This PR updates PyInstaller from 3.3.1 to 5.1.

Changelog

5.1

-----------------

Bugfix
~~~~~~

* (Windows) Fix the regression causing the (relative) spec path ending up
prepended to relative icon path twice, resulting in icon not being found.
(:issue:`6788`)
* Prevent collection of an entire Python site when using
:func:`~PyInstaller.utils.hooks.collect_data_files` or
:func:`~PyInstaller.utils.hooks.collect_dynamic_libs` for single-file modules
(:issue:`6789`)
* Prevent the hook utility functions, such as
:func:`~PyInstaller.utils.hooks.collect_submodules`,
:func:`~PyInstaller.utils.hooks.collect_data_files`, and
:func:`~PyInstaller.utils.hooks.collect_dynamic_libs`, from failing to
identify a package when its PEP451-compliant loader does not implement
the optional ``is_package`` method. (:issue:`6790`)
* The :func:`~PyInstaller.utils.hooks.get_package_paths` function now
supports PEP420 namespace packages - although for backwards-compatibility
reasons, it returns only the first path when multiple paths are
present. (:issue:`6790`)
* The hook utility functions
:func:`~PyInstaller.utils.hooks.collect_submodules`,
:func:`~PyInstaller.utils.hooks.collect_data_files`, and
:func:`~PyInstaller.utils.hooks.collect_dynamic_libs`) now support
collection from PEP420 namespace packages. (:issue:`6790`)
* The user-provided spec file path and paths provided via :option:`--workpath`
and :option:`--distpath` are now resolved to absolute full paths before being
passed to PyInstaller&#x27;s internals. (:issue:`6788`)


Hooks
~~~~~

* Exclude ``doctest`` in the ``pickle`` hook. Update ``PySide2``, ``PySide6``,
``PyQt5``, and ``PyQt6`` hooks with hidden imports that were previously
pulled in by ``doctest`` (that was in turn pulled in by ``pickle``).
(:issue:`6797`)


Bootloader
~~~~~~~~~~

* (Windows) Update the bundled ``zlib`` sources to v1.2.12. (:issue:`6804`)


Bootloader build
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Building on Windows with MSVC no longer falls to bits if the PyInstaller repo
is
stored in a directory with a long path. (:issue:`6806`)

5.0.1

------------------

Bugfix
~~~~~~

* (Linux) Have ``glib`` runtime hook prepend the frozen application&#x27;s data
dir to the ``XDG_DATA_DIRS`` environment variable instead of completely
overwriting it. This should fix the case when ``xdg-open`` is used to
launch a system-installed application (for example, opening an URL in a
web browser via the ``webbrowser`` module) and no registered applications
being found. (:issue:`3668`)
* Prevent unactionable errors raised by UPX from terminating the build.
(:issue:`6757`)
* Restore the pre PyInstaller 5.0 behavior of resolving relative paths to icons
as
relative to the spec file rather than the current working directory.
(:issue:`6759`)
* (Windows) Update system DLL inclusion list to allow collection of DLLs from
Visual Studio 2012 (VC11) runtime and Visual Studio 2013 (VC12) runtime,
as well as the latest version of Visual Studio 2015/2017/2019/2022 (VC14)
runtime (14.3). (:issue:`6778`)


Hooks
~~~~~

* Refactor ``QtWebEngine`` hooks to support both pure Widget-based and
pure QML/Quick-based applications. (:issue:`6753`)
* Update PySide6 and PyQt6 hooks for compatibility with Qt 6.3. ``QtWebEngine``
on Windows and Linux does not provide the ``qt.conf`` file for the helper
executable anymore, so we generate our own version of the file in order for
``QtWebengine`` -based frozen applications to work. (:issue:`6769`)

5.0

----------------

Features
~~~~~~~~

* (macOS) App bundles built in ``onedir`` mode can now opt-in for :ref:`argv
emulation &lt;macos event forwarding and argv emulation&gt;` so that file paths
passed from the UI (`Open with...`) are reflected in :data:`sys.argv`.
(:issue:`5908`)
* (macOS) App bundles built in ``onedir`` mode can now opt-in for :ref:`argv
emulation &lt;macos event forwarding and argv emulation&gt;` so that file paths
received in initial drag &amp; drop event are reflected in :data:`sys.argv`.
(:issue:`5436`)
* (macOS) The :ref:`argv emulation &lt;macos event forwarding and argv emulation&gt;`
functionality is now available as an optional feature for app bundles
built in either ``onefile`` or ``onedir`` mode. (:issue:`6089`)
* (Windows) Embed the manifest into generated ``onedir`` executables by
default, in order to avoid potential issues when user renames the executable
(e.g., the manifest not being found anymore due to activation context
caching when user renames the executable and attempts to run it before
also renaming the manifest file). The old behavior of generating the
external manifest file in ``onedir`` mode can be re-enabled using the
:option:`--no-embed-manifest` command-line switch, or via the
``embed_manifest=False`` argument to ``EXE()`` in the .spec file.
(:issue:`6223`)
* (Wine) Prevent collection of Wine built-in DLLs (in either PE-converted or
fake/placeholder form) when building a Windows frozen application under
Wine. Display a warning for each excluded Wine built-in DLL. (:issue:`6149`)
* Add a :mod:`PyInstaller.isolated` submodule as a safer replacement to
:func:`PyInstaller.utils.hooks.exec_statement`. (:issue:`6052`)
* Improve matching of UPX exclude patterns to include OS-default case
sensitivity,
the wildcard operator (``*``), and support for parent directories in the
pattern.
Enables use of patterns like ``&quot;Qt*.dll&quot;`` and ``&quot;PySide2*.pyd&quot;``.
(:issue:`6161`)
* Make the error handing of :func:`~PyInstaller.utils.hooks.collect_submodules`
configurable. (:issue:`6052`)


Bugfix
~~~~~~

* (macOS) Fix potential loss of Apple Events during ``onefile`` app bundle
start-up, when the child process is not yet ready to receive events
forwarded by the parent process. (:issue:`6089`)
* (Windows) Remove the attempt to load the manifest of a ``onefile``
frozen executable via the activation context, which fails with *An
attempt to set the process default activation context failed because
the process default activation context was already set.* message that
can be observed in debug builds. This approach has been invalid ever
since :issue:`3746` implemented direct manifest embedding into the
``onefile`` executable. (:issue:`6203`)
* Fix an import leak when
:func:`PyInstaller.utils.hooks.get_module_file_attribute`
is called with a sub-module or a sub-package name. (:issue:`6169`)
* Fix an import leak when :func:`PyInstaller.utils.hooks.is_package`
is called with a sub-module or a sub-package name. (:issue:`6169`)
* Fix import errors when calling ``get_gi_libdir()`` during packaging of GTK
apps.
Enable CI tests of GTK by adding PyGObject dependencies for the Ubuntu
builds. (:issue:`6300`)
* Issue an error report if a `.spec` file will not be generated, but
command-line options specific to that functionality are given.
(:issue:`6660`)
* Prevent ``onefile`` cleanup from recursing into symlinked directories and
just remove the link instead. (:issue:`6074`)


Incompatible Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* (macOS) App bundles built in ``onefile`` mode do not perform
:ref:`argv emulation &lt;macos event forwarding and argv emulation&gt;` by
default anymore. The functionality of converting initial open document/URL
events into ``sys.argv`` entries must now be explicitly opted-in,
via ``argv_emulation=True`` argument to ``EXE()`` in the .spec file
or via :option:`--argv-emulation` command-line flag. (:issue:`6089`)
* (Windows) By default, manifest is now embedded into the executable in
``onedir`` mode. The old behavior of generating the external manifest
file can be re-enabled using the :option:`--no-embed-manifest`
command-line switch, or via the ``embed_manifest=False`` argument to
``EXE()`` in the .spec file. (:issue:`6223`)
* Issue an error report if a `.spec` file will not be generated, but
command-line options specific to that functionality are given.
(:issue:`6660`)
* The :func:`PyInstaller.utils.hooks.get_module_attribute` function now
returns the actual attribute value instead of its string representation.
The external users (e.g., 3rd party hooks) of this function must adjust
their handling of the return value accordingly. (:issue:`6169`)
* The ``matplotlib.backends`` hook no longer collects all available
``matplotlib`` backends, but rather tries to auto-detect the used
backend(s) by default. The old behavior can be re-enabled via the
:ref:`hook configuration option &lt;matplotlib hook options&gt;`. (:issue:`6024`)


Hooks
~~~~~

