    Post's link seems to 404. This may be the correct URL: https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/changelog.html

    Link is broken. Looks like it should be: https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/changelog.html

    instead of:

    Any benefits of using this project, virtualenv is now built in in Python 3, and it never was missing anything when I was using it.

    This explains why chef started yelling at work 4am PST. Upgrading virtualenv via pip install --upgrade virtualenv would fail. This sort of broken upgrade also happened with pip itself recently and required a manual fix, package maintainers refused to revert the release.

    This isn't the most readable changelog, the main takeaway is at the bottom: The package has been completely rewritten.

    This release is exciting, but taking a step back, it's still really disappointing how minimal and rough around the edges venv is considering how important the library ecosystem has been to Python's continued success. I really wish we had a packaging/environment tool the same quality as Rust's cargo.

    I've just been using conda environments lately. How much am I missing by not using virtualenv instead?
