Release 20.0

New Year, New Release!

We’ve had >600 commits since the last release (yay?) so I’m not able to use the GitHub UI to “quickly” figure out a summary of the changes since the last tag. 😃

As usual, we need to pick our release manager first, then hand off to them to take care of the release.

Notes for the release manager:

• The release process should be significantly easier now, thanks to some automation: https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/development/release-process/#creating-a-new-release.
• If you’re on Windows, please test-drive the prepare-release and build-release commands before the actual release. I don’t have a Windows machine currently, to test things on. 😃
• If something about the automation isn’t working, mention @pradyunsg (or drop me a mail, because my GitHub notifications Inbox is a dumpster fire).

pip 20.0.2 has been released:

• Pushed commits and tags directly to pip’s master branch.
• Uploaded files to PyPI.
• Updated get-pip.py.

In case someone wasn’t looking for the past 2 hours, we had a major-ish outage. pip 20.0 was basically not-usable. pip 20.0.1 has been released with a hotfix.

#7624 improves our automation to prevent similar breakages in the future. 😃