* Rework the ``matplotlib.backends`` hook to attempt performing
auto-detection of the used backend(s) instead of collecting all
available backends. Implement :ref:`hook configuration option
&lt;matplotlib hook options&gt;` that allows users to switch between
this new behavior and the old behavior of collecting all backends,
or to manually specify the backend(s) to be collected. (:issue:`6024`)


Bootloader
~~~~~~~~~~

* Change the behaviour of the ``--no-universal2`` flag so that it now assumes
the
target architecture of the compiler (which may be overridden via the ``CC``
environment variable to facilitate cross compiling). (:issue:`6096`)
* Refactor Apple Events handling code and move it into a separate source file.
(:issue:`6089`)


Documentation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Add a :ref:`new section &lt;macos event forwarding and argv emulation&gt;`
describing Apple Event forwarding behavior on macOS and the optional
`argv emulation` for macOS app bundles, along with its caveats.
(:issue:`6089`)
* Update documentation on using ``UPX``. (:issue:`6161`)


PyInstaller Core
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Drop support for Python 3.6. (:issue:`6475`)


Bootloader build
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* (Windows) Enable `Control Flow Guard
&lt;https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/secbp/control-flow-guard&gt;`_
for the Windows bootloader. (:issue:`6136`)

4.10

-----------------

Features
~~~~~~~~

* (Wine) Prevent collection of Wine built-in DLLs (in either PE-converted or
fake/placeholder form) when building a Windows frozen application under
Wine. Display a warning for each excluded Wine built-in DLL. (:issue:`6622`)


Bugfix
~~~~~~

* (Linux) Remove the timeout on ``objcopy`` operations to prevent wrongful
abortions when processing large executables on slow disks. (:issue:`6647`)
* (macOS) Limit the strict architecture validation for collected binaries to
extension modules only. Fixes architecture validation errors when a
``universal2`` package has its multi-arch extension modules&#x27; arch slices
linked against distinct single-arch thin shared libraries, as is the
case with ``scipy`` 1.8.0 macOS ``universal2`` wheel. (:issue:`6587`)
* (macOS) Remove the 60 seconds timeout for each ``codesign`` and ``lipo``
operation which caused build abortion when
processing huge binaries. (:issue:`6644`)
* (Windows) Use a made up (not ``.exe``) suffix for intermediate executable
files during the build process to prevent
antiviruses from attempting to scan the file whilst PyInstaller is still
working on it leading to a
:class:`PermissionError` at build time. (:issue:`6467`)
* Fix an attempt to collect a non-existent ``.pyc`` file when the corresponding
source ``.py`` file has ``st_mtime`` set to zero. (:issue:`6625`)


Hooks
~~~~~

* Add ``IPython`` to the list of excluded packages in the ``PIL`` hook in
order to prevent automatic collection of ``IPython`` when it is not
imported anywhere else. This in turn prevents whole ``matplotlib`` being
automatically pulled in when using  ``PIL.Image``. (:issue:`6605`)


Bootloader
~~~~~~~~~~

* Fix detection of 32-bit ``arm`` platform when Thumb instruction set is
enabled in the compiler. In this case, the ``ctx.env.DEST_CPU`` in
``waf`` build script is set to ``thumb`` instead of ``arm``. (:issue:`6532`)

4.9

----------------

Bugfix
~~~~~~

* Add support for external paths when running ``pkgutil.iter_modules``.
Add support for multiple search paths to ``pkgutil.iter_modules``.
Correctly handle ``pkgutil.iter_modules`` with an empty list.
(:issue:`6529`)
* Fix finding ``libpython3x.so`` when Python is installed with pyenv and the
python executable is not linked against ``libpython3x.so``. (:issue:`6542`)
* Fix handling of symbolic links in the path matching part of the
PyInstaller&#x27;s ``pkgutil.iter_modules`` replacement/override. (:issue:`6537`)


Hooks
~~~~~

* Add hooks for ``PySide6.QtMultimedia`` and ``PyQt6.QtMultimedia``.
(:issue:`6489`)
* Add hooks for ``QtMultimediaWidgets`` of all four supported Qt bindings
(``PySide2``, ``PySide6``, ``PyQt5``, and ``PySide6``). (:issue:`6489`)
* Add support for ``setuptools 60.7.1`` and its vendoring  of ``jaraco.text``
in ``pkg_resources``. Exit with an error message if ``setuptools 60.7.0``
is encountered due to incompatibility with PyInstaller&#x27;s loader logic.
(:issue:`6564`)
* Collect the ``QtWaylandClient``-related plugins to enable Wayland support in
the
frozen applications using any of the four supported Qt bindings (``PySide2``,
``PyQt5``, ``PySide6``, and ``PyQt6``). (:issue:`6483`)
* Fix the issue with missing ``QtMultimediaWidgets`` module when using
``PySide2.QtMultimedia`` or ``PySide6.QtMultimedia`` in combination
with PySide&#x27;s ``true_property`` `feature
&lt;https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/feature-why.html#the-true-property-feature&gt;`_.
(:issue:`6489`)

4.8

----------------

Features
~~~~~~~~

* (Windows) Set the executable&#x27;s build time in PE header to the current
time. A custom timestamp can be specified via the ``SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH``
environment variable to allow reproducible builds. (:issue:`6469`)
* Add strictly unofficial support for the `Termux
&lt;https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.termux/&gt;`_ platform. (:issue:`6484`)
* Replace the dual-process ``onedir`` mode on Linux and other Unix-like OSes
with a single-process implementation. This makes ``onedir`` mode on these
OSes comparable to Windows and macOS, where single-process ``onedir`` mode
has already been used for a while. (:issue:`6407`)


