+#) Instead of depending on the built-in functionality of searching for a zip
+   file that looks like pythonxx.zip (which is disabled on some platforms like
+   Ubuntu), set the Python path to include a subdirectory called "lib" and a
+   zip file "lib/library.zip" on all platforms.
+#) Do not create version resource when version is omitted (`PR #279`_).
+#) Ensure the sqlite3 DLL is loaded in the same directory as the module which
+   depends on it (`Issue #296`_).
