------
0.6.29
------

* If Sphinx is installed, the `upload_docs` command now runs `build_sphinx`
  to produce uploadable documentation.
* Issue #326: `upload_docs` provided mangled auth credentials under Python 3.
* Issue #320: Fix check for "createable" in distribute_setup.py.
* Issue #305: Remove a warning that was triggered during normal operations.
* Issue #311: Print metadata in UTF-8 independent of platform.
* Issue #303: Read manifest file with UTF-8 encoding under Python 3.
* Issue #301: Allow to run tests of namespace packages when using 2to3.
* Issue #304: Prevent import loop in site.py under Python 3.3.
* Issue #283: Reenable scanning of *.pyc / *.pyo files on Python 3.3.
* Issue #299: The develop command didn't work on Python 3, when using 2to3,
  as the egg link would go to the Python 2 source. Linking to the 2to3'd code
  in build/lib makes it work, although you will have to rebuild the module
  before testing it.
* Issue #306: Even if 2to3 is used, we build in-place under Python 2.

* Issue #218: Improved documentation on behavior of `package_data` and
  `include_package_data`. Files indicated by `package_data` are now included
  in the manifest.
* `distribute_setup.py` now allows a `--download-base` argument for retrieving
  distribute from a specified location.