Bugfix
~~~~~~

* (macOS) Fix regression in generation of ``universal2`` executables that
caused the generated executable to fail ``codesign`` strict validation.
(:issue:`6381`)
* (Windows) Fix ``onefile`` extraction behavior when the run-time temporary
directory is set to a drive letter. The application&#x27;s temporary directory
is now created directly on the specified drive as opposed to the current
directory on the specified drive. (:issue:`6051`)
* (Windows) Fix compatibility issues with python 3.9.8 from python.org, arising
from the lack of embedded manifest in the ``python.exe`` executable.
(:issue:`6367`)
* (Windows) Fix stack overflow in `pyarmor`-protected frozen applications,
caused
by the executable&#x27;s stack being smaller than that of the python interpreter.
(:issue:`6459`)
* (Windows) Fix the ``python3.dll`` shared library not being found and
collected when using Python from MS App Store. (:issue:`6390`)
* Fix a bug that prevented traceback from uncaught exception to be
retrieved and displayed in the windowed bootloader&#x27;s error reporting
facility (uncaught exception dialog on Windows, syslog on macOS).
(:issue:`6426`)
* Fix a crash when a onefile build attempts to overwrite an existing onedir
build
on macOS or Linux (:issue:`6418`)
* Fix build errors when a linux shared library (.so) file is collected as
a binary on macOS. (:issue:`6327`)
* Fix build errors when a Windows DLL/PYD file is collected as a binary on
a non-Windows OS. (:issue:`6327`)
* Fix handling of encodings when reading the collected .py source files
via ``FrozenImporter.get_source()``. (:issue:`6143`)
* Fix hook loader function not finding hooks if path has whitespaces.
(Re-apply the fix that has been inadvertedly undone during the
codebase reformatting.) (:issue:`6080`)
* Windows: Prevent invalid handle errors when an application compiled in
:option:`--windowed` mode uses :mod:`subprocess`
without explicitly setting **stdin**, **stdout** and **stderr** to either
:data:`~subprocess.PIPE` or
:data:`~subprocess.DEVNULL`. (:issue:`6364`)


Hooks
~~~~~

* (macOS) Add support for Anaconda-installed ``PyQtWebEngine``.
(:issue:`6373`)
* Add hooks for ``PySide6.QtWebEngineWidgets`` and
``PyQt6.QtWebEngineWidgets``.
The ``QtWebEngine`` support in PyInstaller requires ``Qt6`` v6.2.2 or later,
so if an earlier version is encountered, we exit with an error instead of
producing a defunct build. (:issue:`6387`)
* Avoid collecting the whole ``QtQml`` module and its dependencies in cases
when it is not necessary (i.e., the application does not use ``QtQml`` or
``QtQuick`` modules). The unnecessary collection was triggered due to
extension modules being linked against the ``libQt5Qml`` or ``libQt6Qml``
shared library, and affected pure widget-based applications (``PySide2``
and ``PySide6`` on Linux) and widget-based applications that use
``QtWebEngineWidgets`` (``PySide2``, ``PySide6``, ``PyQt5``, and ``PyQt6``
on all OSes). (:issue:`6447`)
* Update ``numpy`` hook for compatibility with version 1.22; the hook
cannot exclude ``distutils`` and ``numpy.distutils`` anymore, as they
are required by ``numpy.testing``, which is used by some external
packages, such as ``scipy``. (:issue:`6474`)


Bootloader
~~~~~~~~~~

* (Windows) Set the bootloader executable&#x27;s stack size to 2 MB to match the
stack size of the python interpreter executable. (:issue:`6459`)
* Implement single-process ``onedir`` mode for Linux and Unix-like OSes as a
replacement for previously-used two-process implementation. The new mode
uses ``exec()`` without ``fork()`` to restart the bootloader executable
image within the same process after setting up the environment (i.e., the
``LD_LIBRARY_PATH`` and other environment variables). (:issue:`6407`)
* Lock the PKG sideload mode in the bootloader unless the executable has a
special signature embedded. (:issue:`6470`)
* When user script terminates with an uncaught exception, ensure that the
exception data obtained via ``PyErr_Fetch`` is normalized by also calling
``PyErr_NormalizeException``. Otherwise, trying to format the traceback
via ``traceback.format_exception`` fails in some circumstances, and no
traceback can be displayed in the windowed bootloader&#x27;s error report.
(:issue:`6426`)


Bootloader build
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* The bootloader can be force compiled during pip install by setting the
environment variable ``PYINSTALLER_COMPILE_BOOTLOADER``. (:issue:`6384`)

4.7

----------------

Bugfix
~~~~~~

* Fix a bug since v4.6 where certain Unix system directories were incorrectly
assumed to exist and resulted in
a :class:`FileNotFoundError`. (:issue:`6331`)


Hooks
~~~~~

* Update ``sphinx`` hook for compatibility with latest version (4.2.0).
(:issue:`6330`)


Bootloader
~~~~~~~~~~

* (Windows) Explicitly set ``NTDDI_VERSION=0x06010000`` and
``_WIN32_WINNT=0x0601`` when compiling Windows bootloaders to request
Windows 7 feature level for Windows headers. The windowed bootloader
requires at least Windows Vista feature level, and some toolchains
(e.g., mingw cross-compiler on linux) set too low level by default.
(:issue:`6338`)
* (Windows) Remove the check for the unused ``windres`` utility when compiling
with MinGW toolchain. (:issue:`6339`)
* Replace use of ``PyRun_SimpleString`` with ``PyRun_SimpleStringFlags``.
(:issue:`6332`)

4.6

-------------------------------

Features
~~~~~~~~

* Add support for Python 3.10. (:issue:`5693`)

* (Windows) Embed the manifest into generated ``onedir`` executables by
default, in order to avoid potential issues when user renames the executable
(e.g., the manifest not being found anymore due to activation context
caching when user renames the executable and attempts to run it before
also renaming the manifest file). The old behavior of generating the
external manifest file in ``onedir`` mode can be re-enabled using the
:option:`--no-embed-manifest` command-line switch, or via the
``embed_manifest=False`` argument to ``EXE()`` in the .spec file.
(:issue:`6248`)
* (Windows) Respect :pep:`239` encoding specifiers in Window&#x27;s VSVersionInfo
files. (:issue:`6259`)
* Implement basic resource reader for accessing on-filesystem resources (data
files)
via ``importlib.resources`` (python &gt;= 3.9) or ``importlib_resources``
(python &lt;= 3.8). (:issue:`5616`)
* Ship precompiled wheels for musl-based Linux distributions (such as Alpine or
OpenWRT) on ``x86_64`` and ``aarch64``. (:issue:`6245`)


Bugfix
~~~~~~

