+ * Improved error message when trying to use old ways of running
+ ``easy_install``. Removed the ability to run via ``python -m`` or by
+ running ``easy_install.py``; ``easy_install`` is the command to run on all
+ supported platforms.
+
+ * Improved wrapper script generation and runtime initialization so that a
+ VersionConflict doesn't occur if you later install a competing version of a
+ needed package as the default version of that package.
+
+ * Fixed a problem parsing version numbers in ``#egg=`` links.

platforms, the scripts are installed without a file extension.
- * Using ``python -m easy_install`` is now DEPRECATED, since an
- ``easy_install`` wrapper is now available on all platforms.
+ * Using ``python -m easy_install`` or running ``easy_install.py`` is now
