21.14.13

Security

• Stop bash running commands from --prompt or an environment name containing $(...), backticks or a backslash after shopt -s promptvars, set -o posix, or in a child shell that inherits an exported PS1 (GHSA-cx6f-vjhg-g3cc); reported by @​rozzkml. zsh now draws the prompt from psvar[9], which is never parsed as shell syntax. (#3466) by @​gaborbernat.
• Write the .venv redirect and the wheel RECORD with exclusive create, so a link planted after the existence check cannot redirect the write. On POSIX, replace a read-only .venv redirect that points at a virtualenv. (#3466) by @​gaborbernat.

21.15.1 (2026-10-28)

.. _release-21-15-1-fixed:

Fixed

• Keep the name of a seeded console_scripts entry that contains digits but does not end in a version, such as python3-config or 2to3, instead of truncating it at the first digit; python3-config overwrote the environment's python executable (:pr:3451) by :user:JingHao-Leon and :user:gaborbernat.
• Copy the content of a symlinked directory when a tree is copied into an environment, instead of dropping it (:pr:3454) by :user:JingHao-Leon and :user:gaborbernat.
• Count each -v, -q, -p and --try-first-with option once instead of once per internal parsing pass, so Session.verbosity is 3 rather than 9 for a single -v (:pr:3457) by :user:darrenhuai and :user:gaborbernat.
• Copy the seed packages instead of failing when VIRTUALENV_SYMLINK_APP_DATA or symlink_app_data in the config file turns on symlink seeding on a host that cannot create symlinks, such as Windows without the symlink privilege (:pr:3465) by :user:darrenhuai and :user:gaborbernat.
• Run the interpreter that collects the target debug information (-vv output and Creator.debug) without PYTHONPATH and with the environment passed to cli_run, so the reported sys.path no longer lists the caller's PYTHONPATH entries (:pr:3474) by :user:RaphaelFakhri and :user:gaborbernat.

Added

• Bundle dependencies for Python 3.15 in the standalone zipapp and stop bundling Python 3.8, which is outside the package's supported range (:pr:3458) by :user:gaborbernat.
