what kind of testing would help us
out](https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8099).

On behalf of the PyPA, I am pleased to announce a beta release of pip,
pip 20.1b1 has been released.
The highlights for this release are:
* Significant speedups when building local directories, by changing
behavior to perform in-place builds, instead of copying to temporary
directories.
* Significant speedups in `pip list --outdated`, by parallelizing
network access. This is the first instance of parallel code within
pip's codebase.
* A new `pip cache` command, which makes it possible to introspect and
manage pip's cache directory.
* Better `pip freeze` for packages installed from direct URLs, enabled
by the implementation of PEP 610.
We would be grateful for all the testing that users could do, to ensure
that when pip 20.1 is released, it's as solid as we can make it.
This release also contains an alpha version of pip's next generation
resolver. It is *off by default* because it
*unstable and notready for everyday use*.
As with all pip releases, a significant amount of the work was
contributed by pip's user community. Huge thanks to all who have
contributed, whether through code, documentation, issue reports and/or
discussion. Your help keeps pip improving, and is hugely appreciated.
Specific thanks go to Mozilla (through its Mozilla Open Source Support
<https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/moss/>
Awards) <https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/moss/> and to the Chan Zuckerberg
Initiative <https://chanzuckerberg.com/eoss/> DAF, an advised fund of
Silicon Valley Community Foundation, for their support that enabled the
work on the new resolver.
