v2.16.4

🛠 Update manylinux pins to upgrade from a problematic PyPy version. (#1737)

v2.16.3

• 🐛 Fix a bug when building from sdist, where relative paths to files in the package didn't work because the working directory was wrong (#1687)
• 🛠 Adds the ability to disable mounting the host filesystem in containers to /host, through the disable_host_mount suboption on CIBW_CONTAINER_ENGINE.
• 📚 A lot of docs improvements! (#1708, #1705, #1686, #1679, #1667, #1665)

v2.16.2

• 🛠 Updates CPython 3.12 version to 3.12.0, final release (#1635)
• ✨ Adds a debug option CIBW_DEBUG_KEEP_CONTAINER to stop cibuildwheel deleting build containers after the build finishes. (#1620)
• 📚 Adds support for [tool.cibuildwheel] checking by adding a schema compatible with the validate-pyproject tool (#1622, #1628, #1629)
• 🐛 Fix parsing of CIBW_CONTAINER_ENGINE and CIBW_BUILD_FRONTEND options to not break arguments on : characters (#1621)
• 🐛 Fix the evaluation order of CIBW_ENVIRONMENT and CIBW_ENVIRONMENT_PASS so that CIBW_ENVIRONMENT assignments can reference environment variables passed through from the host machine. (#1617)
• 🛠 Supports manylinux images' deferred installation of interpreters through the manylinux-interpreters tool (#1630)

v2.16.1

• 🛠 Updates the prerelease CPython 3.12 version to 3.12.0rc3 (#1625)
• 🛠 Only calls linux32 in containers when necessary (#1599)

v2.16.0

• ✨ Add the ability to pass additional flags to a build frontend through the CIBW_BUILD_FRONTEND option (#1588).
• ✨ The environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is now automatically passed through to container Linux builds (useful for reproducible builds!) (#1589)
• 🛠 Updates the prerelease CPython 3.12 version to 3.12.0rc2 (#1604)
• 🐛 Fix requires_python auto-detection from setup.py when the call to setup() is within an if __name__ == "__main__" block (#1613)
• 🐛 Fix a bug that prevented building Linux wheels in Docker on a Windows host (#1573)
• 🐛 --only can now select prerelease-pythons (#1564)
• 📚 Docs & examples updates (#1582, #1593, #1598, #1615)

v2.15.0

• 🌟 CPython 3.12 wheels are now built by default - without the CIBW_PRERELEASE_PYTHONS flag. It's time to build and upload these wheels to PyPI! This release includes CPython 3.12.0rc1, which is guaranteed to be ABI compatible with the final release. (#1565)
• ✨ Adds musllinux_1_2 support - this allows packagers to build for musl-based Linux distributions on a more recent Alpine image, and a newer musl libc. (#1561)

v2.14.1

• 🛠 Updates the prerelease CPython 3.12 version to 3.12.0b4 (#1550)

v2.14.0

• ✨ Adds support for building PyPy 3.10 wheels. (#1525)
• 🛠 Updates the prerelease CPython 3.12 version to 3.12.0b3.
• ✨ Allow the use of the {wheel} placeholder in CIBW_TEST_COMMAND (#1533)
• 📚 Docs & examples updates (#1532, #1416)
• ⚠️ Removed support for running cibuildwheel in Python 3.7. Python 3.7 is EOL. However, cibuildwheel continues to build Python 3.7 wheels for the moment. (#1175)

v2.13.1

• 🛠 Updates the prerelease CPython 3.12 version to 3.12.0b2. (#1516)
• 🛠 Adds a moving v<major>.<minor> tag for use in GitHub Actions workflow files. If you use this, you'll get the latest patch release within a minor version. Additionally, Dependabot won't send you PRs for patch releases. (#1517)

v2.13.0

• ✨ Adds CPython 3.12 support, under the prerelease flag CIBW_PRERELEASE_PYTHONS. This version of cibuildwheel uses 3.12.0b1.

  While CPython is in beta, the ABI can change, so your wheels might not be compatible with the final release. For this reason, we don't recommend distributing wheels until RC1, at which point 3.12 will be available in cibuildwheel without the flag. (#1507)

• ✨ Adds the ability to pass arguments to the container engine when the container is created, using the CIBW_CONTAINER_ENGINE option. (#1499)
