Two releases bring significant modernization to PyBuilder’s packaging pipeline:
0.13.16 adds support for free-threaded Python (3.13t and 3.14t), where the GIL
is disabled. Free-threaded builds get their own venv directories (suffixed with t)
to keep ABI-incompatible packages separate. This release also fixes deprecation
warnings from the pkg_resources module.
0.13.17 migrates distribution building from the legacy
python setup.py sdist/bdist_wheel invocation to the
PEP 517 build module. This aligns PyBuilder
with the modern Python packaging ecosystem and avoids deprecation warnings from
setuptools.
See the release notes for details.
