virtualenvwrapper 6.0.0.0a1 - A pre-release for testing
virtualenvwrapper is a set of extensions to virtualenv for creating and deleting virtual environments and otherwise managing your development workflow, making it easier to work on more than one project at a time without introducing conflicts in their dependencies.
This release was produced to test the GitHub automation for publishing to PyPI, but also includes some of the breaking changes that will appear in the final 6.0.0 release.
The last release of virtualenvwrapper was 4.8.4 in February of 2019. If you rely on virtualenvwrapper for your daily workflow, please try out this pre-release version and let us know if there are any issues by filing a ticket.
