See https://gregoryszorc.com/blog/2020/04/09/pyoxidizer-0.7/ for the blog post accompanying this release.
The over-arching theme of this release was focusing on improving PyOxidizer's compatibility with various packages. It has done so by:
- Supporting loading extension modules from standalone files.
- Reusing pre-compiled extension modules in Python binary wheels
- Better support for loading Python resources from the filesystem
- Improved handling of Python package resource files
- Initial support for package distribution metadata (
.dist-info
and.egg-info
directories) - And lots more. See the full changelog at https://pyoxidizer.readthedocs.io/en/stable/history.html