* (macOS) Ensure that executable pre-processing and post-processing steps
(target arch selection, SDK version adjustment, (re)signing) are applied in
the stand-alone PKG mode. (:issue:`6251`)
* (macOS) Robustify the macOS assembly pipeline to work around the issues with
the ``codesign`` utility on macOS 10.13 High Sierra. (:issue:`6167`)
* (Windows) Fix collection of ``sysconfig`` platform-specific data module when
using MSYS2/MINGW python. (:issue:`6118`)
* (Windows) Fix displayed script name and exception message in the
unhandled exception dialog (windowed mode) when bootloader is compiled
using the ``MinGW-w64`` toolchain. (:issue:`6199`)
* (Windows) Fix issues in ``onedir`` frozen applications when the bootloader
is compiled using a toolchain that forcibly embeds a default manifest
(e.g., the ``MinGW-w64`` toolchain from ``msys2``). The issues range from
manifest-related options (e.g., ``uac-admin``) not working to windowed frozen
application not starting at all (with the ``The procedure entry point
LoadIconMetric could not be located...`` error message). (:issue:`6196`)
* (Windows) Fix the declared length of strings in the optional embedded
product version information resource structure. The declared lengths
were twice too long, and resulted in trailing garbage characters when
the version information was read using `ctypes` and winver API.
(:issue:`6219`)
* (Windows) Remove the attempt to load the manifest of a ``onefile``
frozen executable via the activation context, which fails with ``An
attempt to set the process default activation context failed because
the process default activation context was already set.`` message that
can be observed in debug builds. This approach has been invalid ever
since :issue:`3746` implemented direct manifest embedding into the
``onefile`` executable. (:issue:`6248`)
* (Windows) Suppress missing library warnings for ``api-ms-win-core-*`` DLLs.
(:issue:`6201`)
* (Windows) Tolerate reading Windows VSVersionInfo files with unicode byte
order
marks. (:issue:`6259`)
* Fix ``sys.executable`` pointing to the external package file instead of
the executable when in package side-load mode (``pkg_append=False``).
(:issue:`6202`)
* Fix a runaway glob which caused ``ctypes.util.find_library(&quot;libfoo&quot;)`` to
non-deterministically pick any library
matching ``libfoo*`` to bundle instead of ``libfoo.so``. (:issue:`6245`)
* Fix compatibility with with MIPS and loongarch64 architectures.
(:issue:`6306`)
* Fix the ``FrozenImporter.get_source()`` to correctly handle the packages&#x27;
``__init__.py`` source  files. This in turn fixes missing-source-file
errors for packages that use ``pytorch`` JIT when the source .py files
are collected and available (for example, ``kornia``). (:issue:`6237`)
* Fix the location of the generated stand-alone pkg file when using the
side-load mode (``pkg_append=False``) in combination with ``onefile`` mode.
The package file is now placed next to the executable instead of next to
the .spec file. (:issue:`6202`)
* When generating spec files, avoid hard-coding the spec file&#x27;s location as the
``pathex`` argument to the ``Analysis``. (:issue:`6254`)


Incompatible Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* (Windows) By default, manifest is now embedded into the executable in
``onedir`` mode. The old behavior of generating the external manifest
file can be re-enabled using the :option:`--no-embed-manifest`
command-line switch, or via the ``embed_manifest=False`` argument to
``EXE()`` in the .spec file. (:issue:`6248`)


Hooks
~~~~~

* (macOS) Fix compatibility with Anaconda ``PyQt5`` package. (:issue:`6181`)
* Add a hook for ``pandas.plotting`` to restore compatibility with ``pandas``
1.3.0
and later. (:issue:`5994`)
* Add a hook for ``QtOpenGLWidgets`` for ``PyQt6`` and ``PySide6`` to collect
the new ``QtOpenGLWidgets`` module introduced in Qt6 (:issue:`6310`)
* Add hooks for ``QtPositioning`` and ``QtLocation`` modules of the Qt5-based
packages (``PySide2`` and ``PyQt5``) to ensure that corresponding plugins
are collected. (:issue:`6250`)
* Fix compatibility with ``PyQt5`` 5.9.2 from conda&#x27;s  main channel.
(:issue:`6114`)
* Prevent potential error in hooks for Qt-based packages that could be
triggered
by a partial ``PyQt6`` installation. (:issue:`6141`)
* Update ``QtNetwork`` hook for ``PyQt6`` and ``PySide6``  to collect the
new ``tls`` plugins that were introduced in Qt 6.2. (:issue:`6276`)
* Update the ``gi.repository.GtkSource`` hook to accept a module-versions
hooksconfig dict in order to allow the hook to be used with GtkSource
versions
greater than 3.0. (:issue:`6267`)


Bootloader
~~~~~~~~~~

* (Windows) Suppress two ``snprintf`` truncation warnings that prevented
bootloader from building with ``winlibs MinGW-w64`` toolchain.
(:issue:`6196`)
* Update the Linux bootloader cross compiler Dockerfile to allow using `the
official PyPA base images
&lt;https://quay.io/organization/pypa/&gt;`_ in place of the dockcross ones.
(:issue:`6245`)

4.5.1

------------------

Bugfix
~~~~~~

* Fix hook loader function not finding hooks if path has whitespaces.
(:issue:`6080`)

4.5

----------------

Features
~~~~~~~~

* (POSIX) Add ``exclude_system_libraries`` function to the Analysis class
for .spec files,
to exclude most or all non-Python system libraries from the bundle.
Documented in new :ref:`POSIX Specific Options` section. (:issue:`6022`)


Bugfix
~~~~~~

* (Cygwin) Add ``_MEIPASS`` to DLL search path to fix loading of python shared
library in onefile builds made in cygwin environment and executed outside of
it. (:issue:`6000`)
* (Linux) Display missing library warnings for &quot;not found&quot; lines in ``ldd``
output (i.e., ``libsomething.so =&gt; not found``) instead of quietly
ignoring them. (:issue:`6015`)
* (Linux) Fix spurious missing library warning when ``libc.so`` points to
``ldd``. (:issue:`6015`)
* (macOS) Fix python shared library detection for non-framework python builds
when the library  path cannot be inferred from imports of the ``python``
executable. (:issue:`6021`)
* (macOS) Fix the crashes in ``onedir`` bundles of ``tkinter``-based
applications
created using Homebrew python 3.9 and Tcl/Tk 8.6.11. (:issue:`6043`)
* (macOS) When fixing executable for codesigning, update the value of
``vmsize`` field in the ``__LINKEDIT`` segment. (:issue:`6039`)
* Downgrade messages about missing dynamic link libraries from ERROR to
WARNING. (:issue:`6015`)
* Fix a bytecode parsing bug which caused tuple index errors whilst scanning
modules which use :mod:`ctypes`. (:issue:`6007`)
* Fix an error when rhtooks for ``pkgutil`` and ``pkg_resources`` are used
together. (:issue:`6018`)
* Fix architecture detection on Apple M1 (:issue:`6029`)
* Fix crash in windowed bootloader when the traceback for unhandled exception
cannot be retrieved. (:issue:`6070`)
* Improve handling of errors when loading hook entry-points. (:issue:`6028`)
* Suppress missing library warning for ``shiboken2`` (``PySide2``) and
``shiboken6`` (``PySide6``) shared library. (:issue:`6015`)


Incompatible Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* (macOS) Disable processing of Apple events for the purpose of argv emulation
in ``onedir`` application bundles. This functionality was introduced in
PyInstaller 4.4 by (:issue:`5920`) in response to feature requests
(:issue:`5436`) and (:issue:`5908`), but was discovered to be breaking
``tkinter``-based ``onedir`` bundles made with Homebrew python 3.9 and
Tcl/Tk 8.6.11 (:issue:`6043`). As such, until the cause is investigated
and the issue addressed, this feature is reverted/disabled. (:issue:`6048`)


Hooks
~~~~~

* Add a hook for ``pandas.io.formats.style`` to deal with indirect import of
``jinja2`` and the missing template file. (:issue:`6010`)
* Simplify the ``PySide2.QWebEngineWidgets`` and ``PyQt5.QWebEngineWidgets`` by
merging most of their code into a common helper function. (:issue:`6020`)


Documentation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Add a page describing hook configuration mechanism and the currently
implemented options. (:issue:`6025`)


PyInstaller Core
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Isolate discovery of 3rd-party hook directories into a separate
subprocess to avoid importing packages in the main process. (:issue:`6032`)


Bootloader build
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Allow statically linking zlib on non-Windows specified via either a
``--static-zlib`` flag or a ``PYI_STATIC_ZLIB=1`` environment variable.
(:issue:`6010`)

