Release Notes/Change History
----------------------------
+0.5a12
+ * The zip-safety scanner now checks for modules that might be used with
+ ``python -m``, and marks them as unsafe for zipping, since Python 2.4 can't
+ handle ``-m`` on zipped modules.
+
+ * Updated extraction/cache mechanism for zipped resources to avoid inter-
+ process and inter-thread races during extraction. The default cache
+ location can now be set via the ``PYTHON_EGGS_CACHE`` environment variable,
+ and the default Windows cache is now a ``Python-Eggs`` subdirectory of the
+ current user's "Application Data" directory, if the ``PYTHON_EGGS_CACHE``
+ variable isn't set.
+
0.5a11
* Fix breakage of the "develop" command that was caused by the addition of
``--always-unzip`` to the ``easy_install`` command.
