups. (#2770)
+
+## 2.39.0
+
+This release adds support for `pex --pylock` and `pex3 venv create --pylock` for building PEXes and
+venvs from [pylock.toml][PEP-751] locks. In both cases PEX supports subsetting the lock if it
+provides `dependencies` metadata for its locked packages, but this metadata is optional in the spec;
+so your mileage may vary. If the metadata is not available and was required, Pex will let you know
+with an appropriate error post-resolve and pre-building the final PEX or venv.
+
+* Add support for `pex --pylock`. (#2766)
+
+## 2.38.1
+
+This release fixes a long-standing bug parsing requirements files that included other requirements
+files.
+
+* Fix requirement file includes relative path handling. (#2764)
+
+## 2.38.0
+
+This release adds support for `pex3 lock export --format pep-751` to export Pex locks in the new
+[pylock.toml][PEP-751] format. `pex3 lock export-subset` also supports `pylock.toml` and both
+forms of export respect universal locks, leveraging the optional [marker][PEP-751-marker] package
+field to make packages installable or not based on the environment the exported lock is used to
+install in.
+
+This release does _not_ include support for building PEXes using PEP-751 locks. Add your concrete
+use case to [#2756](https://github.com/pex-tool/pex/issues/2756) if you have one.
+
+* Add `pex3 lock export --format pep-751` support. (#2760)
+
+[PEP-751]: https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/pylock-toml/#pylock-toml-spec
+[PEP-751-marker]: https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/pylock-toml/#packages-marker
+
+## 2.37.0
+
+This release fixes a bug in lock file generation for `--pip-version` >= 25.1 that would omit some
+abi3 wheels from locks.
+
+In addition, support for the latest Pip 25.1.1 bugfix release is also added.
+
+* Fix lock support for `--pip-version` >= 25.1. (#2754)
+
+## 2.36.1
+
+This release fixes a few issues with creating Pex locks when source requirements were involved.
+
+Previously, locking VCS requirements would fail for projects with non-normalized project names,
+e.g.: PySocks vs its normalized form of pysocks.
+
+Additionally, locking would fail when the requirements were specified at least in part via
+requirements files (`-r` / `--requirements`) and there was either a local project or a VCS
+requirement contained in the requirements files.
+
+* Fix Pex locking for source requirements. (#2750)
+
+## 2.36.0
+
+This release brings support for creating PEXes that target Android. The Pip 25.1 upgrade in Pex
+2.34.0 brought support for resolving Android platform-specific wheels and this releases upgrade
+of Pex's vendored packaging to 25.0 brings support for Pex properly dealing with those Android
+platform-specific wheels when packaging PEXes and when booting up from a PEX.
+
+* Upgrade to latest packaging for Python 3.8+. (#2748)
+
+## 2.35.0
+
+This release adds support for the `--resume-retries` option available in Pip 25.1. If you configure
+Pex to use Pip 25.1 or newer, it will now try to resume incomplete downloads 3 times by default.
+
+* Add support for `--resume-retries` in Pip 25.1. (#2746)
+
+## 2.34.0
+
+This release adds support for `--pip-version 25.1` as well as `--pip-version latest-compatible`. The
+`latest-compatible` version will be the latest `--pip-version` supported by Pex compatible with the
+current interpreter running Pex.
+
+* Add support for `--pip-version 25.1`. (#2744)
+
+## 2.33.10
+
+This release follows up on the PEX scie argv0 fix in #2738 to further ensure the argv0 of a PEX scie
+is the absolute path of the scie. In addition, a regression for PEX scies with no entry point is
+fixed, allowing such PEX scies to be used as `--python` targets in Pex invocations.
+
+* Fix PEX scie argv0 to be the scie absolute path. (#2741)
+* Fix entrypoint-less PEX scies used as `--python`. (#2742)
+
+## 2.33.9
+
+Fix argv0 in PEX scies to point to the scie itself instead of the unpacked PEX in the nce cache.
+
+* Fix argv0 in PEX scies to point to the scie itself. (#2738)
+
+## 2.33.8
+
+This release only upgrades the Pex PEX scies from Python 3.13.1 to 3.13.3.
+
+The main thrust of the release is to kick the tires on Pex's new build system which is powered by
+`uv` + `dev-cmd` and make sure all the action machinery is still working properly.
+
+## 2.33.7
+
+This release fixes `PEX_TOOLS=1 ./path/to/pex` for PEXes using venv-execution and sh-bootstrapping
+(that is, built with `--sh-boot --venv=... --include-tools` ). Previously, the `PEX_TOOLS=1` was
+ignored if the venv already existed in the `PEX_ROOT` (for instance, if the PEX had already been
+run).
+
+* Avoid fast-path in `--sh-boot` script when `PEX_TOOLS=1`. (#2726)
+
+## 2.33.6
+
+Fix PEP-723 script metadata parsing to skip metadata blocks found in multiline strings.
+
+* Fix PEP-723 script metadata parsing. (#2722)
+
+## 2.33.5
+
+This release fixes rate limit issues building CPython Pex scies by bumping to science 0.12.2 which
+is fixed to properly support bearer authentication via the `SCIENCE_AUTH_<normalized_host>_BEARER`
+environment variable.
+
+* Upgrade to `science` 0.12.2 to fix PBS rate limits. (#2720)
+
+## 2.33.4
+
+This release fixes PEX scies to exclude a ptex binary for `--scie eager` scies saving ~5MB on scies
+targeting 64 bit systems.
+
+* Do not include `ptex` in `--scie eager` scies. (#2717)
+
+## 2.33.3
+
+This release fixes Pex Zip64 support such that PEX zips do not use Zip64 extensions unless needed.
+Previously, any zip between ~2GB and ~4GB that actually fell under Zip64 limits would still use
+Zip64 extensions. This prevented the file from being bootable under Python before the 3.13 release
+since the `zipimporter` was not fixed to support ZIp64 extensions until then.
+
+The `--scie-only` option is fixed for the case when the `-o` / `--output-file` name does not end in
+`.pex`. Previously there would be no scie (or PEX) output at all!
+
+Finally, this release fixes PEX scies such that, when split, the embedded PEX is both executable and
+retains the expected name as provided by `-o` / `--output-file`.
+
+* Enable true Zip64 support. (#2714)
+* Fix `--scie-only` for `-o` not ending in `.pex`. (#2715)
+* Fix PEX scie contents when split. (#2713)
+
+## 2.33.2
+
+This release fixes PEXes build with root requirements like `foo[bar] foo[baz]` (vs. `foo[bar,baz]`,
+which worked already).
+
+* Fix dup requirement extra merging during PEX boot. (#2707)
+
+## 2.33.1
+
+This release fixes a bug in both `pex3 lock subset` and
+`pex3 lock {create,sync,update} --elide-unused-requires-dist` for `--style universal` locks whose
+locked requirements have dependencies de-selected by the following environment markers:
++ `os_name`
++ `platform_system`
++ `sys_platform`
++ `python_version`
++ `python_full_version`
+
+The first three could lead to errors when the universal lock was generated with `--target-system`s
+and the last two could lead to errors when the universal lock was generated with
+`--interpreter-constraint`.
+
+* Fix `pex3 lock subset`. (#2684)
+
+## 2.33.0
+
+This release adds support for Pip 25.0.1.
+
+* Add support for `--pip-version 25.0.1`. (#2671)
+
+## 2.32.1
+
+This release fixes a long-standing bug handling development versions of
+CPython (any non-tagged release of the interpreter). These interpreters
+report a full version of `X.Y.Z+` and the trailing `+` leads to a non
+PEP-440 compliant version number. This, in turn, causes issues with the
+`packaging` library leading to failures to evaluate markers for these
+interpreters which surface as inscrutable Pex errors.
+
+* Fix support for CPython development releases. (#2655)
+
+## 2.32.0
+
+This release adds support for Pip 25.0.
+
+* Add support for `--pip-version 25.0`. (#2652)
+
+## 2.31.0
+
+This release adds `pex3 lock subset <reqs...> --lock existing.lock` for
+creating a subset of an existing lock file. This is a fast operation
+that just trims un-used locked requirements from the lock but otherwise
+leaves the lock unchanged.
+
+* Add support for `pex3 lock subset`. (#2647)
+
+## 2.30.0
+
+This release brings `--sh-boot` support to PEXes with
+`--layout {loose,packed}`. Previously, the `--sh-boot` option only took
+effect for traditional PEX zip files. Now all PEX output and runtime
+schemes, in any combination, can benefit from the reduced boot latency
+`--sh-boot` brings on all runs of a PEX after the first.
+
+* Support `--sh-boot` for `--layout {loose,packed}`. (#2645)
+
+## 2.29.0
+
+This release brings 1st class support for newer Pip's
+`--keyring-provider` option. Previously you could only use `keyring`
+based authentication via `--use-pip-config` and either the
+`PIP_KEYRING_PROVIDER` environment variable or Pip config files.
+Although using `--keyring-provider import` is generally unusable in the
+face of Pex hermeticity strictures, `--keyring-provider subprocess` is
+viable; just ensure you have a keyring provider on the `PATH`. You can
+read more [here][Pip-KRP-subprocess].
+
+This release also brings [PEP-723][PEP-723] support to Pex locks. You
+can now pass `pex3 lock {create,sync,update} --exe <script> ...` to
+include the PEP-723 declared script requirements in the lock.
+
+* add `--keyring-provider` flag to configure keyring-based authentication (#2592)
+* Support locking PEP-723 requirements. (#2642)
+
+[Pip-KRP-subprocess]: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/topics/authentication/#using-keyring-as-a-command-line-application
+[PEP-723]: https://peps.python.org/pep-0723
+
+## 2.28.1
+
+This release upgrades `science` for use in building PEX scies with
+`--scie {eager,lazy}`. The upgraded `science` fixes issues dealing
+handling failed Python distribution downloads and should now be more
+robust and clear when downloads fail.
+
+* Upgrade `science` minimum requirement to 0.10.1. (#2637)
+
+## 2.28.0
+
+This release adds Pex `--scie {eager,lazy}` support for Linux ppc64le
+and s390x.
+
+* Add `--scie` support for Linux ppc64le and s390x. (#2635)
+
+## 2.27.1
+
+This release fixes a bug in `PEX_ROOT` handling that could manifest
+with symlinked `HOME` dirs or more generally symlinked dirs being
+parents of the `PEX_ROOT`. Although this was claimed to be fixed in
+the Pex 2.20.4 release by #2574, there was one missing case not handled.
+
+* Ensure that the `PEX_ROOT` is always a realpath. (#2626)
+
+## 2.27.0
+
+This release adds a Pex PEX scie for armv7l.
+
+* Add a Pex PEX scie for armv7l. (#2624)
+
+## 2.26.0
+
+This release adds Pex `--scie {eager,lazy}` support for Linux armv7l.
+
+In addition, a spurious warning when using `PEX_PYTHON=pythonX.Y`
+against a venv PEX has been fixed.
+
+* Added support for armv7l (#2620)
+* Fix incorrect regex for `PEX_PYTHON` precision warning (#2622)
+
+## 2.25.2
+
+This release fixes the `--elide-unused-requires-dist` lock option once
+again. The fix in 2.25.1 could lead to locked requirements having only
+a partial graph of extras which would allow a subsequent subset of those
+partial extras to silently resolve an incomplete set of dependencies.
+
+In addition, the Pex REPL for PEXes without entry points or else when
+forced with `PEX_INTERPRETER=1` is now fixed such that readline support
+always works. Previously, the yellow foreground color applied to the PS1
+and PS2 prompts would interfere with the tracked cursor position in some
+Pythons; so the yellow foreground color for those prompts is now
+dropped.
+
+* Fix `--elide-unused-requires-dist`: don't expose partial extras. (#2618)
+* Fix Pex REPL prompt. (#2617)
+
+## 2.25.1
+
+This is a hotfix release that fixes a bug in the implementation of the
+`--elide-unused-requires-dist` lock option introduced in Pex 2.25.0.
+
+* Fix `--elide-unused-requires-dist` for unactivated deps. (#2615)
+## 2.25.0
+
+This release adds support for
+`pex3 lock {create,sync} --elide-unused-requires-dist`. This new lock
+option causes any dependencies of a locked requirement that can never
+be activated to be elided from the lock file. This leads to no material
+difference in lock file use, but it does cut down on the lock file size.
+
+* Add `--elide-unused-requires-dist` lock option. (#2613)
+
+## 2.24.3
+
+This release fixes a long-standing bug in resolve checking. Previously,
+only resolve dependency chains where checked, but not the resolved
+distributions that satisfied the input root requirements.
+
+In addition, the 2.24.2 release included a wheel with no compression
+(~11MB instead of ~3.5MB). The Pex wheel is now fixed to be compressed.
+
+* Fix resolve check to cover dists satisfying root reqs. (#2610)
+* Fix build process to produce a compressed `.whl`. (#2609)
+
+## 2.24.2
+
+This release fixes a long-standing bug in "YOLO-mode" foreign platform
+speculative wheel builds. Previously if the speculatively built wheel
+had tags that did not match the foreign platform, the process errored
+pre-emptively. This was correct for complete foreign platforms, where 
+all tag information is known, but not for all cases of abbreviated
+platforms, where the failure was overly aggressive in some cases. Now
+foreign abbreviated platform speculative builds are only rejected when
+there is enough information to be sure the speculatively built wheel
+definitely cannot work on the foreign abbreviated platform.
+
+* Accept more foreign `--platform` "YOLO-mode" wheels. (#2607)
+
+## 2.24.1
+
+This release fixes `pex3 cache prune` handling of cached Pips.
+Previously, performing a `pex3 cache prune` would bump the last access
+time of all un-pruned cached Pips artificially. If you ran
+`pex3 cache prune` in a daily or weekly cron job, this would mean Pips
+would never be pruned.
+
+* Fix `pex3 cache prune` handling of cached Pips. (#2589)
+
+## 2.24.0
+
+This release adds `pex3 cache prune` as a likely more useful Pex cache
+management command than the existing `pex3 cache purge`. By default
+`pex3 cache prune` prunes any cached items not used for the last 2
+weeks and is likely suitable for use as a daily cron job to keep Pex
+cache sizes down. The default age of 2 weeks can be overridden by
+specifying `--older-than "1 week"` or `--last-access-before 14/3/2024`,
+etc. See `pex3 cache prune --help` for more details.
+
+* Support `pex3 cache prune --older-than ...`. (#2586)
+
+## 2.23.0
+
+This release adds support for drawing requirements from
+[PEP-735][PEP-735] dependency groups when creating PEXes or lock files.
+Groups are requested via `--group <name>@<project dir>` or just
+`--group <name>` if the project directory is the current working
+directory.
+
+* Add support for PEP-735 dependency groups. (#2584)
+
+[PEP-735]: https://peps.python.org/pep-0735/
+
+## 2.22.0
+
+This release adds support for `--pip-version 24.3.1`.
+
+* Add support for `--pip-version 24.3.1`. (#2582)
+
+## 2.21.0
+
+This release adds support for `--pip-version 24.3`.
+
+* Add support for `--pip-version 24.3`. (#2580)
+
+## 2.20.4
+
+This release carries several bug fixes and a performance improvement for
+lock deletes.
+
+Although there were no direct reports in the wild, @iritkatriel noticed
+by inspection the Pex `safe_mkdir` utility function would mask any
+`OSError` besides `EEXIST`. This is now fixed.
+
+It was observed by @b-x that when `PEX_ROOT` was contained in a
+symlinked path, PEXes would fail to execute. The most likely case
+leading to this would be a symlinked `HOME` dir. This is now fixed.
+
+This release also fixes a bug where `--pip-log <path>`, used multiple
+times in a row against the same file could lead to `pex3 lock` errors.
+Now the specified path is always truncated before use and a note has
+been added to the option `--help` that using the same `--pip-log` path
+in concurrent Pex runs is not supported.
+
+In addition, `pex3 lock {update,sync}` is now optimized for the cases
+where all the required updates are deletes. In this case neither Pip nor
+the network are consulted leading to speed improvements proportional to
+the size of the resolve.
+
+* Fix `safe_mkdir` swallowing non-`EEXIST` errors. (#2575)
+* Fix `PEX_ROOT` handling for symlinked paths. (#2574)
+* Fix `--pip-log` re-use. (#2570)
+* Optimize pure delete lock updates. (#2568)
+
+## 2.20.3
+
+This release fixes both PEX building and lock creation via
+`pex3 lock {create,sync}` to be reproducible in more cases. Previously,
+if a requirement only available in source form (an sdist, a local
+project or a VCS requirement) had a build that was not reproducible due
+to either file timestamps (where the `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` standard was
+respected) or random iteration order (e.g.: the `setup.py` used sets in
+certain in-opportune ways), Pex's outputs would mirror the problematic
+requirement's non-reproducibility. Now Pex plumbs a fixed
+`SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` and `PYTHONHASHSEED` to all places sources are
+built.
