 * (pypi) To configure the environment for `requirements.txt` evaluation, use the newly added
   developer preview of the `pip.default` tag class. Only `rules_python` and root modules can use
   this feature. You can also configure custom `config_settings` using `pip.default`.
+* (pypi) PyPI dependencies now expose an `:extracted_whl_files` filegroup target
+  of all the files extracted from the wheel. This can be used in lieu of
+  {obj}`whl_filegroup` to avoid copying/extracting wheel multiple times to
+  get a subset of their files.
 * (gazelle) New directive `gazelle:python_generate_pyi_deps`; when `true`,
   dependencies added to satisfy type-only imports (`if TYPE_CHECKING`) and type
   stub packages are added to `pyi_deps` instead of `deps`.
