Post's link seems to 404. This may be the correct URL: <a href="https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/changelog.html" rel="nofollow">https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/changelog.html</a>
Link is broken. Looks like it should be:
<a href="https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/changelog.html" rel="nofollow">https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/changelog.html</a><p>instead of:<p><a href="https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/changelog/" rel="nofollow">https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/changelog/</a>
This explains why chef started yelling at work 4am PST. Upgrading virtualenv via <i>pip install --upgrade virtualenv</i> would fail. This sort of broken upgrade also happened with pip itself recently and required a manual fix, package maintainers refused to revert the release.
This release is exciting, but taking a step back, it's still really disappointing how minimal and rough around the edges venv is considering how important the library ecosystem has been to Python's continued success. I really wish we had a packaging/environment tool the same quality as Rust's cargo.