+
+* Plumb reproducible build env vars more thoroughly. (#2554)
+
+## 2.20.2
+
+This release fixes an old bug handling certain sdist zips under
+Python 2.7 as well missing support for Python 3.13's `PYTHON_COLORS`
+env var.
+
+* Fix Zip extraction UTF-8 handling for Python 2.7. (#2546)
+* Add repl support for `PYTHON_COLORS`. (#2545)
+
+## 2.20.1
+
+This release fixes Pex `--interpreter-constraint` handling such that
+any supplied interpreter constraints which are in principle
+unsatisfiable either raise an error or else cause a warning to be issued
+when other viable interpreter constraints have also been specified. For
+example, `--interpreter-constraint ==3.11.*,==3.12.*` now errors and
+`--interpreter-constraint '>=3.8,<3.8' --interpreter-constraint ==3.9.*`
+now warns, culling `>3.8,<3.8` and continuing using only `==3.9.*`.
+
+* Pre-emptively cull unsatisfiable interpreter constraints. (#2542)
+
+## 2.20.0
+
+This release adds the `--pip-log` alias for the existing
+`--preserve-pip-download-log` option as well as the ability to specify
+the log file path. So, to debug a resolve, you can now specify
+`--pip-log log.txt` and Pex will deposit the Pip resolve log to
+`log.txt` in the current directory for easy tailing or post-resolve
+inspection. In addition, the log file itself is more useful in some
+cases. When you specify any abbreviated `--platform` targets, those
+targets calculated wheel compatibility tags are included in the Pip
+log. Also, when multiple targets are specified, their log outputs are
+now merged at the end of the resolve in a serialized fashion with
+prefixes on each log line indicating which target the log line
+corresponds to.
+
+In addition, a race in Pex's PEP-517 implementation that could (rarely)
+lead to spurious metadata generation errors or sdist creation errors is
+fixed.
+
+* Fix intermittent PEP-517 failures. (#2540)
+* Plumb `--pip-version` to Platform tag calculation. (#2538)
+* Add the ability to specify the `--pip-log` path. (#2536)
+
+## 2.19.1
+
+This release fixes a regression introduced by #2512 in the 2.19.0
+release when building PEXes using abbreviated `--platform` targets.
+Instead of failing certain builds that used to succeed, Pex now warns
+that the resulting PEX may fail at runtime and that
+`--complete-platform` should be used instead.
+
+* Only warn when `--platform` resolves fail tag checks. (#2533)
+
+## 2.19.0
+
+This release adds support for a new `--pre-resolved-dists` resolver as
+an alternative to the existing Pip resolver, `--lock` resolver and
+`--pex-repository` resolvers. Using `--pre-resolved-dists dists/dir/`
+behaves much like `--no-pypi --find-links dists/dir/` except that it is
+roughly 3x faster.
+
+* Support `--pre-resolved-dists` resolver. (#2512)
+
+## 2.18.1
+
+This release fixes `--scie-name-style platform-parent-dir` introduced in
+#2523. Previously the target platform name also leaked into scies
+targeting foreign platforms despite using this option.
+
+* Fix `--scie-name-style platform-parent-dir`. (#2526)
+
+## 2.18.0
+
+This release adds support for `pex3 cache {dir,info,purge}` for
+inspecting and managing the Pex cache. Notably, the `pex3 cache purge`
+command is safe in the face of concurrent PEX runs, waiting for in
+flight PEX runs to complete and blocking new runs from starting once the
+purge is in progress. N.B.: when using `pex3 cache purge` it is best to
+install Pex with the 'management' extra; e.g.:
+`pip install pex[management]`. Alternatively, one of the new Pex scie
+binary releases can be used.
+
+In order to release a Pex binary that can support the new `pex3` cache
+management commands first class, a set of enhancements to project
+locking and scie generation were added. When using `--project` you can
+now specify extras; e.g.: `--project ./the/project-dir[extra1,extra2]`.
+When creating a Pex scie, you can now better control the output files
+using `--scie-only` to ensure no PEX file is emitted and
+`--scie-name-style` to control how the scie target platform name is
+mixed into the scie output file name. Additionally, you can request one
+or more shasum-compatible checksum files be emitted for each scie with
+`--scie-hash-alg`.
+
+On the locking front, an obscure bug locking project releases that
+contain artifacts that mis-report their version number via their file
+name has been fixed.
+
+Finally, the vendored Pip has had its own vendored CA cert bundle
+upgraded from that in certifi 2024.7.4 to that in certifi 2024.8.30.
+
+* Fix locking of sdists rejected by Pip. (#2524)
+* Add `--scie-only` & `--scie-name-style`. (#2523)
+* Support `--project` extras. (#2522)
+* Support shasum file gen via `--scie-hash-alg`. (#2520)
+* Update vendored Pip's CA cert bundle. (#2517)
+* Introduce `pex3 cache {dir,info,purge}`. (#2513)
+
+## 2.17.0
+
+This release brings support for overriding the versions of setuptools
+and wheel Pex bootstraps for non-vendored Pip versions (the modern ones
+you select with `--pip-version`) using the existing
+`--extra-pip-requirement` option introduced in the [2.10.0 release](
+https://github.com/pex-tool/pex/releases/tag/v2.10.0).
+
+* Support custom setuptools & wheel versions. (#2514)
+
+## 2.16.2
+
+This release brings a slew of small fixes across the code base.
+
+When creating locks for foreign platforms,
+`pex3 lock {create,update,sync}` now allows locking sdists that use
+PEP-517 build backends that do not support the
+`prepare_metadata_for_build_wheel` hook and whose product is a wheel not
+compatible with the foreign platform. This is decidedly a corner case,
+but one encountered with the `mesonpy` build backend which seems to have
+traction in the scientific computing world in particular.
+
+The recent re-vamp of the PEX REPL is now fixed to respect common
+conventions for controlling terminal output via the `NO_COLOR`,
+`FORCE_COLOR` and `TERM` environment variables.
+
+The examples in the [buildingpex docs](
+https://docs.pex-tool.org/buildingpex.html) had bit-rotted. They have
+been refreshed and now all work.
+
+Finally, both the Pex CLI and PEX files support the ambient OS standards
+for user cache directories. Instead of using `~/.pex` as the default
+`PEX_ROOT` cache location, the default is now `~/.cache/pex` on Linux (
+but respecting `XDG_CACHE_HOME` when set) and `~/Library/Caches/pex` on
+Mac.
+
+* Lock sdists in more cases for foreign platforms. (#2508)
+* Respect `NO_COLOR`, `FORCE_COLOR` & `TERM=dumb`. (#2507)
+* Fix `buildingpex.rst` examples. (#2506)
+* Respect OS user cache location conventions. (#2505)
+
+## 2.16.1
+
+This release fixes the PEX repl for [Python Standalone Builds][PBS]
+Linux CPython PEX scies. These PEXes ship using a version of libedit
+for readline support that does not support naive use of ansi terminal
+escape sequences for prompt colorization.
+
+* Fix PEX repl prompt for Linux PBS libedit. (#2503)
+
+## 2.16.0
+
+This release adds support for `--venv-system-site-packages` when
+creating a `--venv` PEX and `--system-site-packages` when creating a
+venv using the `pex-tools` / `PEX_TOOLS=1` `venv` command or when using
+the `pex3 venv create` command. Although this breaks PEX hermeticity, it
+can be the most efficient way to ship partial PEX venvs created with
+`--exclude`s to machines that have the excluded dependencies already
+installed in the site packages of a compatible system interpreter.
+
+* Support `--system-site-packages` when creating venvs. (#2500)
+
+## 2.15.0
+
+This release enhances the REPL your PEX drops into when it either
+doesn't have an entry point or you force interpreter mode with the
+`PEX_INTERPRETER` environment variable. There is now clear indication
+you are running in a PEX hermetic environment and a `pex` command
+added to the REPL that you can use to find out more details about the
+current PEX environment.
+
+* Add PEX info to the PEX repl. (#2496)
+
+## 2.14.1
+
+This release fixes `--inject-env` when used in combination with a
+`--scie-busybox` so that the injected environment variable can be
+overridden at runtime like it can form a traditional PEX.
+
+In addition, running a PEX with the Python interpreter `-i` flag or
+`PYTHONINSPECT=x` in the environment causes the PEX to enter the
+Python REPL after evaluating the entry point, if any.
+
+* Allow `--inject-env` overrides for `--scie-busybox`. (#2490)
+* Fix PEXes for `-i` / `PYTHONINSPECT=x`. (#2491)
+
+## 2.14.0
+
+This release brings support for creating PEX scies for PEXes targeting
+[PyPy][PyPy]. In addition, for PEX scies targeting CPython, you can now
+specify `--scie-pbs-stripped` to select a stripped version of the
+[Python Standalone Builds][PBS] CPython distribution embedded in your
+scie to save transfer bandwidth and disk space at the cost of losing
+Python debug symbols.
+
+Finally, support is added for `--scie-busybox` to turn your PEX into a
+multi-entrypoint [BusyBox][BusyBox]-like scie. This support is
+documented in depth at https://docs.pex-tool.org/scie.html
+
+* Support `--scie` for PyPy & support stripped CPython. (#2488)
+* Add support for `--scie-busybox`. (#2468)
+
+[PyPy]: https://pypy.org/
+[BusyBox]: https://www.busybox.net/
+
+## 2.13.1
+
+This release fixes the `--scie` option to support building a Pex PEX
+scie with something like `pex pex -c pex --venv --scie eager -o pex`.
+Previously, due to the output filename of `pex` colliding with fixed
+internal scie lift manifest file names, this would fail.
+
+* Handle all output file names when building scies. (#2484)
+
+## 2.13.0
+
+This release improves error message detail when there are failures in
+Pex sub-processes. In particular, errors that occur in `pip download`
+when building a PEX or creating a lock file now give more clear
+indication of what went wrong.
+
+Additionally, this release adds support for `--pip-version 24.2`.
+
+* Add more context for Job errors. (#2479)
+* Add support for `--pip-version 24.2`. (#2481)
+
+## 2.12.1
+
+This release refreshes the root CA cert bundle used by
+`--pip-version vendored` (which is the default Pip Pex uses for
+Python `<3.12`) from [certifi 2019.9.11](
+https://pypi.org/project/certifi/2019.9.11/)'s `cacert.pem` to
+[certifi 2024.7.4](https://pypi.org/project/certifi/2024.7.4/)'s
+`cacert.pem`. This refresh addresses at least [CVE-2023-37920](
+https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-37920) and was spearheaded by
+a contribution from [Nash Kaminski](https://github.com/gs-kamnas) in
+https://github.com/pex-tool/pip/pull/12. Thank you, Nash!
+
+* Update vendored Pip's CA cert bundle. (#2476)
+
+## 2.12.0
+
+This release adds support for passing `--site-packages-copies` to both
+`pex3 venv create ...` and `PEX_TOOLS=1 ./my.pex venv ...`. This is
+similar to `pex --venv --venv-site-packages-copies ...` except that
+instead of preferring hard links, a copy is always performed. This is
+useful to disassociate venvs you create using Pex from Pex's underlying
+`PEX_ROOT` cache.
+
+This release also adds partial support for statically linked CPython. If
+the statically linked CPython is `<3.12`, the default Pip (
+`--pip-version vendored`) used by Pex will work. All newer Pips will not
+though, until Pip 24.2 is released with the fix in
+https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/12716 and Pex releases with support for
+`--pip-version 24.2`.
+
+* Add `--site-packages-copies` for external venvs. (#2470)
+* Support statically linked CPython. (#2472)
+
+## 2.11.0
+
+This release adds support for creating native PEX executables that
+contain their own hermetic CPython interpreter courtesy of
+[Python Standalone Builds][PBS] and the [Science project][scie].
+
+You can now specify `--scie {eager,lazy}` when building a PEX file and
+one or more native executable PEX scies will be produced (one for each
+platform the PEX supports). These PEX scies are single file
+executables that look and behave like traditional PEXes, but unlike
+PEXes they can run on a machine with no Python interpreter available.
+
+[PBS]: https://github.com/astral-sh/python-build-standalone
+[scie]: https://github.com/a-scie
+
+* Add `--scie` option to produce native PEX exes. (#2466)
+
+## 2.10.1
+
+This release fixes a long-standing bug in Pex parsing of editable
+requirements. This bug caused PEXes containing local editable project
+requirements to fail to import those local editable projects despite
+the fact the PEX itself contained them.
+
+* Fix editable requirement parsing. (#2464)
+
+## 2.10.0
+
+This release adds support for injecting requirements into the isolated
+Pip PEXes Pex uses to resolve distributions. The motivating use case
+for this is to use the feature Pip 23.1 introduced for forcing
+`--keyring-provider import`.
+
+Pex already supported using a combination of the following to force
+non-interactive use of the keyring:
+1. A `keyring` script installation that was on the `PATH`
+2. A `--pip-version` 23.1 or newer.
+3. Specifying `--use-pip-config` to pass `--keyring-provider subprocess`
+   to Pip.
+
+You could not force `--keyring-provider import` though, since the Pips
+Pex uses are themselves hermetic PEXes without access to extra
+installed  keyring requirements elsewhere on the system. With
+`--extra-pip-requirement` you can now do this with the primary benefit
+over `--keyring-provider subprocess` being that you do not need to add
+the username to index URLs. This is ultimately because the keyring CLI
+requires username whereas the API does not; but see
+https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/topics/authentication/#keyring-support for
+more information.
+
+* Add support for `--extra-pip-requirement`. (#2461)
+
+## 2.9.0
+
+This release adds support for Pip 24.1.2.
+
+* Add support for `--pip-version 24.1.2`. (#2459)
+
+## 2.8.1
+
+This release fixes the `bdist_pex` distutils command to use the
+`--project` option introduced by #2455 in the 2.8.0 release. This
+change produces the same results for existing invocations of
+`python setup.py bdist_pex` but allows new uses passing locked project
+requirements (either hashed requirement files or Pex lock files) via
+`--pex-args`.
+
+* Fix `bdist_pex` to use `--project`. (#2457)
+
+## 2.8.0
+
+This release adds a new `--override` option to resolves that ultimately
+use an `--index` or `--find-links`. This allows you to override
+transitive dependencies when you have determined they are too narrow and
+that expanding their range is safe to do. The new `--override`s and the
+existing `--exclude`s can now also be specified when creating or syncing
+a lock file to seal these dependency modifications into the lock.
+
+This release also adds a new `--project` option to `pex` and
+`pex3 lock {create,sync}` that improves the ergonomics of locking a
+local Python project and then creating PEX executables for that project
+using its locked requirements.
+
+In addition, this release fixes the `bdist_pex` distutils command that
+ships with Pex to work when run under `tox` and Python 3.12 by improving
+Pex venv creation robustness when creating venvs that include Pip.
+
+* Add support for `--override`. (#2431)
+* Support `--project` locking and PEX building. (#2455)
+* Improve venv creation robustness when adding Pip. (#2454)
+
+## 2.7.0
+
+This release adds support for Pip 24.1.1.
+
+* Add support for `--pip-version 24.1.1`. (#2451)
+
+## 2.6.3
+
+There are no changes to Pex code or released artifacts over 2.6.1 or
+2.6.2, just a further fix to the GitHub Releases release process which
+#2442 broke and #2444 only partially fixed.
+
+* Fix GitHub Releases deployment. (#2448)
+
+## 2.6.2
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Although 2.6.2 successfully released to [PyPI](
+> https://pypi.org/project/pex/2.6.2/), it failed to release to GitHub
+> Releases (neither the Pex PEX nor the pex.pdf were published.) You
+> can use Pex 2.6.3 instead which has no Pex code changes over this
+> release.
+
+There are no changes to Pex code or released artifacts over 2.6.1, just
+a fix to the GitHub Releases release process which #2442 broke.
+
+* Fix GitHub Releases deployment. (#2444)
+
+## 2.6.1
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Although 2.6.1 successfully released to [PyPI](
+> https://pypi.org/project/pex/2.6.1/), it failed to release to GitHub
+> Releases (neither the Pex PEX nor the pex.pdf were published.) You
+> can use Pex 2.6.3 instead which has no Pex code changes over this
+> release.
