On behalf of the Distribute team I am happy to announce the release of
Distribute 0.6.4.

== What is Distribute ==

Distribute is a fork of the Setuptools project.

Distribute is intended to replace Setuptools as the standard method
for working with Python module distributions, on the top of Distutils.

== What's new in 0.6.4 ==

- This release is now compatible with zc.buildout, as long as you use
the special bootstrap.py file provided at
http://nightly.ziade.org/bootstrap.py

- A new "upload_docs" command to easily upload project documentation
to PyPI's http://packages.python.org was added. As a matter of fact,
Distribute  documentation uses it and is now available at :
http://packages.python.org/distribute

- A bug was fixed in the bootstrapping process (IOError: Could not
build the egg)

The release is available at PyPI, together with the installation
instructions: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute

== What's next ==

The next release in the 0.6.x will continue the work on fixing bugs.
The roadmap of the project is here:
http://packages.python.org/distribute/roadmap.html

== feedback ==

bug tracker: http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issues
mailing list : distutils-sig@python.org

Regards
Tarek
