* There's no automatic retry for borked Sourceforge mirrors, which can easily
time out or be missing a file.

+ * Use ``urllib2`` instead of ``urllib``, to allow use of ``https:`` URLs if
+ Python includes SSL support.
+
+ * All downloads are now managed by the ``PackageIndex`` class (which is now
+ subclassable and replaceable), so that embedders can more easily override
+ download logic, give download progress reports, etc.
+
+ * The ``Installer`` class no longer handles downloading, manages a temporary
+ directory, or tracks the ``zip_ok`` option. Downloading is now handled
+ by ``PackageIndex``, and the latter two are now managed by ``main()``.
+
+ * There is a new ``setuptools.sandbox.run_setup()`` API to invoke a setup
+ script in a directory sandbox, and a new ``setuptools.archive_util`` module
+ with an ``unpack_archive()`` API. These were split out of EasyInstall to
+ allow reuse by other tools and applications.

* Added ``--scan-url`` and ``--index-url`` options, to scan download pages
and search PyPI for needed packages.