+
+This release improves error messages when attempting to read invalid
+metadata from distributions such that the problematic distribution is
+always identified.
+
+* Improve errors for invalid distribution metadata. (#2443)
+
+## 2.6.0
+
+This release adds support for [PEP-723](
+https://peps.python.org/pep-0723) script metadata in `--exe`s. For such
+a script with metadata describing its dependencies or Python version
+requirements, running the script is as simple as
+`pex --exe <script> -- <script args>` and building a PEX encapsulating
+it as simple as `pex --exe <script> --output <PEX file>`.
+
+* Add support for PEP-723 script metadata to `--exe`. (#2436)
+
+## 2.5.0
+
+This release brings support for Python 3.13 and `--pip-version 24.1`,
+which is the first Pip version to support it.
+
+* Support `--pip-version 24.1` and Python 3.13. (#2435)
+
+## 2.4.1
+
+This release fixes `pex --only-binary X --lock ...` to work with lock
+files also created with `--only-binary X`. The known case here is a
+`--style universal` lock created with `--only-binary X` to achieve a
+partially wheel-only universal lock.
+
+* Fix `pex --only-binary X --lock ...`. (#2433)
+
+## 2.4.0
+
+This release brings new support for preserving arguments passed to the
+Python interpreter (like `-u` or `-W ignore`) either via running a PEX
+via Python from the command line like `python -u my.pex` or via a
+shebang with embedded Python arguments like `#!/usr/bin/python -u`.
+
+In addition, PEXes can now be built with `--inject-python-args` similar
+to the existing `--inject-args` but sealing in arguments to pass to
+Python instead. When both explicitly passed Python interpreter arguments
+and injected Python interpreter arguments are specified, the injected
+arguments appear first on the synthesized command line and the
+explicitly passed arguments appear last so that the explicit arguments
+can trump (which is how Python handles this).
+
+Several bugs existing in the `--exclude` implementation since its
+introduction are now fixed and the feature is greatly improved to act on
+excludes eagerly, never traversing them in the resolve process; thus
+avoiding downloads associated with them as well as potentially failing
+metadata extraction & wheel builds for ill-behaved sdists.
+
+Finally, a bug was fixed in `pex3 lock export` for lock files containing
+either locked VCS requirements or locked local project directories.
+Previously, these were exported with a `<project name>==<version>`
+requirement, which lost fidelity with the input requirement. Now they
+are exported with their original requirement form. Further, since the
+`--hash` of these styles of locked requirement are unuseable outside
+Pex, a new `--format` option of `pip-no-hashes` is introduced for the
+adventurous.
+
+* Implement support for preserving and injecting Python args. (#2427)
+* Fix `--exclude`. (#2409)
+* Fix `pex3 lock export` handling of exotic reqs. (#2423)
+
+## 2.3.3
+
+This release fixes `pex3 lock create` support for `--pip-version`s
+23.3.1 and newer. Previously, when locking using indexes that serve
+artifacts via re-directs, the resulting lock file would contain the
+final re-directed URL instead of the originating index artifact URL.
+This could lead to issues when the indexes re-direction scheme changed
+or else if authentication parameters in the original index URL were
+stripped in the Pip logs.
+
+* Fix artifact URL recording for `pip>=23.3`. (#2421)
+
+## 2.3.2
+
+This release fixes a regression for users of gevent monkey patching. The
+fix in #2356 released in Pex 2.1.163 lead to these users receiving
+spurious warnings from the gevent monkey patch system about ssl being
+patched too late.
+
+* Delay import of ssl in `pex.fetcher`. (#2417)
+
+## 2.3.1
+
+This release fixes Pex to respect lock file interpreter constraints and
+target systems when downloading artifacts.
+
+* Fix lock downloads to use all lock info. (#2396)
+
+## 2.3.0
+
+This release introduces `pex3 lock sync` as a higher-level tool that
+can be used to create and maintain a lock as opposed to using a
+combination of `pex3 lock create` and `pex3 lock update`. When there is
+no existing lock file, `pex3 lock sync --lock lock.json ...` is
+equivalent to `pex3 lock create --output lock.json ...`, it creates a
+new lock. On subsequent uses however,
+`pex3 lock sync --lock lock.json ...` updates the lock file minimally to
+meet any changed requirements or other changed lock settings.
+
+This release also fixes `pex --no-build --lock ...` to work with lock
+files also created with `--no-build`. The known case here is a
+`--style universal` lock created with `--no-build` to achieve a
+wheel-only universal lock.
+
+This release includes a fix to clarify the conditions under which
+`--requierements-pex` can be used to combine the third party
+dependencies from a pre-built PEX into a new PEX; namely, that the PEXes
+must use the same value for the `--pre-install-wheels` option.
+
+Finally, this release fixes `pex3 venv` to handle venvs created by
+Virtualenv on systems that distinguish `purelib` and `platlib`
+site-packages directories. Red Hat distributions are a notable example
+of this.
+
+* Implement pex3 lock sync. (#2373)
+* Guard against mismatched `--requirements-pex`. (#2392)
+* Fix `pex --no-build --lock ...`. (#2390)
+* Fix Pex to handle venvs with multiple site-packages dirs. (#2383)
+
+## 2.2.2
+
+This release fixes `pex3 lock create` to handle `.tar.bz2` and `.tgz`
+sdists in addition to the officially sanctioned `.tar.gz` and (less
+officially so) `.zip` sdists.
+
+* Handle `.tar.bz2` & `.tgz` sdists when locking. (#2380)
+
+## 2.2.1
+
+This release trims down the size of the Pex wheel on PyPI and the
+released Pex PEX by about 20KB by consolidating image resources.
+
+This release also fixes the release process to remove a window of time
+when several links would be dead on at https://docs.pex-tool.org that
+pointed to release artifacts that were not yet fully deployed.
+
+* Fix release ordering of the doc site deploy. (#2369)
+* Trim embedded doc image assets. (#2368)
+
+## 2.2.0
+
+This release adds tools to interact with Pex's new embedded offline
+documentation. You can browse those docs with `pex --docs` or, more
+flexibly, with `pex3 docs`. See `pex3 docs --help` for all the options
+available.
+
+This release also returns to [SemVer](https://semver.org/) versioning
+practices. Simply, you can expect 3 things from Pex version numbers:
+
++ The first component (the major version) will remain 2 as long as
+  possible. Pex tries very hard to never break existing users and to
+  allow them to upgrade without fear of breaking. This includes not
+  breaking Python compatibility. In Pex 2, Python 2.7 is supported as
+  well as Python 3.5+ for both CPython and PyPy. Pex will only continue
+  to add support for new CPython and PyPy releases and never remove
+  support for already supported Python versions while the major version
+  remains 2.
++ The second component (the minor version) will be incremented whenever
+  a release adds a feature. Since Pex is a command line tool only (not
+  a library), this means you can expect a new subcommand, a new option,
+  or a new allowable option value was added. Bugs might also have been
+  fixed.
++ The third component (the patch version) indicates only bugs were
+  fixed.
+
+You can expect the minor version to get pretty big going forward!
+
+* Add `pex --docs` and several `pex3 docs` options. (#2365)
+
+## 2.1.164
+
+This release moves Pex documentation from https://pex.readthedocs.io to
+https://docs.pex-tool.org. While legacy versioned docs will remain
+available at RTD in perpetuity, going forward only the latest Pex
+release docs will be available online at the https://docs.pex-tool.org
+site. If you want to see the Pex docs for the version you are currently
+using, Pex now supports the `pex3 docs` command which will serve the
+docs for your Pex version locally, offline, but with full functionality,
+including search.
+
+* Re-work Pex documentation. (#2362)
+
+## 2.1.163
+
+This release fixes Pex to work in certain OS / SSL environments where it
+did not previously. In particular, under certain Fedora distributions
+using certain Python Build Standalone interpreters.
+
+* Create SSLContexts in the main thread. (#2356)
+
+## 2.1.162
+
+This release adds support for `--pip-version 24.0` as well as fixing a
+bug in URL encoding for artifacts in lock files. Notably, torch's use of
+local version identifiers (`+cpu`) combined with their find links page
+at https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html would lead to
+`pex3 lock create` errors.
+
+* Add support for Pip 24.0. (#2350)
+* Fix URL escaping for lock artifacts. (#2349)
+
+## 2.1.161
+
+This release adds support for `--only-wheel <project name>` and
+`--only-build <project name>` to allow finer control over which
+distribution artifacts are resolved when building a PEX or creating or
+updating a lock file. These options correspond to Pip's `--only-binary`
+and `--no-binary` options with project name arguments.
+
+* Plumb Pip's `--{no,only}-binary`. (#2346)
+
+## 2.1.160
+
+This release adds the ability for `pex3 lock update` to replace
+requirements in a lock or delete them from the lock using
+`-R` / `--replace-project` and `-d` / `--delete-project`, respectively.
+
+* Lock updates support deleting & replacing reqs. (#2335)
+
+## 2.1.159
+
+This release brings a fix for leaks of Pex's vendored `attrs` onto the
+`sys.path` of PEXes during boot in common usage scenarios.
+
+* Fix vendored attrs `sys.path` leak. (#2328)
+
+## 2.1.158
+
+This release adds support for tab completion to all PEX repls running
+under Pythons with the `readline` module available. This tab completion
+support is on-par with newer Python REPL out of the box tab completion
+support.
+
+* Add tab-completion support to PEX repls. (#2321)
+
+## 2.1.157
+
+This release fixes a bug in `pex3 lock update` for updates that leave
+projects unchanged whose primary artifact is an sdist.
+
+* Fix lock updates for locks with sdist bystanders. (#2325)
+
+## 2.1.156
+
+This release optimizes wheel install overhead for warm caches. Notably,
+this speeds up warm boot for PEXes containing large distributions like
+PyTorch as well as creating venvs from them.
+
+* Lower noop wheel install overhead. (#2315)
+
+## 2.1.155
+
+This release brings support for `--pip-version 23.3.2` along with
+optimizations that reduce built PEX size for both `--include-tools` and
+`--venv` PEXes (which includes the Pex PEX) as well as reduce PEX build
+time for `--pre-install-wheels` PEXes (the default) and PEX cold first
+boot time for `--no-pre-install-wheels` PEXes that use more than one
+parallel install job.
+
+* Add support for Pip 23.3.2. (#2307)
+* Remove `Pip.spawn_install_wheel` & optimize. (#2305)
+* Since we no longer use wheel code, remove it. (#2302)
+
+## 2.1.154
+
+This release brings three new features:
+
+1.  When creating PEXes without specifying an explicit
+    `--python-shebang`, an appropriate shebang is chosen correctly in
+    more cases than previously and a warning is emitted when the shebang
+    chosen cannot be guaranteed to be correct. The common case this
+    helps select the appropriate shebang for is PEXes built using
+    `--platform` or `--complete-platform`.
+2.  PEXes can now be created with `--no-pre-install-wheels` to cut down
+    PEX build times with a tradeoff of roughly 10% greater boot overhead
+    upon the 1st execution of the PEX file. For PEXes with very large
+    dependency sets (machine learning provides common cases), the build
+    time savings can be dramatic.
+3.  PEXes can now be told to install dependencies at runtime on 1st
+    execution using parallel processes using `--max-install-jobs` at PEX
+    build time or by setting the `PEX_MAX_INSTALL_JOBS` environment
+    variable at runtime.
+
+The last two features come with complicated tradeoffs and are turned off
+by default as a result. If you think they might help some of your use
+cases, there is more detail in the command line help for
+`--no-pre-install-wheels` and `--max-install-jobs` as well as in the
+`pex --help-variables` output for `PEX_MAX_INSTALL_JOBS`. You can also
+find a detailed performance analysis in #2292 for the extreme cases of
+very small and very large PEXes. In the end though, experimenting is
+probably your best bet.
+
+* Use appropriate shebang for multi-platform PEXes. (#2296)
+* Add support for --no-pre-install-wheels and --max-install-jobs. (#2298)
+
+## 2.1.153
+
+This release fixes Pex runtime `sys.path` scrubbing to do less work and
+thus avoid errors parsing system installed distributions with bad
+metadata.
+
+* Remove Pex runtime scrubbing dist discovery. (#2290)
+
+## 2.1.152
+
+This release fixes the computation of the hash of the code within a PEX
+when nested within directories, a bug introduced in 2.1.149.
+
+* Exclude pyc dirs, not include, when hashing code (#2286)
+
+## 2.1.151
+
+This release brings support for a new `--exclude <req>` PEX build option
+that allows eliding selected resolved distributions from the final PEX.
+This is an advanced feature that will, in general, lead to broken PEXes
+out of the box; so read up on the `--exclude` command line help to make
+sure you understand the consequences.
+
+This release also brings a fix for `--inject-env` that ensures the
+specified environment variables are always injected to the PEX at
+runtime regardless of the PEX entry point exercised.
+
+* Implement support for `--exclude <req>`. (#2281)
+* Relocate environment variable injection to before the interpreter is run (#2260)
+
+## 2.1.150
+
+This release brings support for `--pip-version 23.3.1`.
+
+* Add support for Pip 23.3.1. (#2276)
+
+## 2.1.149
+
+Fix `--style universal` lock handing of `none` ABI wheels with a
+specific Python minor version expressed in their wheel tag. There are
+not many of these in the wild, but a user discovered the case of
+python-forge 18.6.0 which supplies 1 file on PyPI:
+`python_forge-18.6.0-py35-none-any.whl`.
+
+* Fix universal lock handling of the none ABI. (#2270)
+
+## 2.1.148
+
+Add support to the Pex for checking if built PEXes are valid Python
+zipapps. Currently, Python zipapps must reside in 32 bit zip files due
+to limitations of the stdlib `zipimport` module's `zipimporter`; so this
+check amounts to a check that the built PEX zip does not use ZIP64
+extensions. The check is controlled with a new
+`--check {none,warn,error}` option, defaulting to warn.
+
+* Add --check support for zipapps. (#2253)
+
+## 2.1.147
+
+Add support for `--use-pip-config` to allow the Pip Pex calls to read
+`PIP_*` env vars and Pip configuration files. This can be particularly
+useful for picking up custom index configuration (including auth).
+
+* Add support for --use-pip-config. (#2243)
+
+## 2.1.146
+
+This release brings a fix by new contributor @yjabri for the `__pex__`
+import hook that gets it working properly for `--venv` mode PEXes.
+
+* Fix non executable venv sys path bug (#2236)
+
+## 2.1.145
+
+This release broadens the range of the `flit-core` build system Pex uses
+to include 3.x, which is known to work for modern Python versions and
+Pex's existing build configuration.
+
+* Raise the flit-core limit for Python 3 (#2229)
+
+## 2.1.144
+
+This release fixes Pex to build PEX files with deterministic file order
+regardless of the operating system / file system the PEX was built on.
+
+* Traverse directories in stable order when building a PEX (#2220)
+
+## 2.1.143
+
+This release fixes Pex to work by default under eCryptFS home dirs.
+
+* Guard against too long filenames on eCryptFS. (#2217)
+
+## 2.1.142
+
+This release fixes Pex to handle Pip backtracking due to sdist build
+errors when attempting to extract metadata.
+
+* Handle backtracking due to sdist build errors. (#2213)
+
+## 2.1.141
+
+This release fixes the Pex CLI to work when run from a read-only
+installation. A prominent example of this comes in certain nix setups.
+
+* Fix the Pex CLI to work when installed read-only. (#2205)
+
+## 2.1.140
+
+This release fixes several spurious warnings emitted for Python 3.11 and
+3.12 users and fixes a leak of Pex's vendored `attrs` when using the
+`__pex__` import hook.
+
+* Eliminate warnings for default use. (#2188)
+* Cleanup sys.path after __pex__ is imported. (#2189)
+
+## 2.1.139
+
+This release brings support for Python 3.12 and Pip 23.2 which is the
+minimum required Pip version for Python 3.12. N.B.: Since Pip 23.2
+requires Python 3.7 or newer, multiplatform PEX files and locks that
+support Python 3.12 will not also be able to support Python 2.7, 3.5
+or 3.6 even though Pex continues to support those versions generally.
+
+In addition, two new options for adding local project source files to
+a pex are added: `-P/--package` and `-M/--module`. Importantly, you can
+use the options instead of the existing `-D/--sources-directory` when
+you have a project with code at the top level (i.e.: not in a `src/`
+subdirectory for example) intermixed with other files you prefer not to
+include in the PEX. See `pex --help` for more details on using these new
+options.
+
+Finally, an internal API is fixed that allows for Lambdex files to
+include versions of `attrs` incompatible with Pex's own vendored version.
