Remove Jenkins override support: this feature goes against the spirit of tox - blurring the line between the CI and local runs. It also singles out a single CI provider, which opens the door for other CIs wanting similar functionality. Finally, only 54 code file examples came back on a Github search, showing this is a not widely used feature. People who still want Jenkins override support may create a tox plugin to achieve this functionality - by @gaborbernat. (#1841)

Python version markers are stripped in package dependencies (after wrongfully being detected as an extra marker).
In packaging APIs do not set
PYTHONPATH

is empty.Fix commands parsing on Windows (do not auto-escape
\
- instead users should use the new{\}
, and on parsed arguments strip both'
and"
quoted outcomes).Allow windows paths in substitution set/default (the
:
character used to separate substitution arguments may also be present in paths on Windows - do not support single capital letter values as substitution arguments) - by @gaborbernat. (PR #1784)
Rework how we handle Python packaging environments:
the base packaging environment changed from
.package
to.pkg
,merged the
sdist
,wheel
anddev
separate packaging implementations into one, and internally dynamically pick the one that’s needed,the base packaging environment always uses the same Python environment as tox is installed into,
the base packaging environment is used to get the metadata of the project (via PEP-517) and to build
sdist
anddev
packages,for building wheels introduced a new per env configurable option
wheel_build_env
, if the target Python major/minor and implementation for the run tox environment and the base package tox environment matches set this to.pkg
, otherwise this is.pkg-{implementation}{major}{minor}
,internally now packaging environments can create further packaging environments they are responsible of managing,
updated
depends
to use the packaging logic,add support skip missing interpreters for depends and show config,

Warning
The current tox is the second iteration of implementation. From version 0.5
all the way to 3.X
we numbered the first iteration. Version 4.0.0a1
is a complete rewrite of the package, and as such this release
history starts from there. The old changelog is still available in the
legacy branch documentation.