4.4

----------------

Features
~~~~~~~~

* (macOS) Implement signing of .app bundle (ad-hoc or with actual signing
identity, if provided). (:issue:`5581`)
* (macOS) Implement support for Apple Silicon M1 (``arm64``) platform
and different targets for frozen applications (thin-binary ``x86_64``,
thin-binary ``arm64``, and fat-binary ``universal2``), with build-time
arch validation and ad-hoc resigning of all collected binaries.
(:issue:`5581`)
* (macOS) In ``onedir`` ``windowed`` (.app bundle) mode, perform an
interaction of Apple event processing to convert ``odoc`` and ``GURL``
events to ``sys.argv`` before entering frozen python script. (:issue:`5920`)
* (macOS) In windowed (.app bundle) mode, always log unhandled exception
information to ``syslog``, regardless of debug mode. (:issue:`5890`)
* (Windows) Add support for Python from Microsoft App Store. (:issue:`5816`)
* (Windows) Implement a custom dialog for displaying information about
unhandled
exception and its traceback when running in windowed/noconsole mode.
(:issue:`5890`)
* Add **recursive** option to :func:`PyInstaller.utils.hooks.copy_metadata()`.
(:issue:`5830`)
* Add ``--codesign-identity``  command-line switch to perform code-signing
with actual signing identity instead of ad-hoc signing (macOS only).
(:issue:`5581`)
* Add ``--osx-entitlements-file`` command-line switch that specifies optional
entitlements file to be used during code signing of collected binaries
(macOS only). (:issue:`5581`)
* Add ``--target-arch`` command-line switch to select target architecture
for frozen application (macOS only). (:issue:`5581`)
* Add a splash screen that displays a background image and text:
The splash screen can be controlled from within Python using the
``pyi_splash`` module.
A splash screen can be added using the ``--splash IMAGE_FILE`` option.
If optional text is enabled, the splash screen will show the progress of
unpacking in
onefile mode.
This feature is supported only on Windows and Linux.
A huge thanks to `Chrisg2000 &lt;https://github.com/Chrisg2000&gt;`_ for
programming this feature. (:issue:`4354`, :issue:`4887`)
* Add hooks for ``PyQt6``. (:issue:`5865`)
* Add hooks for ``PySide6``. (:issue:`5865`)
* Add option to opt-out from reporting full traceback for unhandled exceptions
in windowed mode (Windows and macOS only), via
``--disable-windowed-traceback``
PyInstaller CLI switch and the corresponding ``disable_windowed_traceback``
boolean argument to ``EXE()`` in spec file. (:issue:`5890`)
* Allow specify which icon set, themes and locales
to pack with Gtk applications.
Pass a keyword arg ``hooksconfig`` to
Analysis.

.. code-block:: python

   a = Analysis([&quot;my-gtk-app.py&quot;],
                ...,
                hooksconfig={
                    &quot;gi&quot;: {
                        &quot;icons&quot;: [&quot;Adwaita&quot;],
                        &quot;themes&quot;: [&quot;Adwaita&quot;],
                        &quot;languages&quot;: [&quot;en_GB&quot;, &quot;zh_CN&quot;]
                    }
                },
                ...)

(:issue:`5853`)
* Automatically exclude Qt plugins from UPX processing. (:issue:`4178`)
* Collect distribution metadata automatically.
This works by scanning collected Python files for uses of:

* ``pkg_resources.get_distribution()``
* ``pkg_resources.require()``
* ``importlib.metadata.distribution()``
* ``importlib.metadata.metadata()``
* ``importlib.metadata.files()``
* ``importlib.metadata.version()``

In all cases, the metadata will only be collected if the distribution name is
given as a plain string literal. Anything more complex will still require a
hook containing :func:`PyInstaller.utils.hooks.copy_metadata`.
(:issue:`5830`)
* Implement support for :func:`pkgutil.iter_modules`. (:issue:`1905`)
* Windows: Provide a meaningful error message if given an icon in an
unsupported
Image format. (:issue:`5755`)


Bugfix
~~~~~~

* (macOS) App bundles built in ``onedir`` mode now filter out ``-psnxxx``
command-line argument from ``sys.argv``, to keep behavior consistent
with bundles built in ``onefile`` mode. (:issue:`5920`)
* (macOS) Ensure that the macOS SDK version reported by the frozen application
corresponds to the minimum of the SDK version used to build the bootloader
and the SDK version used to build the Python library. Having the application
report more recent version than Python library and other bundled libraries
may result in macOS attempting to enable additional features that are not
available in the Python library, which may in turn cause inconsistent
behavior
and UI issues with ``tkinter``. (:issue:`5839`)
* (macOS) Remove spurious ``MacOS/`` prefix from ``CFBundleExecutable``
property
in the generated ``Info.plist`` when building an app bundle. (:issue:`4413`,
:issue:`5442`)
* (macOS) The drag &amp; drop file paths passed to app bundles built in
``onedir`` mode are now reflected in ``sys.argv``. (:issue:`5436`)
* (macOS) The file paths passed from the UI (`Open with...`) to app bundles
built in ``onedir`` mode are now reflected in ``sys.argv``. (:issue:`5908`)
* (macOS) Work around the ``tkinter`` UI issues due to problems with
dark mode activation: black ``Tk`` window with macOS Intel installers
from ``python.org``, or white text on bright background with Anaconda
python. (:issue:`5827`)
* (Windows) Enable collection of additional VC runtime DLLs (``msvcp140.dll``,
``msvcp140_1.dll``, ``msvcp140_2.dll``, and ``vcruntime140_1.dll``), to
allow frozen applications to run on Windows systems that do not have
`Visual Studio 2015/2017/2019 Redistributable` installed. (:issue:`5770`)
* Enable retrieval of code object for ``__main__`` module via its associated
loader (i.e., ``FrozenImporter``). (:issue:`5897`)
* Fix :func:`inspect.getmodule` failing to resolve module from stack-frame
obtained via :func:`inspect.stack`. (:issue:`5963`)
* Fix ``__main__`` module being recognized as built-in instead of module.
(:issue:`5897`)
* Fix a bug in :ref:`ctypes dependency scanning &lt;Ctypes Dependencies&gt;` which
caused references to be missed if the preceding code contains more than
256 names or 256 literals. (:issue:`5830`)
* Fix collection of duplicated ``_struct`` and ``zlib`` extension modules
with mangled filenames. (:issue:`5851`)
* Fix python library lookup when building with RH SCL python 3.8 or later.
(:issue:`5749`)
* Prevent :func:`PyInstaller.utils.hooks.copy_metadata` from renaming
``[...].dist-info`` metadata folders to ``[...].egg-info`` which breaks usage
of ``pkg_resources.requires()`` with *extras*. (:issue:`5774`)
* Prevent a bootloader executable without an embedded CArchive from being
misidentified as having one, which leads to undefined behavior in frozen
applications with side-loaded CArchive packages. (:issue:`5762`)
* Prevent the use of ``sys`` or ``os`` as variables in the global namespace
in frozen script from affecting the ``ctypes`` hooks thar are installed
during bootstrap. (:issue:`5797`)
* Windows: Fix EXE being rebuilt when there are no changes. (:issue:`5921`)


Hooks
~~~~~

* * Add ``PostGraphAPI.analysis`` attribute.
 Hooks can access the ``Analysis`` object
 through the ``hook()`` function.

* Hooks may access a ``Analysis.hooksconfig`` attribute
 assigned on ``Analysis`` construction.

 A helper function :func:`~PyInstaller.utils.hooks.get_hook_config`
 was defined in ``utils.hooks`` to get the config. (:issue:`5853`)
* Add support for ``PyQt5`` 5.15.4. (:issue:`5631`)
* Do not exclude ``setuptools.py27compat`` and ``setuptools.py33compat``
as they are required by other ``setuptools`` modules. (:issue:`5979`)
* Switch the library search order in ``ctypes`` hooks: first check whether
the given name exists as-is, before trying to search for its basename in
``sys._MEIPASS`` (instead of the other way around). (:issue:`5907`)


Bootloader
~~~~~~~~~~

