-1.4.4 (?)
-=========
+1.5.0 (201?-??-??)
+==================
+
+New Features:
+
+- Added buildout:socket-timout option so that socket timeout can be configured
+  both from command line and from config files. (gotcha)
+
+- Buildout can be safely used with a system Python (or any Python with code
+  in site-packages), as long as you use the new z3c.recipe.scripts
+  recipe to generate scripts and interpreters, rather than zc.recipe.egg.
+
+  zc.recipe.egg is still a fully supported, and simpler, way of
+  generating scripts and interpreters if you are using a "clean" Python,
+  without code installed in site-packages. It keeps its previous behavior in
+  order to provide backwards compatibility.
+
+  The z3c.recipe.scripts recipe allows you to control how you use the
+  code in site-packages.  You can exclude it entirely; allow eggs in it
+  to fulfill package dependencies declared in setup.py and buildout
+  configuration; allow it to be available but not used to fulfill
+  dependencies declared in setup.py or buildout configuration; or only
+  allow certain eggs in site-packages to fulfill dependencies.
+
+- Added new function, ``zc.buildout.easy_install.sitepackage_safe_scripts``,
+  to generate scripts and interpreter.  It produces a full-featured
+  interpreter (all command-line options supported) and the ability to
+  safely let scripts include site packages, such as with a system
+  Python.  The ``z3c.recipe.scripts`` recipe uses this new function.
+
+- Improve bootstrap.
+
+  * New options let you specify where to find ez_setup.py and where to find
+    a download cache.  These options can keep bootstrap from going over the
+    network.
+
+  * Another new option lets you specify where to put generated eggs.
+
+  * The buildout script generated by bootstrap honors more of the settings
+    in the designated configuration file (e.g., buildout.cfg).
+
+- You can develop zc.buildout using Distribute instead of Setuptools.  Use
+  the --distribute option on the dev.py script.  (Releases should be tested
+  with both Distribute and Setuptools.)
+
+- The ``distribute-version`` now works in the [buildout] section, mirroring
+  the ``setuptools-version`` option (this is for consistency; using the
+  general-purpose ``versions`` option is preferred).
+
+Bugs fixed:
+
+- Using Distribute with the ``allow-picked-versions = false`` buildout
+  option no longer causes an error.
+
+- The handling and documenting of default buildout options was normalized.
+  This means, among other things, that ``bin/buildout -vv`` and
+  ``bin/buildout annotate`` correctly list more of the options.
+
+- Installing a namespace package using a Python that already has a package
+  in the same namespace (e.g., in the Python's site-packages) failed in
+  some cases.  It is now handled correctly.
 
+- Another variation of this error showed itself when at least two
+  dependencies were in a shared location like site-packages, and the
+  first one met the "versions" setting.  The first dependency would be
+  added, but subsequent dependencies from the same location (e.g.,
+  site-packages) would use the version of the package found in the
+  shared location, ignoring the version setting.  This is also now
+  handled correctly.
