dependency: (deps): Bump distlib from 0.4.3 to 0.4.4 - #119

Sourced from distlib's changelog.

0.4.4

Released: 2026-10-16


compat

Fixed a missing import. Thanks to Andrej730 for the patch.



markers

Fixed #273: Enforce compatible-release bounds in environment markers.
Thanks to Luochenchen for the patch.



metadata

Fix #194: Add an urls property to expose project and home URLs. Thanks to
Sinkleberg for the patch.



scripts


Raise the correct exception when a launcher can't be written. Thanks to
candygoogy for the patch.


Fix #144: Detect shell-script Python executables in ScriptMaker shebangs.
Thanks to Alex Chen for the patch.




util


Improve performance of export entry search to take linear time. Thanks to
Brian Willows for the patch.


Use tarfile.data_filter rather than tarfile.tar_filter in unarchive()
when extraction filters are available, matching the Python 3.14 default. Path and
link containment checks now use os.path.realpath and no longer fail with
IndexError for members such as . or ./. Thanks to Kobain for the patch.


unarchive() now resolves member paths through symlinks seen earlier in the
same archive, so a chain of individually harmless-looking links cannot be used
to write outside the destination on Pythons without extraction filters. Thanks to
Kobain for the patch.




version


Improve NormalizedVersion by addressing correctness and performance gaps
found by comparison with packaging. Thanks to Damian Shaw for the patch.


Improve SemanticVersion by comparing numeric prerelease identifiers,
including those longer than 8 digits. Thanks to Muneeb Sheikh for the
patch.