* (macOS) Build bootloader as ``universal2`` binary by default (can
be disabled by passing ``--no-universal2`` to waf). (:issue:`5581`)
* Add Tcl/Tk based Splash screen, which is controlled from
within Python. The necessary module to create the Splash
screen in PyInstaller is under :mod:`Splash` available.
A huge thanks to `Chrisg2000 &lt;https://github.com/Chrisg2000&gt;`_ for
programming this feature. (:issue:`4887`)
* Provide a Dockerfile to build Linux bootloaders for different architectures.
(:issue:`5995`)


Documentation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Document the new macOS multi-arch support and code-signing behavior
in corresponding sub-sections of ``Notes about specific Features``.
(:issue:`5581`)


Bootloader build
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Update ``clang`` in ``linux64`` Vagrant VM to ``clang-11`` from
``apt.llvm.org`` so it can build ``universal2`` macOS bootloader.
(:issue:`5581`)
* Update ``crossosx`` Vagrant VM to build the toolchain from ``Command Line
Tools for Xcode`` instead of full ``Xcode package``. (:issue:`5581`)

4.3

----------------

Features
~~~~~~~~

* Provide basic implementation for ``FrozenImporter.get_source()`` that
allows reading source from ``.py`` files that are collected by hooks as
data files. (:issue:`5697`)
* Raise the maximum allowed size of ``CArchive`` (and consequently ``onefile``
executables) from 2 GiB to 4 GiB. (:issue:`3939`)
* The `unbuffered stdio` mode (the ``u`` option) now sets the
``Py_UnbufferedStdioFlag``
flag to enable unbuffered stdio mode in Python library. (:issue:`1441`)
* Windows: Set EXE checksums. Reduces false-positive detection from antiviral
software. (:issue:`5579`)
* Add new command-line options that map to collect functions from hookutils:
``--collect-submodules``, ``--collect-data``, ``--collect-binaries``,
``--collect-all``, and ``--copy-metadata``. (:issue:`5391`)
* Add new hook utility :func:`~PyInstaller.utils.hooks.collect_entry_point` for
collecting plugins defined through setuptools entry points. (:issue:`5734`)


Bugfix
~~~~~~

* (macOS) Fix ``Bad CPU type in executable`` error in helper-spawned python
processes when running under ``arm64``-only flavor of Python on Apple M1.
(:issue:`5640`)
* (OSX) Suppress missing library error messages for system libraries as
those are never collected by PyInstaller and starting with Big Sur,
they are hidden by the OS. (:issue:`5107`)
* (Windows) Change default cache directory to ``LOCALAPPDATA``
(from the original ``APPDATA``).
This is to make sure that cached data
doesn&#x27;t get synced with the roaming profile.
For this and future versions ``AppData\Roaming\pyinstaller``
might be safely deleted. (:issue:`5537`)
* (Windows) Fix ``onefile`` builds not having manifest embedded when icon is
disabled via ``--icon NONE``. (:issue:`5625`)
* (Windows) Fix the frozen program crashing immediately with
``Failed to execute script pyiboot01_bootstrap`` message when built in
``noconsole`` mode and with import logging enabled (either via
``--debug imports`` or ``--debug all`` command-line switch). (:issue:`4213`)
* ``CArchiveReader`` now performs full back-to-front file search for
``MAGIC``, allowing ``pyi-archive_viewer`` to open binaries with extra
appended data after embedded package (e.g., digital signature).
(:issue:`2372`)
* Fix ``MERGE()`` to properly set references to nested resources with their
full shared-package-relative path instead of just basename. (:issue:`5606`)
* Fix ``onefile`` builds failing to extract files when the full target
path exceeds 260 characters. (:issue:`5617`)
* Fix a crash in ``pyi-archive_viewer`` when quitting the application or
moving up a level. (:issue:`5554`)
* Fix extraction of nested files in ``onefile`` builds created in MSYS
environments. (:issue:`5569`)
* Fix installation issues stemming from unicode characters in
file paths. (:issue:`5678`)
* Fix the build-time error under python 3.7 and earlier when ``ctypes``
is manually added to ``hiddenimports``. (:issue:`3825`)
* Fix the return code if the frozen script fails due to unhandled exception.
The return code 1 is used instead of -1, to keep the behavior consistent
with that of the python interpreter. (:issue:`5480`)
* Linux: Fix binary dependency scanner to support `changes to ldconfig
&lt;https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=dfb3f101c5ef23adf60d389058a2b33e23303d04&gt;`_
introduced in ``glibc`` 2.33. (:issue:`5540`)
* Prevent ``MERGE`` (multipackage) from creating self-references for
duplicated TOC entries. (:issue:`5652`)
* PyInstaller-frozen onefile programs are now compatible with ``staticx``
even if the bootloader is built as position-independent executable (PIE).
(:issue:`5330`)
* Remove dependence on a `private function
&lt;https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/commit/e1352c71f07aee7eab004b73dd9bda2a260ab31b&gt;`_
removed in ``matplotlib`` 3.4.0rc1. (:issue:`5568`)
* Strip absolute paths from ``.pyc`` modules collected into
``base_library.zip``
to enable reproducible builds that are invariant to Python install location.
(:issue:`5563`)
* (OSX) Fix issues with ``pycryptodomex`` on macOS. (:issue:`5583`)
* Allow compiled modules to be collected into ``base_library.zip``.
(:issue:`5730`)
* Fix a build error triggered by scanning ``ctypes.CDLL(&#x27;libc.so&#x27;)`` on certain
Linux C compiler combinations. (:issue:`5734`)
* Improve performance and reduce stack usage of module scanning.
(:issue:`5698`)


Hooks
~~~~~

* Add support for Conda Forge&#x27;s distribution of ``NumPy``. (:issue:`5168`)
* Add support for package content listing via ``pkg_resources``. The
implementation enables querying/listing resources in a frozen package
(both PYZ-embedded and on-filesystem, in that order of precedence) via
``pkg_resources.resource_exists()``, ``resource_isdir()``, and
``resource_listdir()``. (:issue:`5284`)
* Hooks: Import correct typelib for GtkosxApplication. (:issue:`5475`)
* Prevent ``matplotlib`` hook from collecting current working directory when it
fails to determine the path to matplotlib&#x27;s data directory. (:issue:`5629`)
* Update ``pandas`` hook for compatibility with version 1.2.0 and later.
(:issue:`5630`)
* Update hook for ``distutils.sysconfig`` to be compatible with
pyenv-virtualenv. (:issue:`5218`)
* Update hook for ``sqlalchemy`` to support version 1.4.0 and above.
(:issue:`5679`)
* Update hook for ``sysconfig`` to be compatible with pyenv-virtualenv.
(:issue:`5018`)


Bootloader
~~~~~~~~~~

* Implement full back-to-front file search for the embedded archive.
(:issue:`5511`)
* Perform file extraction from the embedded archive in a streaming manner
in order to limit memory footprint when archive contains large files.
(:issue:`5551`)
* Set the ``__file__`` attribute in the ``__main__`` module (entry-point
script) to the absolute file name inside the ``_MEIPASS``. (:issue:`5649`)
* Enable cross compiling for FreeBSD from Linux. (:issue:`5733`)


