The release notes say (under "6.0"): "PROCESS Version numbers are now simply X.Y where the leading 1 has been dropped." (from https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/news.html ) I'm guessing this is to start honoring the convention (e.g. from semver) that backwards incompatible changes should only be made when the major version number is incremented. --Chris > _______________________________________________ > Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
