tox-1.6: support for install_command, develop, py25
=============================================================
Welcome to a new release of tox, the virtualenv-based test
automation manager. This release brings some new major features:
- installer_command: you can customize the command user
for installing packages and dependencies. Thanks
Carl Meyer.
- usedevelop: you can use "develop" mode ("pip install -e")
either by configuring it in your tox.ini or through
the new "--develop" option. Thank Monty Tailor.
- python2.5: tox ships internally virtualenv-1.9.1 and can
thus run tests create virtualenvs and run tests against
python2.5 even if you have a newer virtualenv version
installed.
While tox-1.6 should otherwise be compatible to tox-1.5,
the new $HOME-isolation ($HOME is set to a temporary directory
when installing packages) might trigger problems if your
tests relied on $HOME configuration files -- which they
shouldn't if you want to repeatability. If that
causes problems, please file an issue.

have fun,

1.6 Changelog
--------------
- fix issue35: add new EXPERIMENTAL "install_command" testenv-option to
configure the installation command with options for dep/pkg install.
Thanks Carl Meyer for the PR and docs.
- fix issue91: python2.5 support by vendoring the virtualenv-1.9.1
script and forcing pip<1.4. Also the default [py25] environment
modifies the default installer_command (new config option)
to use pip without the "--pre" option which was introduced
with pip-1.4 and is now required if you want to install non-stable
releases. (tox defaults to install with "--pre" everywhere).
- during installation of dependencies HOME is now set to a pseudo
location ({envtmpdir}/pseudo-home). If an index url was specified
a .pydistutils.cfg file will be written with an index_url setting
so that packages defining ``setup_requires`` dependencies will not
silently use your HOME-directory settings or https://pypi.python.org.
- fix issue1: empty setup files are properly detected, thanks Anthon van
der Neuth
- remove toxbootstrap.py for now because it is broken.
- fix issue109 and fix issue111: multiple "-e" options are now combined
(previously the last one would win). Thanks Anthon van der Neut.
- add --result-json option to write out detailed per-venv information
into a json report file to be used by upstream tools.
- add new config options ``usedevelop`` and ``skipsdist`` as well as a
command line option ``--develop`` to install the package-under-test in
develop mode.
thanks Monty Tailor for the PR.
- always unset PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTE because newer setuptools doesn't like it
- if a HOMEDIR cannot be determined, use the toxinidir.
- refactor interpreter information detection to live in new
tox/interpreters.py file, tests in tests/test_interpreters.py.
