    I've recently released version 0.3.5 of distlib on PyPI [1]. For newcomers, distlib is a library of packaging functionality which is intended to be
    usable as the basis for third-party packaging tools.

    The main changes in this release are as follows:

    * Fixed #161: Updated test case.

    * Fixed #164: Improved support for reproducible builds by allowing a fixed
      date/time to be inserted into created .exe files. Thanks to Somber Night for the
      patch.

    * Fixed #169: Removed usage of deprecated imp module in favour of importlib.

    * Fixed #170: Corrected implementation of ``get_required_dists()``.

    * Fixed #172: Compute ABI correctly for Python < 3.8.

    * Changed the default locator configuration.

    * Made updates in support of PEP 643 / Metadata 2.2.

    * Updated launcher executables. Thanks to Michael Bikovitsky for his help with   the launcher changes.

    * Updated to write archive path of RECORD to RECORD instead of staging path.
      Thanks to Pieter Pas for the patch.

    A more detailed change log is available at [2].

    Please try it out, and if you find any problems or have any suggestions for improvements,
    please give some feedback using the issue tracker! [3]
