Sourced from pip's changelog.

20.2.4 (2020-10-16)

Deprecations and Removals

• Document that certain removals can be fast tracked. (#8417)
• Document that Python versions are generally supported until PyPI usage falls below 5%. (#8927)

Features

• New resolver: Avoid accessing indexes when the installed candidate is preferred and considered good enough. (#8023)
• Improve error message friendliness when an environment has packages with corrupted metadata. (#8676)
• Cache package listings on index packages so they are guarenteed to stay stable during a pip command session. This also improves performance when a index page is accessed multiple times during the command session. (#8905)
• New resolver: Tweak resolution logic to improve user experience when user-supplied requirements conflict. (#8924)

Bug Fixes

• New resolver: Correctly respect Requires-Python metadata to reject incompatible packages in --no-deps mode. (#8758)
• New resolver: Pick up hash declarations in constraints files and use them to filter available distributions. (#8792)
• New resolver: If a package appears multiple times in user specification with different --hash options, only hashes that present in all specifications should be allowed. (#8839)

Improved Documentation

• Add ux documentation (#8807)

20.2.3 (2020-09-08)

Deprecations and Removals

• Deprecate support for Python 3.5 (#8181)

Features

• Make the setup.py install deprecation warning less noisy. We warn only when setup.py install succeeded and setup.py bdist_wheel failed, as situations where both fails are most probably irrelevant to this deprecation. (#8752)

20.2.2 (2020-08-11)

Bug Fixes

• Only attempt to use the keyring once and if it fails, don't try again. This prevents spamming users with several keyring unlock prompts when they cannot unlock or don't want to do so. (#8090)
• Fix regression that distributions in system site-packages are not correctly found when a virtual environment is configured with system-site-packages on. (#8695)