+
+* Add official support for Python 3.12 / Pip 23.2. (#2176)
+* Add support for selecting packages and modules. (#2181)
+* Fix `pex.pex_bootstrapper.bootstrap_pex_env` leak. (#2184)
+
+## 2.1.138
+
+This release brings fixes for two obscure corner cases.
+
+Previously, if you used `--venv` PEXes in the default symlinked
+site-packages mode that contained first party code in a namespace
+package shared with 3rd-party dependencies the first party code would
+contaminate the Pex installed wheel cache for one of the 3rd-party
+dependencies in PEX.
+
+Even more obscure (the only known issue was in Pex's own CI), if you
+ran the Pex CLI concurrently using two different `--pip-version`
+arguments, you may have seen spurious Pip HTTP errors that found an
+invalid `Content-Type: Unknown` header.
+
+* Isolate the Pip cache per Pip version. (#2164)
+* Fix symlinked venv ns-package calcs. (#2165)
+
+## 2.1.137
+
+This release fixes a long-standing bug in lock file creation for exotic
+locking scenarios pulling the same project from multiple artifact
+sources (any mix of URLs, VCS and local project directories).
+
+* Fix inter-artifact comparisons. (#2152)
+
+## 2.1.136
+
+This release adds the `pex3 lock export-subset` command. This is a
+version of `pex3 lock export` that also accepts requirements arguments
+allowing just a subset of the lock satisfying the given requirements to
+be exported.
+
+* Add `pex3 lock export-subset`. (#2145)
+
+## 2.1.135
+
+This release brings support for `pex3 venv {inspect,create}` for working
+with venvs directly using Pex. Previously, a PEX built with
+`--include-tools` (or `--venv`) had the capability of turning itself
+into a venv but the new `pex3 venv create` command can do this for any
+PEX file with the addition of a few new features:
+
+1.  The venv can now be created directly from requirements producing no
+    intermediate PEX file.
+2.  The venv can be created either from a PEX file or a lock file. A
+    subset of either of those can be chosen by also supplying
+    requirements.
+3.  Instead of creating a full-fledged venv, just the site-packages can
+    be exported (without creating an intermediate venv). This "flat"
+    layout is used by several prominent runtimes - notably AWS Lambda
+    -and emulates `pip install --target`. This style layout can also be
+    zipped and prefixed. Additionally, it supports `--platform` and
+    `--complete-platform` allowing creation of, for example, an AWS
+    Lambda (or Lambda Layer) deployment zip on a non-Linux host.
+
+Additionally, this release adds support for Pip 23.1.1 and 23.1.2.
+
+* Add Support for Pip 23.1.1. (#2133)
+* Introduce pex3 venv inspect. (#2135)
+* Introduce pex3 venv create. (#2140)
+* Add support for Pip 23.1.2. (#2142)
+
+## 2.1.134
+
+This release fixes `pex3 lock create` gathering of sdist metadata for
+PEP-517 build backends with non-trivial `get-requires-for-build-wheel`
+requirements.
+
+* Use get_requires_for_build_wheel for metadata prep. (#2129)
+
+## 2.1.133
+
+This release fixes `--venv` mode PEX venv script shebangs for some
+scenarios using Python `<=3.7` interpreters.
+
+* Fix venv script shebangs. (#2122)
+
+## 2.1.132
+
+This release brings support for the latest Pip release with
+`--pip-version 23.1` or by using new support for pinning to the latest
+version of Pip supported by Pex with `--pip-version latest`.
+
+* Add support for Pip 23.1 (#2114)
+* Add support for `--pip-version latest`. (#2116)
+
+## 2.1.131
+
+This release fixes some inconsistencies in Pex JSON output across the
+Python 2/3 boundary and in handling of venv collisions when using the
+venv Pex tool.
+
+* Stabilize JSON output format across Python 2/3. (#2106)
+* Support `--pip` overrides via PEX deps. (#2107)
+
+## 2.1.130
+
+This release fixes a regression locking certain complex cases of direct
+and transitive requirement interactions as exemplified in #2098.
+
+* Guard lock analysis against Pip-cached artifacts. (#2103)
+
+## 2.1.129
+
+This release fixes a bug downloading a VCS requirement from a lock when
+the ambient Python interpreter used to run Pex does not meet the
+`Requires-Python` constraint of the VCS requirement.
+
+* Fix VCS lock downloads to respect target. (#2094)
+
+## 2.1.128
+
+This release fixes a regression introduced in Pex 2.1.120 that caused
+`--no-venv-site-packages-copies` (the default when using `--venv`) to
+be ignored for both zipapp PEXes (the default) and `--layout packed`
+PEXes.
+
+* Fix regression in venv symlinking. (#2090)
+
+## 2.1.127
+
+This release fixes `--lock` resolve sub-setting for local project
+requirements.
+
+* Fix lock subsetting for local projects. (#2085)
+
+## 2.1.126
+
+This release fixes a long-standing (> 4 years old!) concurrency bug
+when building the same sdist for the 1st time and racing another Pex
+process doing the same sdist build.
+
+* Guard against racing sdist builds. (#2080)
+
+## 2.1.125
+
+This release makes `--platform` and `--complete-platform` resolves and
+locks as permissive as possible. If such a resolve or lock only has an
+sdist available for a certain project, that sdist will now be used if it
+builds to a wheel compatible with the specified foreign platform(s).
+
+* Attempt "cross-builds" of sdists for foreign platforms. (#2075)
+
+## 2.1.124
+
+This release adds support for specifying `--non-hermetic-venv-scripts`
+when building a `--venv` PEX. This can be useful when integrating with
+frameworks that do setup via `PYTHONPATH` manipulation.
+
+Support for Pip 23.0.1 and setuptools 67.4.0 is added via
+`--pip-version 23.0.1`.
+
+Additionally, more work towards hardening Pex against rare concurrency
+issues in its atomic directory handling is included.
+
+* Introduce `--non-hermetic-venv-scripts`. (#2068)
+* Wrap inter-process locks in in-process locks. (#2070)
+* Add support for Pip 23.0.1. (#2072)
+
+## 2.1.123
+
+This release fixes a few `pex3 lock create` bugs.
+
+There was a regression introduced in Pex 2.1.122 where projects that
+used a PEP-518 `[build-system] requires` but specified no corresponding
+`build-backend` would fail to lock.
+
+There were also two long-standing issues handling more exotic direct
+reference URL requirements. Source archives with names not following the
+standard Python sdist naming scheme of
+`<project name>-<version>.{zip,tar.gz}` would cause a lock error. An
+important class of these is provided by GitHub's magic source archive
+download URLs. Also, although local projects addressed with Pip
+proprietary support for pure local path requirements would lock, the
+same local projects addressed via
+`<project name> @ file://<local project path>` would also cause a lock
+error. Both of these cases are now fixed and can be locked successfully.
+
+When locking with an `--interpreter-constraint`, any resolve traversing
+wheels using the `pypyXY` or `cpythonXY` python tags would cause the
+lock to error. Wheels with this form of python tag are now handled
+correctly.
+
+* Handle `[build-system]` with no build-backend. (#2064)
+* Handle locking all direct reference URL forms. (#2060)
+* Fix python tag handling in IC locks. (#2061)
+
+## 2.1.122
+
+This release fixes posix file locks used by Pex internally and enhances
+lock creation to support locking sdist-only C extension projects that do
+not build on the current platform. Pex is also updated to support
+`--pip-version 22.3.1` and `--pip-version 23.0`, bringing it up to date
+with the latest Pip's available.
+
+* Support the latest Pip releases: 22.3.1 & 23.0 (#2056)
+* Lock sdists with `prepare-metadata-for-build-wheel`. (#2053)
+* Fix `execute_parallel` "leaking" a thread. (#2052)
+
+## 2.1.121
+
+This release fixes two bugs brought to light trying to interoperate with
+Poetry projects.
+
+* Support space separated markers in URL reqs. (#2039)
+* Handle `file://` URL deps in distributions. (#2041)
+
+## 2.1.120
+
+This release completes the `--complete-platform` fix started in Pex
+2.1.116 by #1991. That fix did not work in all cases but now does.
+
+PEXes run in interpreter mode now support command history when the
+underlying interpreter being used to run the PEX does; use the
+`PEX_INTERPRETER_HISTORY` bool env var to turn this on.
+
+Additionally, PEXes built with the combination
+`--layout loose --venv --no-venv-site-packages-copies` are fixed to be
+robust to moves of the source loose PEX directory.
+
+* Fix loose `--venv` PEXes to be robust to moves. (#2033)
+* Fix interpreter resolution when using `--complete-platform` with
+    `--resolve-local-platforms` (#2031)
+* Support REPL command history. (#2018)
+
+## 2.1.119
+
+This release brings two new features. The venv pex tool now just warns
+when using `--compile` and there is a `*.pyc` compile error instead of
+failing to create the venv. Also, a new `PEX_DISABLE_VARIABLES` env var
+knob is added to turn off reading all `PEX_*` env vars from the
+environment.
+
+* Ignore compile error for `PEX_TOOLS=1` (#2002)
+* Add `PEX_DISABLE_VARIABLES` to lock down a PEX run. (#2014)
+
+## 2.1.118
+
+This is a very tardy hotfix release for a regression introduced in Pex
+2.1.91 by #1785 that replaced `sys.argv[0]` with its fully resolved
+path. This prevented introspecting the actual file path used to launch
+the PEX which broke BusyBox-alike use cases.
+
+There is also a new `--non-hermetic-scripts` option accepted by the
+`venv` tool to allow running console scripts with `PYTHONPATH`
+adjustments to the `sys.path`.
+
+* Remove un-needed realpathing of `sys.argv[0]`. (#2007)
+* Add `--non-hermetic-scripts` option to `venv` tool. (#2010)
+
+## 2.1.117
+
+This release fixes a bug introduced in Pex 2.1.109 where the released
+Pex PEX could not be executed by PyPy interpreters. More generally, any
+PEX created with interpreter constraints that did not specify the Python
+implementation, e.g.: `==3.8.*`, were interpreted as being CPython
+specific, i.e.: `CPython==3.8.*`. This is now fixed, but if the
+intention of a constraint like `==3.8.*` was in fact to restrict to
+CPython only, interpreter constraints need to say so now and use
+`CPython==3.8.*` explicitly.
+
+* Fix interpreter constraint parsing. (#1998)
+
+## 2.1.116
+
+This release fixes a bug in `--resolve-local-platforms` when
+`--complete-platform` was used.
+
+* Check for `--complete-platforms` match when
+    `--resolve-local-platforms` (#1991)
+
+## 2.1.115
+
+This release brings some attention to the `pex3 lock export` subcommand
+to make it more useful when interoperating with `pip-tools`.
+
+* Sort requirements based on normalized project name when exporting
+    (#1992)
+* Use raw version when exporting (#1990)
+
+## 2.1.114
+
+This release brings two fixes for `--venv` mode PEXes.
+
+* Only insert `""` to head of `sys.path` if a venv PEX runs in
+    interpreter mode (#1984)
+* Map pex python path interpreter to realpath when creating venv dir
+    hash. (#1972)
+
+## 2.1.113
+
+This is a hotfix release that fixes errors installing wheels when there
+is high parallelism in execution of Pex processes. These issues were a
+regression introduced by #1961 included in the 2.1.112 release.
+
+* Restore AtomicDirectory non-locked good behavior. (#1974)
+
+## 2.1.112
+
+This release brings support for the latest Pip release and includes some
+internal changes to help debug intermittent issues some users are seeing
+that implicate what may be file locking related bugs.
+
+* Add support for `--pip-version 22.3`. (#1953)
+
+## 2.1.111
+
+This release fixes resolving requirements from a lock using arbitrary
+equality (`===`).
+
+In addition, you can now "inject" runtime environment variables and
+arguments into PEX files such that, when run, the PEX runtime ensures
+those environment variables and command line arguments are passed to the
+PEXed application. See [PEX Recipes](
+https://docs.pex-tool.org/recipes.html#uvicorn-and-other-customizable-application-servers
+)
+for more information.
+
+* Fix lock resolution to handle arbitrary equality. (#1951)
+* Support injecting args and env vars in a PEX. (#1948)
+
+## 2.1.110
+
+This release fixes Pex runtime `sys.path` scrubbing for cases where Pex
+is not the main entry point. An important example of this is in Lambdex
+where the AWS Lambda Python runtime packages (`boto3` and `botocore`)
+are leaked into the PEX runtime `sys.path`.
+
+* Fix `sys.path` scrubbing. (#1946)
+
+## 2.1.109
+
+This release brings musllinux wheel support and a fix for a regression
+introduced in Pex 2.1.105 by #1902 that caused `PEX_PATH=` (an exported
+`PEX_PATH` with an empty string value) to raise an error in almost all
+use cases.
+
+* Vendor latest packaging; support musllinux wheels. (#1937)
+* Don't treat `PEX_PATH=` as `.` like other PATHS. (#1938)
+
+## 2.1.108
+
+This release fixes a latent PEX boot performance bug triggered by
+requirements with large extras sets.
+
+* Fix slow PEX boot time when there are many extras. (#1929)
+
+## 2.1.107
+
+This release fixes an issue handling credentials in git+ssh VCS urls
+when creating locks.
+
+* Fix locks for git+ssh with credentials. (#1923)
+
+## 2.1.106
+
+This release fixes a long-standing bug in handling direct reference
+requirements with a local version component.
+
+* Unquote path component of parsed url requirements (#1920)
+
+## 2.1.105
+
+This is a fix release which addresses issues related to build time
+work_dir creation, virtualenv, and sh_boot support.
+
+In the unlikely event of a UUID collision in atomic workdir creation,
+pex could overwrite an existing directory and cause a corrupt state.
+When building a shell bootable `--sh-boot` pex the `--runtime-pex-root`
+was not always respected based on the condition of the build
+environment, and the value of the PEX_ROOT.
+
+* Fail on atomic_directory work_dir collision. (#1905)
+* Use raw_pex_root when constructing sh_boot pexes. (#1906)
+* Add support for offline downloads (#1898)
+
+## 2.1.104
+
+This release brings a long-awaited upgrade of the Pip Pex uses, but
+behind a `--pip-version 22.2.2` flag you must opt in to. Pex will then
+use that version of Pip if it can (your Pex operations target Python
+`>=3.7`) and warn and fall back to the older vendored Pip (20.3.4) if it
+can't. To turn the need to fall back to older Pip from a warning into a
+hard error you can also specify `--no-allow-pip-version-fallback`.
+
+The `pex3 lock update` command now gains the ability to update just the
+index and find links repos the lock's artifacts originate from by using
+a combination of `--no-pypi`, `--index` & `--find-links` along with
+`--pin` to ensure the project versions stay pinned as they are in the
+lockfile and just the repos they are downloaded from is altered. Consult
+the CLI `--help` for `--fingerprint-mismatch {ignore,warn,error}` to
+gain more control over repo migration behavior.
+
+There are several bug fixes as well dealing with somewhat esoteric
+corner cases involving changing a PEX `--layout` from one form to
+another and building artifacts using certain interpreters on macOS 11.0
+(aka: 10.16).
+
+* Add support for Pip 22.2.2. (#1893)
+* Make lock update sensitive to artifacts. (#1887)
+* Ensure locally built wheel is consumable locally. (#1886)
+* Ensure `--output` always overwrites destination. (#1883)
+
+## 2.1.103
+
+This release fixes things such that pex lockfiles can be created and
+updated using the Pex PEX when local projects are involved.
+
+* Fix `pex3 lock ...` when run from the Pex PEX. (#1874)
+
+## 2.1.102
+
+This is a hotfix release that fixes a further corner missed by #1863 in
+the Pex 2.1.101 release whereby Pex would fail to install
+platform-specific packages on Red Hat based OSes.
+
+In addition, an old but only newly discovered bug in
+`--inherit-path={prefer,fallback}` handling is fixed. Previously only
+using `PEX_INHERIT_PATH={prefer,fallback}` at runtime worked properly.
+
+In the process of fixing the old `--inherit-path={prefer,fallback}` bug,
+also fix another old bug handling modern virtualenv venvs under Python
+2.7 during zipapp execution mode PEX boots.
+
+* Fix wheel installs: account for purelib & platlib. (#1867)
+* Fix `--inhert-path` handling. (#1871)
+* Error using pex + `virtualenv>=20.0.0` + python 2.7 (#992)
+
+## 2.1.101
+
+This release fixes a corner-case revealed by python-certifi-win32 1.6.1
+that was not previously handled when installing certain distributions.