Documentation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Doc: Add version spec file option for macOS Bundle. (:issue:`5476`)
* Update the ``Run-time Information`` section to reflect the changes in
behavior of ``__file__`` inside the ``__main__`` module. (:issue:`5649`)


PyInstaller Core
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Drop support for python 3.5; EOL since September 2020. (:issue:`5439`)
* Collect python extension modules that correspond to built-ins into
``lib-dynload`` sub-directory instead of directly into bundle&#x27;s root
directory. This prevents them from shadowing shared libraries with the
same basename that are located in a package and loaded via ``ctypes`` or
``cffi``, and also declutters the bundle&#x27;s root directory. (:issue:`5604`)

Breaking
~~~~~~~~

* No longer collect ``pyconfig.h`` and ``makefile`` for :mod:`sysconfig`. Instead
of :func:`~sysconfig.get_config_h_filename` and
:func:`~sysconfig.get_makefile_filename`, you should use
:func:`~sysconfig.get_config_vars` which no longer depends on those files. (:issue:`5218`)
* The ``__file__`` attribute in the ``__main__`` module (entry-point
script) is now set to the absolute file name inside the ``_MEIPASS``
(as if script file existed there) instead of just script filename.
This better matches the behavior of ``__file__`` in the unfrozen script,
but might break the existing code that explicitly relies on the old
frozen behavior. (:issue:`5649`)

4.2

----------------

Features
~~~~~~~~

* Add hooks utilities to find binary dependencies of Anaconda distributions.
(:issue:`5213`)
* (OSX) Automatically remove the signature from the collected copy of the
``Python`` shared library, using ``codesign --remove-signature``. This
accommodates both ``onedir`` and ``onefile`` builds with recent python
versions for macOS, where invalidated signature on PyInstaller-collected
copy of the ``Python`` library prevents the latter from being loaded.
(:issue:`5451`)
* (Windows) PyInstaller&#x27;s console or windowed icon is now added at freeze-time
and
no longer built into the bootloader. Also, using ``--icon=NONE`` allows to
not
apply any icon, thereby making the OS to show some default icon.
(:issue:`4700`)
* (Windows) Enable ``longPathAware`` option in built application&#x27;s manifest in
order to support long file paths on Windows 10 v.1607 and later.
(:issue:`5424`)


Bugfix
~~~~~~

* Fix loading of plugin-type modules at run-time of the frozen application:
If the plugin path is one character longer than sys._MEIPATH
(e.g. &quot;$PWD/p/plugin_1&quot; and &quot;$PWD/dist/main&quot;),
the plugin relative-imports a sub-module (of the plugin)
and the frozen application contains a module of the same name,
the frozen application module was imported. (:issue:`4141`, :issue:`4299`)
* Ensure that spec for frozen packages has ``submodule_search_locations`` set
in order to fix compatibility  with ``importlib_resources`` 3.2.0 and later.
(:issue:`5396`)
* Fix: No rebuild if &quot;noarchive&quot; build-option changes. (:issue:`5404`)
* (OSX) Fix the problem with ``Python`` shared library collected from
recent python versions not being loaded due to invalidated signature.
(:issue:`5062`, :issue:`5272`, :issue:`5434`)
* (Windows) PyInstaller&#x27;s default icon is no longer built into the bootloader,
but
added at freeze-time. Thus, when specifying an icon, only that icon is
contained in the executable and displayed for a shortcut. (:issue:`870`,
:issue:`2995`)
* (Windows) Fix &quot;toc is bad&quot; error messages
when passing a ``VSVersionInfo``
as the ``version`` parameter to ``EXE()``
in a ``.spec`` file. (:issue:`5445`)
* (Windows) Fix exception when trying to read a manifest from an exe or dll.
(:issue:`5403`)
* (Windows) Fix the ``--runtime-tmpdir`` option by creating paths if they don&#x27;t
exist and expanding environment variables (e.g. ``%LOCALAPPDATA%``).
(:issue:`3301`, :issue:`4579`, :issue:`4720`)


Hooks
~~~~~

* (GNU/Linux) Collect ``xcbglintegrations`` and ``egldeviceintegrations``
plugins as part of ``Qt5Gui``. (:issue:`5349`)
* (macOS) Fix: Unable to code sign apps built with GTK (:issue:`5435`)
* (Windows) Add a hook for ``win32ctypes.core``. (:issue:`5250`)
* Add hook for ``scipy.spatial.transform.rotation`` to fix compatibility with
SciPy 1.6.0. (:issue:`5456`)
* Add hook-gi.repository.GtkosxApplication to fix TypeError with Gtk macOS
apps. (:issue:`5385`)
* Add hooks utilities to find binary dependencies of Anaconda distributions.
(:issue:`5213`)
* Fix the ``Qt5`` library availability check in ``PyQt5`` and ``PySide2`` hooks
to re-enable support for ``Qt5`` older than 5.8. (:issue:`5425`)
* Implement ``exec_statement_rc()`` and ``exec_script_rc()`` as exit-code
returning counterparts of ``exec_statement()`` and ``exec_script()``.
Implement ``can_import_module()`` helper for hooks that need to query module
availability. (:issue:`5301`)
* Limit the impact of a failed sub-package import on the result of
``collect_submodules()`` to ensure that modules from all other sub-packages
are collected. (:issue:`5426`)
* Removed obsolete ``pygame`` hook. (:issue:`5362`)
* Update ``keyring`` hook to collect metadata, which is required for backend
discovery. (:issue:`5245`)


Bootloader
~~~~~~~~~~

* (GNU/Linux) Reintroduce executable resolution via ``readlink()`` on
``/proc/self/exe`` and preserve the process name using ``prctl()`` with
``PR_GET_NAME`` and ``PR_SET_NAME``. (:issue:`5232`)
* (Windows) Create temporary directories with user&#x27;s SID instead of
``S-1-3-4``,
to work around the lack of support for the latter in ``wine``.
This enables ``onefile`` builds to run under ``wine`` again. (:issue:`5216`)
* (Windows) Fix a bug in path-handling code with paths exceeding ``PATH_MAX``,
which is caused by use of ``_snprintf`` instead of ``snprintf`` when
building with MSC. Requires Visual Studio 2015 or later.
Clean up the MSC codepath to address other compiler warnings.
(:issue:`5320`)
* (Windows) Fix building of bootloader&#x27;s test suite under Windows with Visual
Studio.
This fixes build errors when ``cmocka`` is present in the build environment.
(:issue:`5318`)
* (Windows) Fix compiler warnings produced by MinGW 10.2 in order to allow
building the bootloader without having to suppress the warnings.
(:issue:`5322`)
* (Windows) Fix ``windowed+debug`` bootloader variant not properly
displaying the exception message and traceback information when the
frozen script terminates due to uncaught exception. (:issue:`5446`)


PyInstaller Core
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* (Windows) Avoid using UPX with DLLs that have control flow guard (CFG)
enabled. (:issue:`5382`)
* Avoid using ``.pyo`` module file suffix (removed since PEP-488) in
``noarchive`` mode. (:issue:`5383`)
* Improve support for ``PEP-420`` namespace packages. (:issue:`5354`)
* Strip absolute paths from ``.pyc`` modules collected in the CArchive (PKG).
This enables build reproducibility without having to match the location of
the build environment. (:issue:`5380`)

4.1

----------------

Features
~~~~~~~~

