• Do not display status update environment reports when interrupted or for the final environment ran (because at the final report will be soon printed and makes the status update redundant) - by :user:`gaborbernat`. (:issue:`1909`)
• The _TOX_SHOW_THREAD environment variable can be used to print alive threads when tox exists (useful to debug when tox hangs because of some non-finished thread) and also now prints the pid of the local subprocess when reporting the outcome of a execution - by :user:`gaborbernat`. (:pull:`1915`)

  • --skip-missing-interpreters, --notest, --sdistonly, --installpkg, --develop and --skip-pkg-install CLI flags are no longer available for devenv (enforce the only sane value for these).

  By :user:`gaborbernat` (:issue:`1839`)

• Remove Jenkins override support: this feature goes against the spirit of tox - blurring the line between the CI and local runs. It also singles out a single CI provider, which opens the door for other CIs wanting similar functionality. Finally, only 54 code file examples came back on a Github search, showing this is a not widely used feature. People who still want Jenkins override support may create a tox plugin to achieve this functionality - by :user:`gaborbernat`. (:issue:`1841`)

• Cleanup local subprocess file handlers when exiting runs (fixes ResourceWarning: unclosed file errors when running with env PYTHONTRACEMALLOC=5 PYTHONDEVMODE=y under a Python built with --with-pydebug) - by :user:`gaborbernat`. (:issue:`1857`)

• Various small bugfixes:

v4.0.0a4 (2021-01-16)

• When specifying requirements/editable/constraint paths within deps escape space, unless already escaped to support running specifying transitive requirements files within deps - by :user:`gaborbernat`. (:issue:`1792`)
• When using a provisioned tox environment requesting --recreate failed with AttributeError - by :user:`gaborbernat`. (:issue:`1793`)
• Fix RequirementsFile from tox is rendered incorrectly in config command - by :user:`gaborbernat`. (:issue:`1820`)
• Fix a bug in the configuration system where referring to the same named key in another env/section causes circular dependency error - by :user:`gaborbernat`. (:pull:`1821`)

• Fixed a bug that crashed tox where calling tox with the recreate flag and when multiple environments were reusing the same package - by :user:`gaborbernat`. (:issue:`1782`)

• • Python version markers are stripped in package dependencies (after wrongfully being detected as an extra marker).
  • In packaging APIs do not set PYTHONPATH (to empty string) if backend-path is empty.
  • Fix commands parsing on Windows (do not auto-escape \ - instead users should use the new {\}, and on parsed arguments strip both ' and " quoted outcomes).
  • Allow windows paths in substitution set/default (the : character used to separate substitution arguments may also be present in paths on Windows - do not support single capital letter values as substitution arguments) - by :user:`gaborbernat`. (:pull:`1784`)

• Rework how we handle Python packaging environments:

  • the base packaging environment changed from .package to .pkg,
  • merged the sdist, wheel and dev separate packaging implementations into one, and internally dynamically pick the one that's needed,
  • the base packaging environment always uses the same Python environment as tox is installed into,
  • the base packaging environment is used to get the metadata of the project (via PEP-517) and to build sdist and dev packages,
  • for building wheels introduced a new per env configurable option wheel_build_env, if the target Python major/minor and implementation for the run tox environment and the base package tox environment matches set this to .pkg, otherwise this is .pkg-{implementation}{major}{minor},
  • internally now packaging environments can create further packaging environments they are responsible of managing,
  • updated depends to use the packaging logic,

  • Windows Python 3.6 does not contain _overlapped.ReadFileInto
  • by :user:`gaborbernat`. (:pull:`1556`)

Warning

The current tox is the second iteration of implementation. From version 0.5 all the way to 3.X we numbered the first iteration. Version 4.0.0a1 is a complete rewrite of the package, and as such this release history starts from there. The old changelog is still available in the legacy branch documentation.