+
+* Make wheel install `site-packages` detection robust. (#1863)
+
+## 2.1.100
+
+This release fixes a hole in the lock creation `--target-system` feature
+added in #1823 in Pex 2.1.95.
+
+* Fix lock creation `--target-system` handling. (#1858)
+
+## 2.1.99
+
+This release fixes a concurrency bug in the `pex --lock ...` artifact
+downloading.
+
+* Fix `pex --lock ...` concurrent download errors. (#1854)
+
+## 2.1.98
+
+This releases fixes regressions in foreign `--platform` handling and
+artifact downloading introduced by #1787 in Pex 2.1.91 and #1811 in
+2.1.93.
+
+In addition, PEXes can now be used as `sys.path` entries. Once on the
+`sys.path`, via `PYTHONPATH` or other means, the code in the PEX can be
+made importable by first importing `__pex__` either as its own
+stand-alone import statement; e.g.: `import __pex__; import psutil` or
+as a prefix of the code to import from the PEX; e.g.:
+`from __pex__ import psutil`.
+
+* Tags should be patched for `--platform`. (#1846)
+* Add support for importing from PEXes. (#1845)
+* Fix artifact downloads for foreign platforms. #1851
+
+## 2.1.97
+
+This release patches a hole left by #1828 in the Pex 2.1.95 release
+whereby, although you could run a PEX under a too-long PEX_ROOT you
+could not build a PEX under a tool-long PEX_ROOT.
+
+* Avoid ENOEXEC for Pex internal `--venv`s. (#1843)
+
+## 2.1.96
+
+This is a hotfix release that fixes `--venv` mode `PEX_EXTRA_SYS_PATH`
+propagation introduced in Pex 2.1.95 to only apply to `sys.executable`
+and not other Pythons.
+
+* Fix `--venv` `PEX PEX_EXTRA_SYS_PATH` propagation. (#1837)
+
+## 2.1.95
+
+This release brings two new `pex3 lock` features for `--style universal`
+locks.
+
+By default, universal locks are created to target all operating systems.
+This can cause problems when you only target a subset of operating
+systems and a lock transitive dependency that is conditional on an OS
+you do not target is not lockable. The new
+`--target-system {linux,mac,windows}` option allows you to restrict the
+set of targeted OSes to work around this sort of issue. Since PEX files
+currently only support running on Linux and Mac, specifying
+`--target-system linux --target-system mac` is a safe way to
+pre-emptively avoid these sorts of locking issues when creating a
+universal lock.
+
+Previously you could not specify the `--platform`s or
+`--complete-platform`s you would be using later to build PEXes with when
+creating a universal lock. You now can, and Pex will verify the
+universal lock can support all the specified platforms.
+
+As is usual there are also several bug fixes including properly
+propagating `PEX_EXTRA_SYS_PATH` additions to forked Python processes,
+fixing `pex3 lock export` to only attempt to export for the selected
+target and avoiding too long shebang errors for `--venv` mode PEXes in a
+robust way.
+
+* Fix `PEX_EXTRA_SYS_PATH` propagation. (#1832)
+* Fix `pex3 lock export`: re-use `--lock` resolver. (#1831)
+* Avoid ENOEXEC for `--venv` shebangs. (#1828)
+* Check lock can resolve platforms at creation time. (#1824)
+* Support restricting universal lock target os. (#1823)
+
+## 2.1.94
+
+This is a hotfix release that fixes a regression introduced in Pex
+2.1.93 downloading certain sdists when using `pex --lock ...`.
+
+* Fix `pex --lock ...` handling of sdists. (#1818)
+
+## 2.1.93
+
+This release brings several new features in addition to bug fixes.
+
+When creating a PEX the entry point can now be any local python script
+by passing `--exe path/to/python-script`.
+
+The `pex3 lock update` command now supports a `-dry-dun check` mode that
+exits non-zero to indicate that a lock needs updating and the
+`-p / --project` targeted update arguments can now be new projects to
+attempt to add to the lock.
+
+On the bug fix front, traditional zipapp mode PEX files now properly
+scrub `sys.displayhook` and `sys.excepthook` and their teardown sequence
+has now been simplified fixing logging to stderr late in teardown.
+
+Finally, `pex3 lock create` now logs when requirement resolution is
+taking a long time to provide some sense of progress and suggest generic
+remedies and `pex --lock` now properly handles authentication.
+
+* Support adding new requirements in a lock update. (#1797)
+* Add `pex3 lock update --dry-run check` mode. (#1799)
+* Universal locks no longer record a `platform_tag`. (#1800)
+* Support python script file executable. (#1807)
+* Fix PEX scrubbing to account for sys.excepthook. (#1810)
+* Simplify `PEX` teardown / leave stderr in tact. (#1813)
+* Surface pip download logging. (#1808)
+* Use pip download instead or URLFetcher. (#1811)
+
+## 2.1.92
+
+This release adds support for locking local projects.
+
+* Add support for local project locking. #1792
+
+## 2.1.91
+
+This release fixes `--sh-boot` mode PEXes to have an argv0 and exported
+`PEX` environment variable consistent with standard Python boot PEXes;
+namely the absolute path of the originally invoked PEX.
+
+* Fix `--sh-boot` argv0. (#1785)
+
+## 2.1.90
+
+This release fixes Pex handling of sdists to be atomic and also fixes
+lock files to be emitted ending with a newline. In addition, many typos
+in Pex documentation were fixed in a contribution by Kian-Meng Ang.
+
+* Ensure Pip cache operations are atomic. (#1778)
+* Ensure that lockfiles end in newlines. (#1774)
+* Fix typos (#1773)
+
+## 2.1.89
+
+This release brings official support for CPython 3.11 and PyPy 3.9 as
+well as long needed robust runtime interpreter selection.
+
+* Select PEX runtime interpreter robustly. (#1770)
+* Upgrade PyPy checking to latest. (#1767)
+* Add 3.11 support. (#1766)
+
+## 2.1.88
+
+This release is a hotfix for 2.1.86 that handles unparseable `~/.netrc`
+files gracefully.
+
+* Just warn when `~/.netrc` can't be loaded. (#1763)
+
+## 2.1.87
+
+This release fixes `pex3 lock create` to handle relative `--tmpdir`.
+
+* Fix lock save detection to be more robust. (#1760)
+
+## 2.1.86
+
+This release fixes an oversight in lock file use against secured custom
+indexes and find links repos. Previously credentials were passed during
+the lock creation process via either `~/.netrc` or via embedded
+credentials in the custom indexes and find links URLs Pex was configured
+with. But, at lock use time, these credentials were not used. Now
+`~/.netrc` entries are always used and embedded credentials passed via
+custom URLS at lock creation time can be passed in the same manner at
+lock use time.
+
+* Support credentials in URLFetcher. (#1754)
+
+## 2.1.85
+
+This PyCon US 2022 release brings full support for Python interpreter
+emulation when a PEX is run in interpreter mode (without an entry point
+or else when forced via `PEX_INTERPRETER=1`).
+
+A special thank you to Loren Arthur for contributing the fix in the
+Pantsbuild sprint at PyCon.
+
+* PEX interpreters should support all underlying Python interpreter
+    options. (#1745)
+
+## 2.1.84
+
+This release fixes a bug creating a PEX from a `--lock` when pre-release
+versions are involved.
+
+* Fix `--lock` handling of pre-release versions. (#1742)
+
+## 2.1.83
+
+This releases fixes a bug creating `--style universal` locks with
+`--interpreter-constraint` configured when the ambient interpreter does
+not match the constraints and the resolved lock includes sdist primary
+artifacts.
+
+* Fix universal lock creation for ICs. (#1738)
+
+## 2.1.82
+
+This is a hotfix release for a regression in prerelease version handling
+introduced in the 2.1.81 release by #1727.
+
+* Fix prerelease handling when checking resolves. (#1732)
+
+## 2.1.81
+
+This release brings a fix to Pex resolve checking for distributions
+built by setuptools whose `Requires-Dist` metadata does not match a
+distibutions project name exactly (i.e.: no PEP-503 `[._-]`
+normalization was performed).
+
+* Fix Pex resolve checking. (#1727)
+
+## 2.1.80
+
+This release brings another fix for pathologically slow cases of lock
+creation as well as a new `--sh-boot` feature for creating PEXes that
+boot via `/bin/sh` for more resilience across systems with differing
+Python installations as well as offering lower boot latency.
+
+* Support booting via `/bin/sh` with `--sh-boot`. (#1721)
+* Fix more pathologic lock creation slowness. (#1723)
+
+## 2.1.79
+
+This release fixes `--lock` resolving for certain cases where extras are
+involved as well as introducing support for generating and consuming
+portable `--find-links` locks using `-path-mapping`.
+
+* Fix `--lock` resolver extras handling. (#1719)
+* Support canonicalizing absolute paths in locks. (#1716)
+
+## 2.1.78
+
+This release fixes missing artifacts in non-`strict` locks.
+
+* Don't clear lock link database during analysis. (#1712)
+
+## 2.1.77
+
+This release fixes pathologically slow cases of lock creation as well as
+introducing support for `--no-compression` to allow picking the
+time-space tradeoff you want for your PEX zips.
+
+* Fix pathologic lock creation slowness. (#1707)
+* Support uncompressed PEXes. (#1705)
+
+## 2.1.76
+
+This release finalizes spurious deadlock handling in `--lock` resolves
+worked around in #1694 in Pex 2.1.75.
+
+* Fix lock_resolver to use BSD file locks. (#1702)
+
+## 2.1.75
+
+This release fixes a deadlock when building PEXes in parallel via the
+new `--lock` flag.
+
+* Avoid deadlock error when run in parallel. (#1694)
+
+## 2.1.74
+
+This release fixes multiplatform `--lock` resolves for sdists that are
+built to multiple platform specific wheels, and it also introduces
+support for VCS requirements in locks.
+
+* Add support for locking VCS requirements. (#1687)
+* Fix `--lock` for multiplatform via sdists. (#1689)
+
+## 2.1.73
+
+This is a hotfix for various PEX issues:
+
+1.  `--requirements-pex` handling was broken by #1661 in the 2.1.71
+    release and is now fixed.
+2.  Creating `universal` locks now works using any interpreter when the
+    resolver version is the `pip-2020-resolver`.
+3.  Building PEXes with `--lock` resolves that contain wheels with build
+    tags in their names now works.
+
+* Fix `--requirements-pex`. (#1684)
+* Fix universal locks for the `pip-2020-resolver`. (#1682)
+* Fix `--lock` resolve wheel tag parsing. (#1678)
+
+## 2.1.72
+
+This release fixes an old bug with `--venv` PEXes initially executed
+with either `PEX_MODULE` or `PEX_SCRIPT` active in the environment.
+
+* Fix venv creation to ignore ambient PEX env vars. (#1669)
+
+## 2.1.71
+
+This release fixes the instability introduced in 2.1.68 by switching to
+a more robust means of determining venv layouts. Along the way it
+upgrades Pex internals to cache all artifacts with strong hashes (
+previously sha1 was used). It's strongly recommended to upgrade or use
+the exclude `!=2.1.68,!=2.1.69,!=2.1.70` when depending on an open-ended
+Pex version range.
+
+* Switch Pex installed wheels to `--prefix` scheme. (#1661)
+
+## 2.1.70
+
+This is another hotfix release for 2.1.68 that fixes a bug in `*.data/*`
+file handling for installed wheels which is outlined in [PEP
+427](https://peps.python.org/pep-0427/#installing-a-wheel-distribution-1-0-py32-none-any-whl)
+
+* Handle `*.data/*` RECORD entries not existing. (#1644)
+
+## 2.1.69
+
+This is a hotfix release for a regression introduced in 2.1.68 for a
+narrow class of `--venv` `--no-venv-site-packages-copies` mode PEXes
+with special contents on the `PEX_PATH`.
+
+* Fix venv creation for duplicate symlinked dists. (#1639)
+
+## 2.1.68
+
+This release brings a fix for installation of additional data files in
+PEX venvs (More on additional data files
+[here](https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/deprecated/distutils/setupscript.html?highlight=data_files#installing-additional-files))
+as well as a new venv install `--scope` that can be used to create fully
+optimized container images with PEXed applications (See how to use this
+feature
+[here](https://docs.pex-tool.org/recipes.html#pex-app-in-a-container)).
+
+* Support splitting venv creation into deps & srcs. (#1634)
+* Fix handling of data files when creating venvs. (#1632)
+
+## 2.1.67
+
+This release brings support for `--platform` arguments with a
+3-component PYVER portion. This supports working around
+`python_full_version` environment marker evaluation failures for
+`--platform` resolves by changing, for example, a platform of
+`linux_x86_64-cp-38-cp38` to `linux_x86_64-cp-3.8.10-cp38`. This is
+likely a simpler way to work around these issues than using the
+`--complete-platform` facility introduced in 2.1.66 by #1609.
+
+* Expand `--platform` syntax: support full versions. (#1614)
+
+## 2.1.66
+
+This release brings a new `--complete-platform` Pex CLI option that can
+be used instead of `--platform` when more detailed foreign platform
+specification is needed to satisfy a resolve (most commonly, when
+`python_full_version` environment markers are in-play). This, paired
+with the new `pex3 interpreter inspect` command that can be used to
+generate complete platform data on the foreign platform machine being
+targeted, should allow all foreign platform PEX builds to succeed
+exactly as they would if run on that foreign platform as long as
+pre-built wheels are available for that foreign platform.
+
+Additionally, PEXes now know how to set a usable process name when the
+PEX contains the `setproctitle` distribution. See
+[here](https://docs.pex-tool.org/recipes.html#long-running-pex-applications-and-daemons)
+for more information.
+
+* Add support for `--complete-platform`. (#1609)
+* Introduce `pex3 interpreter inspect`. (#1607)
+* Use setproctitle to sanitize `ps` info. (#1605)
+* Respect `PEX_ROOT` in `PEXEnvironment.mount`. (#1599)
+
+## 2.1.65
+
+This release really brings support for mac universal2 wheels. The fix
+provided by 2.1.64 was partial; universal2 wheels could be resolved at
+build time, but not at runtime.
+
+* Upgrade vendored packaging to 20.9. (#1591)
+
+## 2.1.64
+
+This release brings support for mac universal2 wheels.
+
+* Update vendored Pip to 386a54f0. (#1589)
+
+## 2.1.63
+
+This release fixes spurious collision warnings & errors when building
+venvs from PEXes that contain multiple distributions contributing to the
+same namespace package.
+
+* Allow for duplicate files in venv population. (#1572)
+
+## 2.1.62
+
+This release exposes three Pip options as Pex options to allow building
+PEXes for more of the Python distribution ecosystem:
+
+1.  `--prefer-binary`: To prefer older wheels to newer sdists in a
+    resolve which can help avoid problematic builds.
+2.  `--[no]-use-pep517`: To control how sdists are built: always using
+    PEP-517, always using setup.py or the default, always using
+    whichever is appropriate.
+3.  `--no-build-isolation`: To allow distributions installed in the
+    environment to be seen during builds of sdists. This allows working
+    around distributions with undeclared build dependencies by
+    pre-installing them in the environment before running Pex.
+
+* Expose more Pip options. (#1561)
+
+## 2.1.61
+
+This release fixes a regression in Pex `--venv` mode compatibility with
+distributions that are members of a namespace package that was
+introduced by #1532 in the 2.1.57 release.
+
+* Merge packages for `--venv-site-packages-copies`. (#1557)
+
+## 2.1.60
+
+This release fixes a bug that prevented creating PEXes when duplicate
+compatible requirements were specified using the pip-2020-resolver.
+
+* Fix Pex to be duplicate requirement agnostic. (#1551)
+
+## 2.1.59
+
+This release adds the boolean option `--venv-site-packages-copies` to
+control whether `--venv` execution mode PEXes create their venv with
+copies (hardlinks when possible) or symlinks. It also fixes a bug that
+prevented Python 3.10 interpreters from being discovered when
+`--interpreter-constraint` was used.
+
+* Add knob for `--venv` site-packages symlinking. (#1543)
+* Fix Pex to identify Python 3.10 interpreters. (#1545)
+
+## 2.1.58
+
+This release fixes a bug handling relative `--cert` paths.
+
+* Always pass absolute cert path to Pip. (#1538)
+
+## 2.1.57
+
+This release brings a few performance improvements and a new
+`venv` pex-tools `--remove` feature that is useful for
+creating optimized container images from PEX files.
