[ANN]: distlib 0.1.8 released on PyPI topic

I've released version 0.1.8 of distlib on PyPI [1]. For newcomers,
distlib is a library of packaging functionality which is intended
to be*usable as the basis for third-party packaging tools.

The main changes in this release are as follows:

* Fixed issue #45: Improved thread-safety in SimpleScrapingLocator.
**Fixed issue #42: Handling of pre-release legacy version numbers
* now mirrors setuptools logic.
* Added exists, verify, update, is_compatible and is_mountable methods
* to*the Wheel class (the update method fixed issue #41).
* Added a search method to thePackageIndex class.
* Fixed a bug in the Metadata.add_requirements method.
**Allowed versions with a single numeric component and a local version
* component (tracking changes to PEP 440).* Corrected spelling of environment variable used for the stub launcher
* on OS X.
**Avoided using pydist.json in 1.0 wheels (bdist_wheel writes a non-
* conformingpydist.json).

* Improved computation of ABI tags on Python versions where SOABI is not
* available, and improved computation of compatibility tags on OS X to
* allow for multiple architectures and older OS X versions.


A more detailed change log is available at [2]. Please try it out, and
if you find any problems or have any suggestions for*improvements, please
give some feedback using the issue tracker! [3]
