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
we release can now also be controlled via the PEX_ROOT environment variable. Consult the CLI help
for --no-strip-pex-env to find out more.
