What's Changed

• python: Support modern Python project features: pyproject.toml, wheels, etc. Now, any project that can be built or installed with pip can be packaged by fpm. Previously, fpm relied on a long-deprecated features in setup.py to see a python project's metadata such as name, version, and dependencies. Fpm now uses python's package tools to identify the project's name, version, dependencies, and other information.

• deb: bug fix: when a file given with --config-files <path> copied into the package, fpm was forgetting to mark the file as being a config file in the package, aka Debian "conffiles" (#2027, #1823; Alexandr Zarubkin, Kientz Arnaud)
