If ``use_frozen_constraints`` is false (default), the constraints will be taken + from the specifications listed under ``deps`` (and inside any requirements or constraints file referenced in ``deps``). + Otherwise, ``list_dependencies_command`` (``pip freeze``) is used to enumerate exact package specifications which will + be written to the constraints file. + + In previous releases, conflicting package dependencies would silently override the ``deps`` named in the configuration, + resulting in test runs against unexpected dependency versions, particularly when using tox factors to explicitly test + with different versions of dependencies - by :user:`masenf`. (:issue:`2386`) + +Bugfixes - 4.4.0 +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +- When parsing command lines, use ``shlex(..., posix=True)``, even on windows platforms, since non-POSIX mode does not + handle escape characters and quoting like a shell would. This improves cross-platform configurations without hacks or + esoteric quoting. + + To make this transition easier, on Windows, the backslash path separator will not treated as an escape character unless + it preceeds a quote, whitespace, or another backslash chracter. This allows paths to mostly be written in single or + double backslash style. + + Note that **double-backslash will no longer be escaped to a single backslash in substitutions**, instead the double + backslash will be consumed as part of command splitting, on either posix or windows platforms. + + In some instances superfluous double or single quote characters may be stripped from arg arrays in ways that do not + occur in the default windows ``cmd.exe`` shell - by :user:`masenf`. (:issue:`2635`) + +Improved Documentation - 4.4.0 +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +- Add infromation when command from ``list_dependencies_command`` configuration option is used.
