# Fourth Check-In

Hello there! I'm having my second year's last exam tomorrow,
but it [feels like summer] already!  I've been finalizing quite a few things
to get them ready for pip 20.2b2.

## What did I do last week?

I've spent most of the time on getting {{pip 8532 "the opt-in"}} for obtaining
dependency information via lazy wheels ready.  It will be available as
`--use-feature=fast-deps` and only has effect when
`--use-feature=2020-resolver` also presents.

While waiting for reviews and suggestions, I made some patches for
internal cleansing, namely {{pip 8568}}, {{pip 8571}} and {{pip 8578}}.
Some of the similar patches I made earlier were also merged last week:
{{pip 8456}} and {{pip 8538}}.

## Did I get stuck anywhere?

Not really, everything was going as expected for me.

## What is coming up next?

After {{pip 8532}}, I'll work on the parallel download of the postponed wheels.
My main current concern is with how the download progress will be reported
to the users, but I think I'll figure it out soon.
