+- specfile:
+  * remove devel from noarch
+
+- update to version 18.1:
+  * Features
+    + Allow PEP 508 URL requirements to be used as dependencies.
+    + As a security measure, pip will raise an exception when
+      installing packages from PyPI if those packages depend on
+      packages not also hosted on PyPI. In the future, PyPI will block
+      uploading packages with such external URL dependencies
+      directly. (#4187)
+    + Upgrade pyparsing to 2.2.1. (#5013)
+    + Allows dist options (–abi, –python-version, –platform,
+      –implementation) when installing with –target (#5355)
+    + Support passing svn+ssh URLs with a username to pip install
+      -e. (#5375)
+    + pip now ensures that the RECORD file is sorted when installing
+      from a wheel file. (#5525)
+    + Add support for Python 3.7. (#5561)
+    + Malformed configuration files now show helpful error messages,
+      instead of tracebacks. (#5798)
+  * Bug Fixes
+    + Checkout the correct branch when doing an editable Git
+      install. (#2037)
+    + Run self-version-check only on commands that may access the
+      index, instead of trying on every run and failing to do so due
+      to missing options. (#5433)
+    + Allow a Git ref to be installed over an existing
+      installation. (#5624)
+    + Show a better error message when a configuration option has an
+      invalid value. (#5644)
+    + Always revalidate cached simple API pages instead of blindly
+      caching them for up to 10 minutes. (#5670)
+    + Avoid caching self-version-check information when cache is
+      disabled. (#5679)
+    + Avoid traceback printing on autocomplete after flags in the
+      CLI. (#5751)
+    + Fix incorrect parsing of egg names if pip needs to guess the
+      package name. (#5819)
+  * Vendored Libraries
+    + Upgrade certifi to 2018.8.24
+    + Upgrade packaging to 18.0
+    + Add pep517 version 0.2
+    + Upgrade pytoml to 0.1.19
+    + Upgrade pkg_resources to 40.4.3 (via setuptools)
+  * Improved Documentation
+    + Fix “Requirements Files” reference in User Guide
+      (#user_guide_fix_requirements_file_ref)
+