+
+* Do not re-hash installed wheels. (#1534)
+* Improve space efficiency of `--venv` mode. (#1532)
+* Add venv `--remove {pex,all}` option. (#1525)
+
+## 2.1.56
+
+* Fix wheel install hermeticity. (#1521)
+
+## 2.1.55
+
+This release brings official support for Python 3.10 as well as fixing
+<https://docs.pex-tool.org> doc generation and fixing help for
+`pex-tools` / `PEX_TOOLS=1 ./my.pex` pex tools invocations that have too
+few arguments.
+
+* Add official support for Python 3.10 (#1512)
+* Always register global options. (#1511)
+* Fix RTD generation by pinning docutils low. (#1509)
+
+## 2.1.54
+
+This release fixes a bug in `--venv` creation that could mask deeper
+errors populating PEX venvs.
+
+* Fix `--venv` mode short link creation. (#1505)
+
+## 2.1.53
+
+This release fixes a bug identifying certain interpreters on macOS
+Monterey.
+
+Additionally, Pex has two new features:
+
+1.  It now exposes the `PEX` environment variable inside running PEXes
+    to allow application code to both detect it's running from a PEX
+    and determine where that PEX is located.
+2.  It now supports a `--prompt` option in the `venv` tool to allow for
+    customization of the venv activation prompt.
+
+* Guard against fake interpreters. (#1500)
+* Add support for setting custom venv prompts. (#1499)
+* Introduce the `PEX` env var. (#1495)
+
+## 2.1.52
+
+This release makes a wider array of distributions resolvable for
+`--platform` resolves by inferring the `platform_machine` environment
+marker corresponding to the requested `--platform`.
+
+* Populate `platform_machine` in `--platform` resolve. (#1489)
+
+## 2.1.51
+
+This release fixes both PEX creation and `--venv` creation to handle
+distributions that contain scripts with non-ascii characters in them
+when running in environments with a default encoding that does not
+contain those characters under PyPy3, Python 3.5 and Python 3.6.
+
+* Fix non-ascii script shebang re-writing. (#1480)
+
+## 2.1.50
+
+This is another hotfix of the 2.1.48 release's `--layout` feature that
+fixes identification of `--layout zipapp` PEXes that have had their
+execute mode bit turned off. A notable example is the Pex PEX when
+downloaded from <https://github.com/pex-tool/pex/releases>.
+
+* Fix zipapp layout identification. (#1448)
+
+## 2.1.49
+
+This is a hotfix release that fixes the new `--layout {zipapp,packed}`
+modes for PEX files with no user code & just third party dependencies
+when executed against a `$PEX_ROOT` where similar PEXes built with the
+old `--not-zip-safe` option were run in the past.
+
+* Avoid re-using old ~/.pex/code/ caches. (#1444)
+
+## 2.1.48
+
+This releases introduces the `--layout` flag for selecting amongst the
+traditional zipapp layout as a single PEX zip file and two new directory
+tree based formats that may be useful for more sophisticated deployment
+scenarios.
+
+The `--unzip` / `PEX_UNZIP` toggles for PEX runtime execution are now
+the default and deprecated as explicit options as a result. You can
+still select the venv runtime execution mode via the `--venv` /
+`PEX_VENV` toggles though.
+
+* Remove zipapp execution mode & introduce `--layout`. (#1438)
+
+## 2.1.47
+
+This is a hotfix release that fixes a regression for `--venv` mode PEXes
+introduced in #1410. These PEXes were not creating new venvs when the
+PEX was unconstrained and executed with any other interpreter than the
+interpreter the venv was first created with.
+
+* Fix `--venv` mode venv dir hash. (#1428)
+* Clarify PEX_PYTHON & PEX_PYTHON_PATH interaction. (#1427)
+
+## 2.1.46
+
+This release improves PEX file build reproducibility and requirement
+parsing of environment markers in Pip's proprietary URL format.
+
+Also, the `-c` / `--script` / `--console-script` argument now supports
+non-Python distribution scripts.
+
+Finally, new contributor @blag improved the README.
+
+* Fix Pip proprietary URL env marker handling. (#1417)
+* Un-reify installed wheel script shebangs. (#1410)
+* Support deterministic repository extract tool. (#1411)
+* Improve examples and add example subsection titles (#1409)
+* support any scripts specified in `setup(scripts=...)`
+    from setup.py. (#1381)
+
+## 2.1.45
+
+This is a hotfix release that fixes the `--bdist-all` handling in the
+`bdist_pex` distutils command that regressed in 2.1.43 to only create a
+bdist for the first discovered entry point.
+
+* Fix `--bdist-all` handling multiple console_scripts (#1396)
+
+## 2.1.44
+
+This is a hotfix release that fixes env var collisions (introduced in
+the Pex 2.1.43 release by #1367) that could occur when invoking Pex with
+environment variables like `PEX_ROOT` defined.
+
+* Fix Pip handling of internal env vars. (#1388)
+
+## 2.1.43
+
+* Fix dist-info metadata discovery. (#1376)
+* Fix `--platform` resolve handling of env markers. (#1367)
+* Fix `--no-manylinux`. (#1365)
+* Allow `--platform` resolves for current interpreter. (#1364)
+* Do not suppress pex output in bdist_pex (#1358)
+* Warn for PEX env vars unsupported by venv. (#1354)
+* Fix execution modes. (#1353)
+* Fix Pex emitting warnings about its Pip PEX venv. (#1351)
+* Support more verbose output for interpreter info. (#1347)
+* Fix typo in recipes.rst (#1342)
+
+## 2.1.42
+
+This release brings a bugfix for macOS interpreters when the
+MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET sysconfig variable is numeric as well as a
+fix that improves Pip execution environment isolation.
+
+* Fix MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET handling. (#1338)
+* Better isolate Pip. (#1339)
+
+## 2.1.41
+
+This release brings a hotfix from @kaos for interpreter identification
+on macOS 11.
+
+* Update interpreter.py (#1332)
+
+## 2.1.40
+
+This release brings proper support for pyenv shim interpreter
+identification as well as a bug fix for venv mode.
+
+* Fix Pex venv mode to respect `--strip-pex-env`. (#1329)
+* Fix pyenv shim identification. (#1325)
+
+## 2.1.39
+
+A hotfix that fixes a bug present since 2.1.25 that results in infinite
+recursion in PEX runtime resolves when handling dependency cycles.
+
+* Guard against cyclic dependency graphs. (#1317)
+
+## 2.1.38
+
+A hotfix that finishes work started in 2.1.37 by #1304 to align Pip
+based resolve results with `--pex-repository` based resolve results for
+requirements with '.' in their names as allowed by PEP-503.
+
+* Fix PEX direct requirements metadata. (#1312)
+

+
+This release brings a fix for building sdists with certain macOS
+interpreters when creating a PEX file that would then fail to resolve on
+PEX startup.
+
+* Add support for `--seed verbose`. (#1299)
+* Fix bytecode compilation race in PEXBuilder.build. (#1298)
+* Fix wheel building for certain macOS system interpreters. (#1296)
+
+## 2.1.35
+
+This release hardens a few aspects of `--venv` mode PEXes.
+An infinite re-exec loop in venv `pex` scripts is fixed and
+the `activate` family of scripts in the venv is fixed.
+
+* Improve resolve error information. (#1287)
+* Ensure venv pex does not enter a re-exec loop. (#1286)
+* Expose Pex tools via a pex-tools console script. (#1279)
+* Fix auto-created `--venv` core scripts. (#1278)
+
+## 2.1.34
+
+Beyond bugfixes for a few important edge cases, this release includes
+new support for @argfiles on the command line from @jjhelmus. These
+can be useful to overcome command line length limitations. See:
+<https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html#fromfile-prefix-chars>.
+
+* Allow cli arguments to be specified in a file (#1273)
+* Fix module entrypoints. (#1274)
+* Guard against concurrent re-imports. (#1270)
+* Ensure Pip logs to stderr. (#1268)
+
+## 2.1.33
+
+* Support console scripts found in the PEX_PATH. (#1265)
+* Fix Requires metadata handling. (#1262)
+* Fix PEX file reproducibility. (#1259)
+* Fix venv script shebang rewriting. (#1260)
+* Introduce the repository PEX_TOOL. (#1256)
+
+## 2.1.32
+
+This is a hotfix release that fixes `--venv` mode shebangs being too
+long for some Linux environments.
+
+* Guard against too long `--venv` mode shebangs. (#1254)
+
+## 2.1.31
+
+This release primarily hardens Pex venvs fixing several bugs.
+
+* Fix Pex isolation. (#1250)
+* Support pre-compiling a venv. (#1246)
+* Support venv relocation. (#1247)
+* Fix `--runtime-pex-root` leak in pex bootstrap. (#1244)
+* Support venvs that can outlive their base python. (#1245)
+* Harden Pex interpreter identification. (#1248)
+* The `pex` venv script handles entrypoints like PEX.
+    (#1242)
+* Ensure PEX files aren't symlinked in venv. (#1240)
+* Fix venv pex script for use with multiprocessing. (#1238)
+
+## 2.1.30
+
+This release fixes another bug in `--venv` mode when PEX_PATH is
+exported in the environment.
+
+* Fix `--venv` mode to respect PEX_PATH. (#1227)
+
+## 2.1.29
+
+This release fixes bugs in `--unzip` and `--venv` mode PEX file
+execution and upgrades to the last release of Pip to support Python 2.7.
+
+* Fix PyPy3 `--venv` mode. (#1221)
+* Make `PexInfo.pex_hash` calculation more robust. (#1219)
+* Upgrade to Pip 20.3.4 patched. (#1205)
+
+## 2.1.28
+
+This is another hotfix release to fix incorrect resolve post-processing
+failing otherwise correct resolves.
+
+* Pex resolver fails to evaluate markers when post-processing resolves
+    to identify which dists satisfy direct requirements. (#1196)
+
+## 2.1.27
+
+This is another hotfix release to fix a regression in Pex
+`--sources-directory` handling of relative paths.
+
+* Support relative paths in `Chroot.symlink`. (#1194)
+
+## 2.1.26
+
+This is a hotfix release that fixes requirement parsing when there is a
+local file in the CWD with the same name as the project name of a remote
+requirement to be resolved.
+
+* Requirement parsing handles local non-dist files. (#1190)
+
+## 2.1.25
+
+This release brings support for a `--venv` execution mode to complement
+`--unzip` and standard unadorned PEX zip file execution modes. The
+`--venv` execution mode will first install the PEX file into a virtual
+environment under `${PEX_ROOT}/venvs` and then re-execute itself from
+there. This mode of execution allows you to ship your PEXed application
+as a single zipfile that automatically installs itself in a venv and
+runs from there to eliminate all PEX startup overhead on subsequent runs
+and work like a "normal" application.
+
+There is also support for a new resolution mode when building PEX files
+that allows you to use the results of a previous resolve by specifying
+it as a `-pex-repository` to resolve from. If you have many applications
+sharing a requirements.txt / constraints.txt, this can drastically speed
+up resolves.
+
+* Improve PEX repository error for local projects. (#1184)
+* Use symlinks to add dists in the Pex CLI. (#1185)
+* Suppress `pip debug` warning. (#1183)
+* Support resolving from a PEX file repository. (#1182)
+* PEXEnvironment for a DistributionTarget. (#1178)
+* Fix plumbing of 2020-resolver to Pip. (#1180)
+* Platform can report supported_tags. (#1177)
+* Record original requirements in PEX-INFO. (#1171)
+* Tighten requirements parsing. (#1170)
+* Type BuildAndInstallRequest. (#1169)
+* Type AtomicDirectory. (#1168)
+* Type SpawnedJob. (#1167)
+* Refresh and type OrderedSet. (#1166)
+* PEXEnvironment recursive runtime resolve. (#1165)
+* Add support for `-r` / `--constraints` URL to the CLI. (#1163)
+* Surface Pip dependency conflict information. (#1162)
+* Add support for parsing extras and specifiers. (#1161)
+* Support project_name_and_version metadata. (#1160)
+* docs: fix simple typo, original -> original (#1156)
+* Support a `--venv` mode similar to `--unzip` mode. (#1153)
+* Remove redundant dep edge label info. (#1152)
+* Remove our reliance on packaging's LegacyVersion. (#1151)
+* Implement PEX_INTERPRETER special mode support. (#1149)
+* Fix PexInfo.copy. (#1148)
+
+## 2.1.24
+
+This release upgrades Pip to 20.3.3 + a patch to fix Pex resolves using
+the `pip-legacy-resolver` and `--constraints`. The Pex package is also
+fixed to install for Python 3.9.1+.
+
+* Upgrade to a patched Pip 20.3.3. (#1143)
+* Fix python requirement to include full 3.9 series. (#1142)
+
+## 2.1.23
+
+This release upgrades Pex to the latest Pip which includes support for
+the new 2020-resolver (see:
+<https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#resolver-changes-2020>) as
+well as support for macOS BigSur. Although this release defaults to the
+legacy resolver behavior, the next release will deprecate the legacy
+resolver and support for the legacy resolver will later be removed to
+allow continuing Pip upgrades going forward. To switch to the new
+resolver, use: `--resolver-version pip-2020-resolver`.
+
+* Upgrade Pex to Pip 20.3.1. (#1133)
+
+## 2.1.22
+
+This release fixes a deadlock that could be experienced when building
+PEX files in highly concurrent environments in addition to fixing
+`pex --help-variables` output.
+
+A new suite of PEX tools is now available in Pex itself and any PEXes
+built with the new `--include-tools` option. Use
+`PEX_TOOLS=1 pex --help` to find out more about the available tools and
+their usage.
+
+Finally, the long deprecated exposure of the Pex APIs through `_pex` has
+been removed. To use the Pex APIs you must include pex as a dependency
+in your PEX file.
+
+* Add a dependency graph tool. (#1132)
+* Add a venv tool. (#1128)
+* Remove long deprecated support for _pex module. (#1135)
+* Add an interpreter tool. (#1131)
+* Escape venvs unless PEX_INHERIT_PATH is requested. (#1130)
+* Improve `PythonInterpreter` venv support. (#1129)
+* Add support for PEX runtime tools & an info tool. (#1127)
+* Exclusive atomic_directory always unlocks. (#1126)
+* Fix `PythonInterpreter` binary normalization. (#1125)
+* Add a `requires_dists` function. (#1122)
+* Add an `is_exe` helper. (#1123)
+* Fix req parsing for local archives & projects. (#1121)
+* Improve PEXEnvironment constructor ergonomics. (#1120)
+* Fix `safe_open` for single element relative paths.
+    (#1118)
+* Add URLFetcher IT. (#1116)
+* Implement full featured requirement parsing. (#1114)
+* Fix `--help-variables` docs. (#1113)
+* Switch from optparse to argparse. (#1083)
+
+## 2.1.21
+
+* Fix `iter_compatible_interpreters` with `path`. (#1110)
+* Fix `Requires-Python` environment marker mapping. (#1105)
+* Fix spurious `InstalledDistribution` env markers. (#1104)
+* Deprecate `-R`/`--resources-directory`. (#1103)
+* Fix ResourceWarning for unclosed `/dev/null`. (#1102)
+* Fix runtime vendoring bytecode compilation races. (#1099)
+
+## 2.1.20
+
+This release improves interpreter discovery to prefer more recent patch
+versions, e.g. preferring Python 3.6.10 over 3.6.8.
+
+We recently regained access to the docsite, and
+<https://docs.pex-tool.org/> is now up-to-date.
+
+* Prefer more recent patch versions in interpreter discovery. (#1088)
+* Fix `--pex-python` when it's the same as the current interpreter.
+    (#1087)
+* Fix `dir_hash` vs. bytecode compilation races. (#1080)
+* Fix readthedocs doc generation. (#1081)
+
+## 2.1.19
+
+This release adds the `--python-path` option, which allows controlling
+the interpreter search paths when building a PEX.
+
+The release also removes `--use-first-matching-interpreter`, which was a
+misfeature. If you want to use fewer interpreters when building a PEX,
+use more precise values for `--interpreter-constraint` and/or
+`--python-path`, or use `--python` or `--platform`.
+
+* Add `--python-path` to change interpreter search paths when building
+    a PEX. (#1077)
+* Remove `--use-first-matching-interpreter` misfeature. (#1076)
+* Encapsulate `--inherit-path` handling. (#1072)
+
+## 2.1.18
+
+This release brings official support for Python 3.9 and adds a new
+`--tmpdir` option to explicitly control the TMPDIR used by Pex and its
+subprocesses. The latter is useful when building PEXes in
+space-constrained environments in the face of large distributions.
