Version 0.12.2

We've fixed another issue in the new file inclusion mode on Windows. We now always normalize SDist names, even if minimum-version is set to 0.4 or older, due to the fact PyPI no longer accepts non-normalized SDist names. Please increase your minimum-version anyway, though! Finally, the debug logging for file inclusion now displays the exact rule that triggered the include/exclude
behavior.

Fixes:

• Use as_posix for prefix matching for better Windows support by @henryiii in #1246
• Always normalize SDist names, even in <0.5 compat mode by @henryiii in #1247
• Better logging on why something fails/passes file inclusion check by @henryiii in #1250

Internal:

• Backport downstream RHEL patch to disable tests by @LecrisUT in #1244

Full Changelog: v0.12.1...v0.12.2

Version 0.12.1

Fixes:

• Use CMAKE_GENERATOR(_PLATFORM) on Windows again by @henryiii in #1235

Full Changelog: v0.12.0...v0.12.1

Version 0.12.0

What's Changed

This release adds a new sdist.inclusion-mode setting, with a new default: ignored directories are no longer traversed unless a file is specifically allowed inside of it via the base path.

Version 0.11.2

This release allows dynamic-metadata to reference other fields, which enables a new plugin, "template", and enables the fancy readme plugin to include the version.
