Hi,

PEP 345 is the PEP for the new metadata format, replacing PEP 314. I
have upgraded it, using Tres's work from last year, and the next step
is to add the context marker presented in PEP 390.

I have also updated PEP 386 to link it to PEP 345.

= PEP 345 : Summary of Differences From PEP 314 =

* Metadata-Version is now 1.2.

* Added fields:

  - Maintainer
  - Maintainer-email
  - Requires-Python
  - Requires-External
  - Requires-Dist
  - Provides-Dist
  - Obsoletes-Dist

* Deprecated fields:

  - Requires (in favor of Requires-Dist)
  - Provides (in favor of Provides-Dist)
  - Obsoletes (in favor of Obsoletes-Dist)


Please comment!
