    py2exe 0.6.3 released

    py2exe 0.6.3 released
    =============== ======

    py2exe is a Python distutils extension which converts Python scripts
    into executable Windows programs, able to run without requiring a
    Python installation. Console and Windows (GUI) applications, Windows
    NT services, exe and dll COM servers are supported.

    Changes in 0.6.3:

    * First release assembled by py2exe's new maintainer, Jimmy
    Retzlaff. Code changes in this release are from Thomas Heller
    and Gordon Scott.

    * The dll-excludes option is now available on the command line.
    It was only possible to specify that in the options argument to
    the setup function before.

    The dll-excludes option can now be used to filter out dlls like
    msvcr71.dll or even w9xpopen.exe.

    * Fix from Gordon Scott: py2exe crashed copying extension modules
    in packages.

    Changes in 0.6.2:

    * Several important bugfixes:

    - bundled extensions in packages did not work correctly, this
    made the wxPython single-file sample fail with newer wxPython
    versions.

    - occasionally dlls/pyds were loaded twice, with very strange
    effects.

    - the source distribution was not complete.

    - it is now possible to build a debug version of py2exe.

    Changes in 0.6.1:

    * py2exe can now bundle binary extensions and dlls into the
    library-archive or the executable itself. This allows to
    finally build real single-file executables.

    The bundled dlls and pyds are loaded at runtime by some special
    code that emulates the Windows LoadLibrary function - they are
    never unpacked to the file system.

    This part of the code is distributed under the MPL 1.1, so this
    license is now pulled in by py2exe.

    * By default py2exe now includes the codecs module and the
    encodings package.

    * Several other fixes.
