2.1.8

This release brings enhanced performance when using the Pex CLI or API to resolve requirements and
improved performance for many PEXed applications when specifying the --unzip option. PEXes built
with --unzip will first unzip themselves into the Pex cache if not unzipped there already and
then re-execute themselves from there. This can improve startup latency. Pex itself now uses this
mode in our PEX release.

• Better support unzip mode PEXes. (#941)
• Support an unzip toggle for PEXes. (#939)
• Ensure the interpreter path is a file (#938)
• Cache pip.pex. (#937)
