+
+Features

+
+  As a security measure, pip will raise an exception when installing packages from
+  PyPI if those packages depend on packages not also hosted on PyPI.
+  In the future, PyPI will block uploading packages with such external URL dependencies directly. (`#4187 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/4187>`_)
+- Upgrade pyparsing to 2.2.1. (`#5013 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5013>`_)

+- Support passing ``svn+ssh`` URLs with a username to ``pip install -e``. (`#5375 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5375>`_)
+- pip now ensures that the RECORD file is sorted when installing from a wheel file. (`#5525 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5525>`_)
+- Add support for Python 3.7. (`#5561 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5561>`_)

+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- Checkout the correct branch when doing an editable Git install. (`#2037 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/2037>`_)
+- Run self-version-check only on commands that may access the index, instead of
+  trying on every run and failing to do so due to missing options. (`#5433 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5433>`_)
+- Allow a Git ref to be installed over an existing installation. (`#5624 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5624>`_)
+- Show a better error message when a configuration option has an invalid value. (`#5644 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5644>`_)
+- Always revalidate cached simple API pages instead of blindly caching them for up to 10
+  minutes. (`#5670 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5670>`_)
+- Avoid caching self-version-check information when cache is disabled. (`#5679 <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5679>`_)
