Bug Fixes

Optimized usage of --find-links=<path-to-dir>, by only scanning the \ 
relevant directory once, only considering file names that are valid wheel or \ 
sdist names, and only considering files in the directory that are related to the \ 
install.
Removed wheel from the [build-system].requires list fallback that is used when \ 
pyproject.toml is absent.

Fix outdated pip install argument description in documentation.
Replace some links to PEPs with links to the canonical specifications on the \

build dependency directly.

Process

Most project metadata is now defined statically via pip’s pyproject.toml file.