+
+The release also fixes `--cert` and `--client-cert` so that they work
+with PEP-518 builds in addition to fixing bytecode compilation races in
+highly parallel environments.
+
+* Add a `--tmpdir` option to the Pex CLI. (#1068)
+* Honor `sys.executable` unless macOS Framework. (#1065)
+* Add Python 3.9 support. (#1064)
+* Fix handling of `--cert` and `--client-cert`. (#1063)
+* Add atomic_directory exclusive mode. (#1062)
+* Fix `--cert` for PEP-518 builds. (#1060)
+
+## 2.1.17
+
+This release fixes a bug in `--resolve-local-platforms` handling that
+made it unusable in 2.1.16 (#1043) as well as fixing a long-standing
+file handle leak (#1050) and a bug when running under macOS framework
+builds of Python (#1009).
+
+* Fix `--unzip` performance regression. (#1056)
+* Fix resource leak in Pex self-isolation. (#1052)
+* Fix use of `iter_compatible_interpreters`. (#1048)
+* Do not rely on `sys.executable` being accurate. (#1049)
+* slightly demystify the relationship between platforms and
+    interpreters in the library API and CLI (#1047)
+* Path filter for PythonInterpreter.iter_candidates. (#1046)
+* Add type hints to `util.py` and `tracer.py`
+* Add type hints to variables.py and platforms.py (#1042)
+* Add type hints to the remaining tests (#1040)
+* Add type hints to most tests (#1036)
+* Use MyPy via type comments (#1032)
+
+## 2.1.16
+
+This release fixes a bug in `sys.path` scrubbing / hermeticity (#1025)
+and a bug in the `-D / --sources-directory` and
+`-R / --resources-directory` options whereby PEP-420 implicit
+(namespace) packages were not respected (#1021).
+
+* Improve UnsatisfiableInterpreterConstraintsError. (#1028)
+* Scrub direct `sys.path` manipulations by .pth files. (#1026)
+* PEX zips now contain directory entries. (#1022)
+* Fix UnsatisfiableInterpreterConstraintsError. (#1024)
+
+## 2.1.15
+
+A patch release to fix an issue with the
+`--use-first-matching-interpreter` flag.
+
+* Fix `--use-first-matching-interpreter` at runtime. (#1014)
+
+## 2.1.14
+
+This release adds the `--use-first-matching-interpreter` flag, which can
+speed up performance when building a Pex at the expense of being
+compatible with fewer interpreters at runtime.
+
+* Add `--use-first-matching-interpreter`. (#1008)
+* Autoformat with Black. (#1006)
+
+## 2.1.13
+
+The focus of this release is better support of the `--platform` CLI arg.
+Platforms are now better documented and can optionally be resolved to
+local interpreters when possible via `--resolve-local-platforms` to
+better support creation of multiplatform PEXes.
+
+* Add support for resolving `--platform` locally. (#1000)
+* Improve `--platform` help. (#1002)
+* Improve and fix `--platform` help. (#1001)
+* Ensure pip download dir is uncontended. (#998)
+
+## 2.1.12
+
+A patch release to deploy the PEX_EXTRA_SYS_PATH feature.
+
+* A PEX_EXTRA_SYS_PATH runtime variable. (#989)
+* Fix typos (#986)
+* Update link to avoid a redirect (#982)
+
+## 2.1.11
+
+A patch release to fix a symlink issue in remote execution environments.
+
+* use relative paths within wheel cache (#979)
+* Fix Tox not finding Python 3.8 on OSX. (#976)
+
+## 2.1.10
+
+This release focuses on the resolver API and resolution performance. Pex
+2 resolving using Pip is now at least at performance parity with Pex 1
+in all studied cases and most often is 5% to 10% faster.
+
+As part of the resolution performance work, Pip networking configuration
+is now exposed via Pex CLI options and the `NetworkConfiguration` API
+type / new `resolver.resolve` API parameter.
+
+With network configuration now wired up, the `PEX_HTTP_RETRIES` and
+`PEX_HTTP_TIMEOUT` env var support in Pex 1 that was never wired into
+Pex 2 is now dropped in favor of passing `--retries` and `--timeout` via
+the CLI (See: #94)
+
+* Expose Pip network configuration. (#974)
+* Restore handling for bad wheel filenames to `.can_add()` (#973)
+* Fix wheel filename parsing in PEXEnvironment.can_add (#965)
+* Split Pex resolve API. (#970)
+* Add a `--local` mode for packaging the Pex PEX. (#971)
+* Constrain the virtualenv version used by tox. (#968)
+* Improve Pex packaging. (#961)
+* Make the interpreter cache deterministic. (#960)
+* Fix deprecation warning for `rU` mode (#956)
+* Fix runtime resolve error message generation. (#955)
+* Kill dead code. (#954)
+
+## 2.1.9
+
+This release introduces the ability to copy requirements from an
+existing PEX into a new one.
+
+This can greatly speed up repeatedly creating a PEX when no requirements
+have changed. A build tool (such as Pants) can create a "requirements
+PEX" that contains just a static set of requirements, and build a final
+PEX on top of that, without having to re-run pip to resolve
+requirements.
+
+* Support for copying requirements from an existing pex. (#948)
+
+## 2.1.8
+
+This release brings enhanced performance when using the Pex CLI or API
+to resolve requirements and improved performance for many PEXed
+applications when specifying the `--unzip` option. PEXes built with
+`--unzip` will first unzip themselves into the Pex cache if not unzipped
+there already and then re-execute themselves from there. This can
+improve startup latency. Pex itself now uses this mode in our [PEX
+release](
+https://github.com/pex-tool/pex/releases/download/v2.1.8/pex).
+
+* Better support unzip mode PEXes. (#941)
+* Support an unzip toggle for PEXes. (#939)
+* Ensure the interpreter path is a file (#938)
+* Cache pip.pex. (#937)
+
+## 2.1.7
+
+This release brings more robust control of the Pex cache (PEX_ROOT).
+
+The `--cache-dir` setting is deprecated in favor of build
+time control of the cache location with `--pex-root` and
+new support for control of the cache's runtime location with
+`--runtime-pex-root` is added. As in the past, the
+`PEX_ROOT` environment variable can still be used to
+control the cache's runtime location.
+
+Unlike in the past, the [Pex PEX](
+https://github.com/pex-tool/pex/releases/download/v2.1.7/pex) we
+release can now also be controlled via the `PEX_ROOT` environment
+variable. Consult the CLI help for `--no-strip-pex-env`cto find out
+more.
+
+* Sanitize PEX_ROOT handling. (#929)
+* Fix `PEX_*` env stripping and allow turning off. (#932)
+* Remove second urllib import from compatibility (#931)
+* Adding `--runtime-pex-root` option. (#780)
+* Improve interpreter not found error messages. (#928)
+* Add detail in interpreter selection error message. (#927)
+* Respect `Requires-Python` in
+    `PEXEnvironment`. (#923)
+* Pin our tox version in CI for stability. (#924)
+
+## 2.1.6
+
+* Don't delete the root __init__.py when devendoring. (#915)
+* Remove unused Interpreter.clear_cache. (#911)
+
+## 2.1.5
+

+resolver is called via the Pex API in an environment with PYTHONPATH
+set.
+
+* readme: adding a TOC (#900)
+* Fix Pex resolver API PYTHONPATH hermeticity. (#895)

+* Convert `bdist_pex` tests to explicit cmdclass. (#897)
+
+## 2.1.3
+
+This release fixes a performance regression in which pip would
+re-tokenize `--find-links` pages unnecessarily. The parsed pages are now
+cached in a pip patch that has also been submitted upstream.
+
+* Re-vendor pip (#890)
+* Add a clear_cache() method to PythonInterpreter. (#885)
+* Error eagerly if an interpreter binary doesn't exist. (#886)

+running from a zipped pex.
+
+* Use pkg_resources when isolating a pex code chroot. (#881)
+
+## 2.1.1
+
+This release significantly improves performance and correctness of
+interpreter discovery, particularly when pyenv is involved. It also
+provides a workaround for EPERM issues when hard linking across devices,
+by falling back to copying. Resolve error checking also now accounts for
+environment markers.

+
+## 2.1.0
+
+This release restores and improves support for building and running
+multiplatform pexes. Foreign `linux*` platform builds now
+include `manylinux2014` compatible wheels by default and
+foreign CPython pexes now resolve `abi3` wheels correctly.
+In addition, error messages at both build-time and runtime related to
+resolution of dependencies are more informative.
+
+Pex 2.1.0 should be considered the first Pex 2-series release that fully
+replaces and improves upon Pex 1-series functionality.
+
+* Fix pex resolving for foreign platforms. (#835)
+* Use pypa/packaging. (#831)
+* Upgrade vendored setuptools to 42.0.2. (#832)
+* De-vendor pex just once per version. (#833)
+* Support VCS urls for vendoring. (#834)
+* Support python 3.8 in CI. (#829)
+* Fix pex resolution to respect `--ignore-errors`. (#828)
+* Kill `pkg_resources` finders monkey-patching. (#827)
+* Use flit to distribute pex. (#826)
+* Cleanup extras_require. (#825)
+
+## 2.0.3
+
+This release fixes a regression in handling explicitly requested
+`--index` or `--find-links` http (insecure) repos. In addition,
+performance of the pex 2.x resolver is brought in line with the 1.x
+resolver in all cases and improved in most cases.
+
+* Unify PEX build-time and runtime wheel caches. (#821)
+* Parallelize resolve. (#819)
+* Use the resolve cache to skip installs. (#815)
+* Implicitly trust explicitly requested repos. (#813)
+
+## 2.0.2
+
+This is a hotfix release that fixes a bug exposed when Pex was asked to
+use an interpreter with a non-canonical path as well as fixes for
+'current' platform handling in the resolver API.
+
+* Fix current platform handling. (#801)
+* Add a test of pypi index rendering. (#799)
+* Fix `iter_compatible_interpreters` path biasing. (#798)
+
+## 2.0.1
+
+This is a hotfix release that fixes a bug when specifying a custom index
+(`-i`/`--index`/`--index-url`) via the CLI.
+
+* Fix #794 issue by add missing return statement in `__str__` (#795)
+
+## 2.0.0
+
+Pex 2.0.0 is cut on the advent of a large, mostly internal change for
+typical use cases: it now uses vendored pip to perform resolves and
+wheel builds. This fixes a large number of compatibility and correctness
+bugs as well as gaining feature support from pip including handling
+manylinux2010 and manylinux2014 as well as VCS requirements and support
+for PEP-517 & PEP-518 builds.
+
+API changes to be wary of:
+
+* The egg distribution format is no longer supported.
+* The deprecated `--interpreter-cache-dir` CLI option was removed.
+* The `--cache-ttl` CLI option and `cache_ttl` resolver API argument
+    were removed.
+* The resolver API replaced `fetchers` with a list of `indexes` and a
+    list of `find_links` repos.
+* The resolver API removed (http) `context` which is now automatically
+    handled.
+* The resolver API removed `precedence` which is now pip default
+    precedence: wheels when available and not ruled out via the
+    `--no-wheel` CLI option or `use_wheel=False` API argument.
+* The `--platform` CLI option and `platform` resolver API argument now
+    must be full platform strings that include platform, implementation,
+    version and abi; e.g.: `--platform=macosx-10.13-x86_64-cp-36-m`.
+* The `--manylinux` CLI option and `use_manylinux` resolver API
+    argument were removed. Instead, to resolve manylinux wheels for a
+    foreign platform, specify the manylinux platform to target with an
+    explicit `--platform` CLI flag or `platform` resolver API argument;
+    e.g.: `--platform=manylinux2010-x86_64-cp-36-m`.
+
+In addition, Pex 2.0.0 now builds reproducible pexes by default; ie:
+
+* Python modules embedded in the pex are not pre-compiled (pass
+    `--compile` if you want this).
+* The timestamps for Pex file zip entries default to midnight on
+    January 1, 1980 (pass `--use-system-time` to change this).
+
+This finishes off the effort tracked by issue #716.
+
+Changes in this release:
+
+* Pex defaults to reproducible builds. (#791)
+* Use pip for resolving and building distributions. (#788)
+* Bias selecting the current interpreter. (#783)
+
+## 1.6.12
+
+This release adds the `--intransitive` option to support pre-resolved
+requirements lists and allows for python binaries built under Gentoo
+naming conventions.
+
+* Add an `--intransitive` option. (#775)
+* PythonInterpreter: support python binary names with single letter
+    suffixes (#769)
+
+## 1.6.11
+
+This release brings a consistency fix to requirement resolution and an
+isolation fix that scrubs all non-stdlib PYTHONPATH entries by default,
+only pre-pending or appending them to the `sys.path` if the
+corresponding `--inherit-path=(prefer|fallback)` is used.
+
+* Avoid reordering of equivalent packages from multiple fetchers
+    (#762)
+* Include `PYTHONPATH` in `--inherit-path`
+    logic. (#765)
+
+## 1.6.10
+
+This is a hotfix release for the bug detailed in #756 that was
+introduced by #752 in python 3.7 interpreters.
+
+* Guard against modules with a `__file__` of
+    `None`. (#757)
+
+## 1.6.9
+
+* Fix `sys.path` scrubbing of pex extras modules. (#752)
+* Fix pkg resource early import (#750)
+
+## 1.6.8
+
+* Fixup pex re-exec during bootstrap. (#741)
+* Fix resolution of `setup.py` project extras. (#739)
+* Tighten up namespace declaration logic. (#732)
+* Fixup import sorting. (#731)
+
+## 1.6.7
+
+We now support reproducible builds when creating a pex via `pex -o
+foo.pex`, meaning that if you were to run the command again
+with the same inputs, the two generated pexes would be byte-for-byte
+identical. To enable reproducible builds when building a pex, use the
+flags `--no-use-system-time --no-compile`, which will use
+a deterministic timestamp and not include `.pyc` files in
+the Pex.
+
+In Pex 1.7.0, we will default to reproducible builds.
+
+* add delayed pkg_resources import fix from #713, with an
+    integration test (#730)
+* Fix reproducible builds sdist test by properly requiring building
+    the wheel (#727)
+* Fix reproducible build test improperly using the -c flag and add a
+    new test for -c flag (#725)
+* Fix PexInfo requirements using a non-deterministic data structure
+    (#723)
+* Add new `--no-use-system-time` flag to use a
+    deterministic timestamp in built PEX (#722)
+* Add timeout when using requests. (#726)
+* Refactor reproducible build tests to assert that the original pex
+    command succeeded (#724)
+* Introduce new `--no-compile` flag to not include .pyc
+    in built pex due to its non-determinism (#718)
+* Document how Pex developers can run specific tests and run Pex from
+    source (#720)
+* Remove unused bdist_pex.py helper function (#719)
+* Add failing acceptance tests for reproducible Pex builds (#717)
+* Make a copy of globals() before updating it. (#715)
+* Make sure `PexInfo` is isolated from
+    `os.environ`. (#711)
+* Fix import sorting. (#712)
+* When iterating over Zipfiles, always use the Unix file separator to
+    fix a Windows issue (#638)
+* Fix pex file looses the executable permissions of binary files
+    (#703)
+
+## 1.6.6
+
+This is the first release including only a single PEX pex, which
+supports execution under all interpreters pex supports.
+
+* Fix pex bootstrap interpreter selection. (#701)
+* Switch releases to a single multi-pex. (#698)

+
+## 1.6.4

+* Add the version of pex used to build a pex to build_properties.
+    (#687)
+* Honor interpreter constraints even when PEX_PYTHON and
+    PEX_PYTHON_PATH not set (#668)
+
+## 1.6.3
+
+This release changes the behavior of the `--interpreter-constraint`
+option. Previously, interpreter constraints were ANDed, which made it
+impossible to express constraints like '>=2.7,<3' OR '>=3.6,<4';
+ie: either python 2.7 or else any python 3 release at or above 3.6. Now
+interpreter constraints are ORed, which is likely a breaking change if
+you have scripts that pass multiple interpreter constraints. To
+transition, use the native `,` AND operator in your constraint
+expression, as used in the example above.
+
+* Provide control over pex warning behavior. (#680)
+* OR interpreter constraints when multiple given (#678)
+* Pin isort version in CI (#679)
+* Honor PEX_IGNORE_RCFILES in to_python_interpreter() (#673)

+
+* Fixup PEXEnvironment extras resolution. (#617)
+* Repair unhandled AttributeError during pex bootstrapping. (#599)
+
+## 1.5.2

+well as a fix for finding scripts when building pexes from wheels with
+dashes in their distribution name.

