* Issue #80, #209: Eggs that are downloaded for ``setup_requires``, * Issue #80, Issue #209: Eggs that are downloaded for ``setup_requires``,
``test_requires``, etc. are now placed in a ``.eggs`` directory instead of ``test_requires``, etc. are now placed in a ``./.eggs`` directory instead of
the package root directory. This is a better place for them as it doesn't directly in the current directory. This choice of location means the files
cause later phases of setuptools to think that the package is already can be readily managed (removed, ignored). Additionally,
installed and then not install the package permanently in the environment later phases or invocations of setuptools will not detect the package as
(See #209). already installed and ignore it for permanent install (See #209).
This change is indicated as backward-incompatible as installations that
depend on the installation in the current directory will need to account for
the new location. Systems that ignore ``*.egg`` will probably need to be
adapted to ignore ``.eggs``. The files will need to be manually moved or
will be retrieved again. Most use cases will require no attention.
