+* Check that the wheel cache directory is writable before we attempt to write
+  cached files to them.

+
+* Respect platlib by default on platforms that have it separated from purlib.
+
+* Upgrade packaging to 15.3.
+
+  * Normalize post-release spellings for rev/r prefixes.
+
+* Upgrade distlib to 0.2.1.

+
+  * Ensured that the executable written to shebangs is normcased.
+
+  * Changed ScriptMaker to work better under Jython.
+
+* Upgrade ipaddress to 1.0.13.
