Bugfixes - 20.4.0

• Upgrade embedded setuptools to 51.3.3 from 51.1.2 - by :user:gaborbernat. ([#2055](https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/2055) <https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/2055>_)

v20.3.1 (2021-01-13)

Bugfixes - 20.3.1

- Bump embed pip to ``20.3.3``, setuptools to ``51.1.1`` and wheel to ``0.36.2`` - by :user:`gaborbernat`. (`[#2036](https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/2036) <https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/2036>`_)
- Allow unfunctioning of pydoc to fail freely so that virtualenvs can be
  activated under Zsh with set -e (since otherwise ``unset -f`` and
  ``unfunction`` exit with 1 if the function does not exist in Zsh) - by
  :user:`d125q`. (`[#2049](https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/2049) <https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/2049>`_)
- Drop cached python information if the system executable is no longer present (for example when the executable is a
  shim and the mapped executable is replaced - such is the case with pyenv) - by :user:`gaborbernat`. (`[#2050](https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/2050) <https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/2050>`_)
v20.3.0 (2021-01-10)
Features - 20.3.0

• The builtin discovery takes now a --try-first-with argument and is first attempted as valid interpreters. One can use this to force discovery of a given python executable when the discovery order/mechanism raises errors - by :user:gaborbernat. ([#2046](https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/2046) <https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/2046>_)

Bugfixes - 20.3.0

- On Windows python ``3.7+`` distributions where the exe shim is missing fallback to the old ways - by :user:`gaborbernat`. (`[#1986](https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/1986) <https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/1986>`_)
- When discovering interpreters on Windows, via the PEP-514, prefer ``PythonCore`` releases over other ones. virtualenv
  is used via pip mostly by this distribution, so prefer it over other such as conda - by :user:`gaborbernat`. (`[#2046](https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/2046) <https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/2046>`_)