* Add support for Python 3.9. (:issue:`5289`)
* Add support for Python 3.8. (:issue:`4311`)


Bugfix
~~~~~~

* Fix endless recursion if a package&#x27;s ``__init__`` module is an extension
module. (:issue:`5157`)
* Remove duplicate logging messages (:issue:`5277`)
* Fix sw_64 architecture support (:issue:`5296`)
* (AIX) Include python-malloc labeled libraries in search for libpython.
(:issue:`4210`)


Hooks
~~~~~

* Add ``exclude_datas``, ``include_datas``, and ``filter_submodules`` to
``collect_all()``. These arguments map to the ``excludes`` and ``includes``
arguments of ``collect_data_files``, and to the `filter` argument of
``collect_submodules``. (:issue:`5113`)
* Add hook for difflib to not pull in doctests, which is only
required when run as main program.
* Add hook for distutils.util to not pull in lib2to3 unittests, which will be
rearly used in frozen packages.
* Add hook for heapq to not pull in doctests, which is only
required when run as main program.
* Add hook for multiprocessing.util to not pull in python test-suite and thus
e.g. tkinter.
* Add hook for numpy._pytesttester to not pull in pytest.
* Add hook for pickle to not pull in doctests and argpargs, which are only
required when run as main program.
* Add hook for PIL.ImageFilter to not pull
numpy, which is an optional component.
* Add hook for setuptools to not pull in numpy, which is only imported if
installed, not mean to be a dependency
* Add hook for zope.interface to not pull in pytest unittests, which will be
rearly used in frozen packages.
* Add hook-gi.repository.HarfBuzz to fix Typelib error with Gtk apps.
(:issue:`5133`)
* Enable overriding Django settings path by `DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE`
environment variable. (:issue:`5267`)
* Fix `collect_system_data_files` to scan the given input path instead of its
parent.
File paths returned by `collect_all_system_data` are now relative to the
input path. (:issue:`5110`)
* Fix argument order in ``exec_script()`` and ``eval_script()``.
(:issue:`5300`)
* Gevent hook does not unnecessarily bundle HTML documentation, __pycache__
folders, tests nor generated .c and .h files (:issue:`4857`)
* gevent: Do not pull in test-suite (still to be refined)
* Modify hook for ``gevent`` to exclude test submodules. (:issue:`5201`)
* Prevent .pyo files from being collected by collect_data_files when
include_py_files is False. (:issue:`5141`)
* Prevent output to ``stdout`` during module imports from ending up in the
modules list collected by ``collect_submodules``. (:issue:`5244`)
* Remove runtime hook and fix regular hook for matplotlib&#x27;s data to support
``matplotlib&gt;=3.3.0``, fix deprecation warning on version 3.1&lt;= &amp; &lt;3.3,
and behave normally for versions &lt;3.1. (:issue:`5006`)
* Remove support for deprecated PyQt4 and PySide (:issue:`5118`,
:issue:`5126`)
* setuptools: Exclude outdated compat modules.

4.0

----------------

Features
~~~~~~~~

* Provide setuptools entrypoints to enable other packages to provide
PyInstaller hooks specific to that package, along with tests for these
hooks.

Maintainers of Python packages requiring hooks are invited to use this new
feature and provide up-to-date PyInstaller support along with their package.
This is quite easy, see our `sample project`__ for more information
(:issue:`4232`, :issue:`4301`, :issue:`4582`).
Many thanks to Bryan A. Jones for implementing the important parts.

__ https://github.com/pyinstaller/hooksample

* A new package `pyinstaller-hooks-contrib`__ provides monthly updated hooks
now. This package is installed automatically when installing PyInstaller,
but can be updated independently.
Many thanks to Legorooj for setting up the new package
and moving the hooks there.

__ https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller-hooks-contrib

* Added the ``excludes`` and ``includes`` arguments to the hook utility
function ``collect_data_files``.
* Change the hook collection order so that the hook-priority is command line,
then entry-point, then PyInstaller builtins. (:issue:`4876`)


Bugfix
~~~~~~

* (AIX) Include python-malloc labeled libraries in search for libpython.
(:issue:`4738`)
* (win32) Fix Security Alerts caused by subtle implementation differences
between posix anf windows in ``os.path.dirname()``. (:issue:`4707`)
* (win32) Fix struct format strings for versioninfo. (:issue:`4861`)
* (Windows) cv2: bundle the `opencv_videoio_ffmpeg*.dll`, if available.
(:issue:`4999`)
* (Windows) GLib: bundle the spawn helper executables for `g_spawn*` API.
(:issue:`5000`)
* (Windows) PySide2.QtNetwork: search for SSL DLLs in `PrefixPath` in addition
to `BinariesPath`. (:issue:`4998`)
* (Windows) When building with 32-bit python in onefile mode, set the
``requestedExecutionLevel`` manifest key every time and embed the manifest.
(:issue:`4992`)
* * (AIX) Fix uninitialized variable. (:issue:`4728`, :issue:`4734`)
* Allow building on a different drive than the source. (:issue:`4820`)
* Consider Python&lt;version&gt; as possible library binary path. Fixes issue where
python is not found if Python3 is installed via brew on OSX (:issue:`4895`)
* Ensure shared dependencies from onefile packages can be opened in the
bootloader.
* Ensuring repeatable builds of base_library.zip. (:issue:`4654`)
* Fix ``FileNotFoundError`` showing up in ``utils/misc.py`` which occurs when a
namespace was processed as an filename. (:issue:`4034`)
* Fix multipackaging. The `MERGE` class will now have the correct relative
paths
between shared dependencies which can correctly be opened by the bootloader.
(:issue:`1527`, :issue:`4303`)
* Fix regression when trying to avoid hard-coded paths in .spec files.
* Fix SIGTSTP signal handling to allow typing Ctrl-Z from terminal.
(:issue:`4244`)
* Update the base library to support encrypting Python bytecode (``--key``
option) again. Many thanks to Matteo Bertini for finally fixing this.
(:issue:`2365`, :issue:`3093`, :issue:`3133`, :issue:`3160`,
:issue:`3198`, :issue:`3316`, :issue:`3619`, :issue:`4241`,
:issue:`4652`)
* When stripping the leading parts of paths in compiled code objects, the
longest possible import path will now be stripped. (:issue:`4922`)


Incompatible Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Remove support for Python 2.7. The minimum required version is now Python
3.5. The last version supporting Python 2.7 was PyInstaller 3.6.
(:issue:`4623`)
* Many hooks are now part of the new `pyinstaller-hooks-contrib`
repository. See below for a detailed list.


Hooks
~~~~~

* Add hook for ``scipy.stats._stats`` (needed for scipy since 1.5.0).
(:issue:`4981`)
* Prevent hook-nltk from adding non-existing directories. (:issue:`3900`)
* Fix ``importlib_resources`` hook for modern versions (after 1.1.0).
(:issue:`4889`)
* Fix hidden imports in `pkg_resources`__ and `packaging`__  (:issue:`5044`)

- Add yet more hidden imports to pkg_resources hook.
- Mirror the pkg_resources hook for packaging which may or may not be
 duplicate of ``pkg_resources._vendor.packaging``.

__ https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html
__ https://packaging.pypa.io/en/latest/

* Update pkg_resources hook for setuptools v45.0.0.
* Add QtQmlModels to included libraries for QtWebEngine on OS X
(:issue:`4631`).
