    Python eggs and wheels now contain more modern information on the
    package, including contact information, homepage URL, a suitable long
    description for PyPI, and Python 3 compatibility markers. Python
    requirement information was added, helping to prevent the package from
    being installed on older versions of Python (such as Python 3.0 through
    3.4). Some other bits of the setup.py have been cleaned up as well,
    removing unnecessary code, adding a missing sys.exit(), and bringing
    some definitions inline.

    The wheels are now set to be universal, meaning the same wheel can be
    installed both on Python 2 and 3. This will require some additional
    changes in our build tools to support, though.

    The macOS and Windows packaging scripts have also been updated. Windows
    is now set to use a more modern version of Python 2.7, and uses curl
    instead of PowerShell for downloading (working around SSL issues found
    on Windows 7). It also no longer includes the final ".0" in the filename
    for releases like "1.0.0," mirroring the filenames for the Python
    packages.

    macOS is being prepared for future Python 3 support (which still doesn't
    exist in macOS, so it hasn't been turned on), along with using the
    universal wheel.

    The old release script, which we haven't used in years, has also been
    removed.

    Built Python and macOS packages for all supported Python versions.

    The Windows packages have not been tested yet, as my build
    infrastructure requires some unrelated work before I can test it
    thoroughly.
