* New options :option:`flit build --use-vcs` and :option:`flit
build --no-use-vcs` to enable & disable including all
committed files in the sdist. For now --use-vcs is the
default, but this is likely to change in a
future version, to bring flit build in line with standard
build frontends like python -m build
* Sdist file names, and the name of the top-level folder in an
sdist, are now normalised, in accordance with PEP 625
* A statically defined version number can now be parsed from
files called version.py, _version.py or __version__.py inside
a packge, as well as from __init__.py, so executing code is
required in fewer cases
* Fix setting the flag for regular files in zip metadata
* The timestamp embedded in the gzip wrapper for sdists now
defaults to a fixed date, so building an sdist twice on the
same machine should produce identical results, even without
any special steps.
- skip install tests for better interoperability with PEP 668

- Update to version 3.8
A project name containing hyphens is now automatically translated to use underscores for the import name (PR #566).
New option flit install --only-deps to install the dependencies of the package, but not the package itself.
Add support for recursive globbing (**) in sdist includes and excludes (PR #550).
Python’s bytecode cache files (__pycache__ folders and .pyc files) are now always excluded from sdists (PR #581).
Use tomllib in Python 3.11, rather than tomli (PR #573, PR #604).
Fix crash when unable to get a password from keyring (PR #567).
Fix including modified files in sdist when using Mercurial (PR #541).
Fix for some cases of determining whether a package supports Python 2 or not (PR #593).
Fix parsing version number from code using multiple assignments (PR #474).
Document how to use a PyPI token with FLIT_PASSWORD (PR #602).
Fix link to information about environment variables for pip (PR #576).
Link to the docs for the latest stable version in package metadata (PR #589).
Remove a mention of the toml package, which is no longer needed, from the Developing Flit page (PR #601).
The bootstrap install script for flit_core accepts a new --install-root option.
Ensure the license file is included in packages on PyPI (PR #603).

- Update to version 3.7.1
* Support for external data files such as man pages or Jupyter
extension support files (PR #510).
* Project names are now lowercase in wheel filenames and
.dist-info folder names, in line with the specifications (PR
#498).
* Improved support for bootstrapping a Python environment, e.g.
for downstream packagers (PR #511). flit_core.wheel is usable
with python -m to create wheels before the build tool is
available, and flit_core sdists also include a script to
install itself from a wheel before installer is available.
* Use newer importlib APIs, fixing some deprecation warnings (PR
#499).
* Fix building packages which need execution to get the version
number, and have a relative import in __init__.py (PR #531).

- Update to version 3.6
* flit_core now bundles the tomli TOML parser library (version
1.2.3) to avoid a circular dependency between flit_core and
tomli (:ghpull:`492`). This means flit_core now has no
dependencies except Python itself, both at build time and at
runtime, simplifying :doc:`bootstrapping <bootstrap>`.
- The above is not fully applicale to openSUSE, we debundle.
- Release notes for Version 3.5.1
* Fix development installs with flit install --symlink and
--pth-file, which were broken in 3.5.0, especially for packages
using a src folder (:ghpull:`472`).
- Release notes for Version 3.5
* You can now use Flit to distribute a module or package inside a
namespace package (as defined by PEP 420). To do this, specify
the import name of the concrete, inner module you are packaging
- e.g. name = "sphinxcontrib.foo" - either in the [project]
table, or under [tool.flit.module] if you want to use a
different name on PyPI (:ghpull:`468`).
* Flit no longer generates a setup.py file in sdists (.tar.gz
packages) by default (:ghpull:`462`). Modern packaging tools
don't need this. You can use the --setup-py flag to keep adding
it for now, but this will probably be removed at some point in
the future.
* Fixed how flit init handles authors' names with non-ASCII
characters (:ghpull:`460`).
* When flit init generates a LICENSE file, the new pyproject.toml
now references it (:ghpull:`467`).
