    * Handle bare newlines when parsing metadata.

    * Use version comparison logic for python_full_version.

    * Fix shebang computation for source builds of Python.

    * Extract tarfiles more safely by incorporating tarfile filters.

    * Check for 'has_cert' attribute before using it.

    * Fix #200: Improve conformance to PEP440.

    * Fix #203: Handle parsing of export entries to allow script names such as "," or ",foo".
