in Exemaker. So, don't use Exemaker to wrap ``easy_install.py``, or at any
rate don't expect it to work with all packages.
0.6a3
* Improved error message when trying to use old ways of running
``easy_install``. Removed the ability to run via ``python -m`` or by
running ``easy_install.py``; ``easy_install`` is the command to run on all
supported platforms.
* Improved wrapper script generation and runtime initialization so that a
VersionConflict doesn't occur if you later install a competing version of a
needed package as the default version of that package.
* Fixed a problem parsing version numbers in ``#egg=`` links.
0.6a2
* EasyInstall can now install "console_scripts" defined by packages that use
``setuptools`` and define appropriate entry points. On Windows, console
scripts get an ``.exe`` wrapper so you can just type their name. On other
platforms, the scripts are installed without a file extension.
* Using ``python -m easy_install`` is now DEPRECATED, since an
``easy_install`` wrapper is now available on all platforms.
* Using ``python -m easy_install`` or running ``easy_install.py`` is now
DEPRECATED, since an ``easy_install`` wrapper is now available on all
platforms.
0.6a1
* EasyInstall now does MD5 validation of downloads from PyPI, or from any link
