3.0.0
^^^^^


New Features
************

* Adds a caching layer.  The cache is a single JSON file created
  automatically in the user's home directory. It stores the parsed
  text data from all of the metadata input files in a file with a name
  based on the hash of the contents and *sys.path*, ensuring
  uniqueness for applications installed into different virtual
  environments.


Upgrade Notes
*************

* The type of the entry point objects returned has changed from
  *pkg_resources.EntryPoint* to *importlib.metadata.EntryPoint*. The
  new objects still have a *load()* method, but some of the other APIs
  are different.