+* Update PyPI default URL to pypi.org (#610)
+* Pex exits with correct code when using entrypoint (#605)
+* Fix *_custom_setuptools_usable ITs. (#606)

+## 1.5.1
+
+This release brings a fix to handle top-level requirements with
+environment markers, fully completing environment marker support.
+
+* Filter top-level requirements against env markers. (#592)
+
+## 1.5.0
+
+This release fixes pexes such that they fully support environment
+markers, the canonical use case being a python 2/3 pex that needs to
+conditionally load one or more python 2 backport libs when running under
+a python 2 interpreter only.
+
+* Revert "Revert "Support environment markers during pex activation.
+    (#582)""
+
+## 1.4.9
+
+This is a hotfix release for 1.4.8 that fixes a regression in
+interpreter setup that could lead to resolved distributions failing to
+build or install.
+
+* Cleanup `PexInfo` and `PythonInterpreter`.

+* More fixes for windows.
+* Fixes to get pex to work on windows.
+
+## 1.1.2
+
+* Bump setuptools & wheel version pinning.
+* Unescape html in PageParser.href_match_to_url.
+* Memoize calls to Crawler.crawl() for performance win in find-links
+    based resolution.
+
+## 1.1.1
+
+* Fix infinite recursion when `PEX_PYTHON` points at a symlink.
+* Add `/etc/pexrc` to the list of pexrc locations to check.
+* Improve error messaging for platform constrained Untranslateable
+    errors.
+
+## 1.1.0
+
+* Add support for `.pexrc` files for influencing the pex environment.
+    See the notes [here](
+    https://github.com/pex-tool/pex/blob/master/docs/buildingpex.rst#tailoring-pex-execution-at-build-time
+    ).
+* Bug fix: PEX_PROFILE_FILENAME and PEX_PROFILE_SORT were not
+    respected.
+* Adds the `bdist_pex` command to setuptools.
+* Bug fix: We did not normalize package names in `ResolvableSet`, so
+    it was possible to depend on `sphinx` and `Sphinx-1.4a0.tar.gz` and
+    get two versions build and included into the pex.
+* Adds a pex-identifying User-Agent.
+
+## 1.0.3
+
+* Bug fix: Accommodate OSX `Python` python binaries. Previously the
+    OSX python distributions shipped with OSX, XCode and available via
+    https://www.python.org/downloads/ could fail to be detected using
+    the `PythonInterpreter` class. Fixes
+* Bug fix: PEX_SCRIPT failed when the script was from a not-zip-safe
+    egg.
+* Bug fix: `sys.exit` called without arguments would cause
+    `None` to be printed on stderr since pex 1.0.1.
+
+## 1.0.2
+
+* Bug fix: PEX-INFO values were overridden by environment `Variables`
+    with default values that were not explicitly set in the environment.
+    Fixes #135.
+* Bug fix: Since
+    [69649c1](https://github.com/pex-tool/pex/commit/69649c1) we have
+    been un-patching the side effects of `sys.modules` after
+    `PEX.execute`. This takes all modules imported during the PEX
+    lifecycle and sets all their attributes to `None`. Unfortunately,
+    `sys.excepthook`, `atexit` and `__del__` may still try to operate
+    using these tainted modules, causing exceptions on interpreter
+    teardown. This reverts just the `sys` un-patching so that the
+    above-mentioned teardown hooks behave more predictably.
+
+## 1.0.1
+
+* Allow PEXBuilder to optionally copy files into the PEX environment
+    instead of hard-linking them.
+* Allow PEXBuilder to optionally skip pre-compilation of .py files into
+    .pyc files.
+* Bug fix: PEXBuilder did not respect the target interpreter when
+    compiling source to bytecode.
+* Bug fix: Fix complex resolutions when using a cache.
+
+## 1.0.0
+
+The 1.0.0 release of pex introduces a few breaking changes: `pex -r` now
+takes requirements.txt files instead of requirement specs, `pex -s` has
+now been removed since source specs are accepted as arguments, and
+`pex -p` has been removed in favor of its alias `pex -o`.
+
+The pex *command line interface* now adheres to semver insofar as
+backwards incompatible CLI changes will invoke a major version change.
+Any backwards incompatible changes to the PEX environment variable
+semantics will also result in a major version change. The pex *API*
+adheres to semver insofar as backwards incompatible API changes will
+invoke minor version changes.
+
+For users of the PEX API, it is recommended to add minor version ranges,
+e.g. `pex>=1.0,<1.1`. For users of the PEX CLI, major version ranges
+such as `pex>=1,<2` should be sufficient.
+
+* BREAKING CHANGE: Removes the `-s` option in favor of specifying
+    directories directly as arguments to the pex command line.
+* BREAKING CHANGE: `pex -r` now takes requirements.txt filenames and
+    *not* requirement specs. Requirement specs are now passed as
+    arguments to the pex tool. Use `--` to escape command line arguments
+    passed to interpreters spawned by pex.
+* Adds a number of flag aliases to be more compatible with pip command
+    lines: `--no-index`, `-f`, `--find-links`, `--index-url`,
+    `--no-use-wheel`. Removes `-p` in favor of `-o` exclusively.
+* Adds `--python-shebang` option to the pex tool in order to set the
+    `#!` shebang to an exact path.
+* Adds support for `PEX_PYTHON` environment variable which will cause
+    the pex file to re-invoke itself using the interpreter specified,
+    e.g. `PEX_PYTHON=python3.4` or
+    `PEX_PYTHON=/exact/path/to/interpreter`.
+* Adds support for `PEX_PATH` environment variable which allows
+    merging of PEX environments at runtime. This can be used to inject
+    plugins or entry_points or modules from one PEX into another
+    without explicitly building them together.
+* Consolidates documentation of `PEX_` environment variables and adds
+    the `--help-variables` option to the pex client.
+* Adds helper method to dump a package subdirectory onto disk from
+    within a zipped PEX file. This can be useful for applications that
+    know they're running within a PEX and would prefer some static
+    assets dumped to disk instead of running as an unzipped PEX file.
+* Now supports extras for static URLs and installable directories.
+* Adds `-m` and `--entry-point` alias to the existing `-e` option for
+    entry points in the pex tool to evoke the similarity to `python -m`.
+* Adds console script support via `-c/--script/--console-script` and
+    `PEX_SCRIPT`. This allows you to reference the named entry point
+    instead of the exact `module:name` pair. Also supports scripts
+    defined in the `scripts` section of setup.py.
+* Adds more debugging information when encountering unresolvable
+    requirements.
+* Bug fix: `PEX_COVERAGE` and `PEX_PROFILE` did not function correctly
+    when SystemExit was raised.
+* Bug fix: Fixes caching in the PEX tool since we don't cache the
+    source distributions of installable directories.
+
+## 0.9.0
+
+This is the last release before the 1.0.0 development branch is started.
+
+* Change the setuptools range to `>=2.2,<16` by handling EntryPoint
+    changes as well as being flexible on whether `pkg_resources` is a
+    package or a module.
+* Adds option groups to the pex tool to make the help output slightly
+    more readable.
+* Bug fix: Make `pip install pex` work better by removing
+    `extras_requires` on the `console_script` entry point.
+* New feature: Adds an interpreter cache to the `pex` tool. If the
+    user does not explicitly disable the wheel feature and attempts to
+    build a pex with wheels but does not have the wheel package
+    installed, pex will download it in order to make the feature work.
+
+## 0.8.6
+
+* Bug fix: Honor installed sys.excepthook in pex teardown.
+* Bug fix: `UrllibContext` used `replace` as a keyword argument for
+    `bytes.decode` but this only works on Python 3.
+
+## 0.8.5
+
+* Bug fix: Fixup string formatting in pex/bin/pex.py to support Python
+    2.6
+
+## 0.8.4
+
+* Performance improvement: Speed up the best-case scenario of
+    dependency resolution.
+* Bug fix: Change from `uuid4().get_hex()` to `uuid4().hex` to
+    maintain Python3 compatibility of pex.common.
+* Bug fix: Actually cache the results of translation. Previously bdist
+    translations would be created in a temporary directory even if a
+    cache location was specified.
+* Bug fix: Support all potential abi tag permutations when determining
+    platform compatibility.
+
+## 0.8.3
+
+* Performance improvement: Don't always write packages to disk if
+    they've already been cached. This can significantly speed up
+    launching PEX files with a large number of non-zip-safe
+    dependencies.
+
+## 0.8.2
+
+* Bug fix: Allow pex 0.8.x to parse pex files produced by earlier
+    versions of pex and twitter.common.python.
+* Pin pex to setuptools prior to 9.x until we have a chance to make
+    changes related to PEP440 and the change of pkg_resources.py to a
+    package.
+
+## 0.8.1
+
+* Bug fix: Fix issue where it'd be possible to `os.path.getmtime` on
+    a remote `Link` object
+
+## 0.8.0
+
+* *API change*: Decouple translation from package iteration. This
+    removes the Obtainer construct entirely, which likely means if
+    you're using PEX as a library, you will need to change your code if
+    you were doing anything nontrivial. This adds a couple new options
+    to `resolve` but simplifies the story around how to cache packages.
+* Refactor http handling in pex to allow for alternate http
+    implementations. Adds support for
+    [requests](https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests), improving both
+    performance and security. For more information, read the commit
+    notes at [91c7f32](
+    https://github.com/pex-tool/pex/commit/91c7f324085c18af714d35947b603a5f60aeb682
+    ).
+* Improvements to API documentation throughout.
+* Renamed `Tracer` to `TraceLogger` to prevent nondeterministic isort
+    ordering.
+* Refactor tox.ini to increase the number of environment combinations
+    and improve coverage.
+* Adds HTTP retry support for the RequestsContext.
+* Make pex `--version` correct.
+* Bug fix: Fix over-aggressive `sys.modules` scrubbing for namespace
+    packages. Under certain circumstances, namespace packages in
+    site-packages could conflict with packages within a PEX, causing
+    them to fail importing.
+* Bug fix: Replace uses of `os.unsetenv(...)` with
+    `del os.environ[...]`
+* Bug fix: Scrub `sys.path` and `sys.modules` based upon both supplied
+    path and realpath of files and directories. Newer versions of
+    virtualenv on Linux symlink site-packages which caused those
+    packages to not be removed from `sys.path` correctly.
+* Bug fix: The pex -s option was not correctly pulling in transitive
+    dependencies.
+* Bug fix: Adds `content` method to HTTP contexts that does HTML
+    content decoding, fixing an encoding issue only experienced when
+    using Python 3.
+
+## 0.7.0
+
+* Rename `twitter.common.python` to `pex` and split out from the
+    [twitter/commons](http://github.com/twitter/commons) repo.
+
+## 0.6.0
+
+* Change the interpretation of `-i` (and of PyPIFetcher's pypi_base)
+    to match pip's `-i`. This is useful for compatibility with devpi.
+
+## 0.5.10
+
+* Ensures that .egg/.whl distributions on disk have their mtime
+    updated even though we no longer overwrite them. This gives them a
+    new time lease against their ttl.
+
+    Without this change, once a distribution aged past the ttl it would
+    never be used again, and builds would re-create the same
+    distributions in tmpdirs over and over again.
+
+## 0.5.9
+
+* Fixes an issue where SourceTranslator would overwrite .egg/.whl
+    distributions already on disk. Instead, it should always check to see
+    if a copy already exists and reuse if there.
+
+    This ordinarily should not be a problem but the zipimporter caches
+    metadata by filename instead of stat/sha, so if the underlying
+    contents changed a runtime error would be thrown due to seemingly
+    corrupt zip file offsets.
+
+## 0.5.8
+
+* Adds `-i/--index` option to the pex tool.
+
+## 0.5.7
+
+* Adds `twitter.common.python.pex_bootstrap` `bootstrap_pex_env`
+    function in order to initialize a PEX environment from within a
+    python interpreter. (Patch contributed by @kwlzn)
+* Adds stdin=,stdout=,stderr= keyword parameters to the `PEX.run`
+    function. (Patch from @benjy)
+
+## 0.5.6
+
+* The crawler now defaults to not follow links for security reasons.
+    (Before the default behavior was to implicitly `--follow-links` for
+    all requirements.)
+
+## 0.5.5
+
+* Improves scrubbing of site-packages from PEX environments.
+
+0.5.1 - 0.5.4
+=============
+
+* Silences exceptions reported during interpreter teardown (the
+    exceptions resulting from incorrect atexit handler behavior)
+    introduced by 0.4.3
+* Adds `__hash__` to `Link` so that Packages are hashed correctly in
+    `twitter.common.python.resolver` `resolve`
+
+## 0.5.0
+
+* Adds wheel support to `twitter.common.python`
+
+## 0.4.3
+
+* Adds `twitter.common.python.finders` which are additional finders
+    for setuptools including:
+
+    - find eggs within a .zip
+    - find wheels within a directory
+    - find wheels within a .zip
+
+* Adds a new Package abstraction by refactoring Link into Link and
+    Package.
+
+* Adds support for PEP425 tagging necessary for wheel support.
+
+* Improves python environment isolation by correctly scrubbing
+    namespace packages injected into module `__path__` attributes by
+    nspkg pth files.
+
+* Adds `twitter.common.python.resolver` `resolve` method that handles
+    transitive dependency resolution better. This means that if the
+    requirement `futures==2.1.2` and an unqualified `futures>=2` is
+    pulled in transitively, our resolver will correctly resolve futures
+    2.1.2 instead of reporting a VersionConflict if any version newer
+    than 2.1.2 is available.
+
+* Factors all `twitter.common.python` test helpers into
+    `twitter.common.python.testing`
+
+* Bug fix: Fix `OrderedSet` atexit exceptions
+
+* Bug fix: Fix cross-device symlinking (patch from @benjy)
+
+* Bug fix: Raise a `RuntimeError` if we fail to write `pkg_resources`
+    into a .pex
+
+## 0.4.2
+
+* Upgrade to `setuptools>=1`
+
+## 0.4.1
+
+* `twitter.common.python` is no longer a namespace package
+
+## 0.4.0
+
+* Kill the egg distiller. We now delegate .egg generation to
+    bdist_egg.
+
+## 0.3.1
+
+* Short-circuit resolving a distribution if a local exact match is
+    found.
+* Correctly patch the global `pkg_resources` `WorkingSet` for the
+    lifetime of the Python interpreter.
+* Fixes a performance regression in setuptools `build_zipmanifest`
+    [Setuptools Issue #154](
+    https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/issue/154/build_zipmanifest-results-should-be)
+
+## 0.3.0
+
+* Plumb through the `--zip-safe`, `--always-write-cache`,
+    `--ignore-errors` and `--inherit-path` flags to the pex tool.
+* Delete the unused `PythonDirWrapper` code.
+* Split `PEXEnvironment` resolution into
+    `twitter.common.python.environment` and de-conflate
+    `WorkingSet`/`Environment` state.
+* Removes the monkeypatched zipimporter in favor of keeping all eggs
+    unzipped within PEX files. Refactors the PEX dependency cache in
+    `util.py`
+* Adds interpreter detection for Jython and PyPy.
+* Dependency translation errors should be made uniform. (Patch
+    from @johnsirois)
+* Adds `PEX_PROFILE_ENTRIES` to limit the number of entries reported
+    when `PEX_PROFILE` is enabled. (Patch from @rgs_)
+* Bug fix: Several fixes to error handling in
+    `twitter.common.python.http` (From Marc Abramowitz)
+* Bug fix: PEX should not always assume that `$PATH` was available.
+    (Patch from @jamesbroadhead)
+* Bug fix: Filename should be part of the .pex cache key or else
+    multiple identical versions will incorrectly resolve (Patch
+    from @tc)
+* Bug fix: Executed entry points shouldn't be forced to run in an
+    environment with `__future__` imports enabled. (Patch
+    from @lawson_patrick)
+* Bug fix: Detect versionless egg links and fail fast. (Patch from
+    @johnsirois.)
+* Bug fix: Handle setuptools>=2.1 correctly in the zipimport
+    monkeypatch (Patch from @johnsirois.)
+
+## 0.2.3
+
+* Bug fix: Fix handling of Fetchers with `file://` urls.
+
+## 0.2.2
+
+* Adds the pex tool as a standalone tool.
+
+## 0.2.1
+
+* Bug fix: Bootstrapped `twitter.common.python` should declare
+    `twitter.common` as a namespace package.
+
+## 0.2.0
+
+* Make `twitter.common.python` fully standalone by consolidating
+    external dependencies within `twitter.common.python.common`.
+
+## 0.1.0
+
+* Initial published version of `twitter.common.python`.
