[python-win32] [ANN] pywin32 build 220 released.

[Mark Hammond]

Hi all,
   I'm happy to announce the release of pywin32 build 220.  This release 
has addressed a number of bugs with previous builds (most notably 
failure to install in Python 3.5) and has added a few new features - 
I've appended the change log at the end of this mail.

Downloads are available at:

   https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build%20220/

For initial support (eg, to ask questions about the release etc), please 
contact this mailing-list (python-win32 at python.org).  If you want to 
report a bug, please do so at https://sf.net/projects/pywin32.

As always, thanks to everyone who contributed to this release, both in 
terms of code and reporting bugs to the tracker.  As usual, Roger Upole 
contributed a huge number of fixes and enhancements for this release - 
thanks!

(Regarding SourceForge - I'm hoping to start a discussion soon about 
moving away from their platform due to some high-profile issues with 
their site. Given Python itself is moving to github in the future, it 
may make sense to move pywin32 there too. But in the interests of 
getting a build out that works with Python 3.5, I decided to stick with 
SourceForge for now. If your browser or adblocker reports the site as 
malicious, then you probably need to add an exception)

Cheers,

Mark
