+- Performance enhancements to distribution discovery. - ``entry_points``
+only returns unique distributions. - Introduces new ``EntryPoints`` object
+for containing a set of entry points with convenience methods for selecting
+entry points by group or name.  ``entry_points`` now returns this object if
+selection parameters are supplied but continues to return a dict object for
+compatibility. Users are encouraged to rely on the selection interface. The
+dict object result is likely to be deprecated in the future. - Added
+packages_distributions function to return a mapping of packages to the
+distributions that provide them.
