Pre-release for testing

[dhellmann]

This release was produced to test the GitHub automation for publishing
to PyPI, but also includes some of the breaking changes that will
appear in the final 6.0.0 release.

The last release of virtualenvwrapper was 4.8.4 in February
of 2019. If you rely on virtualenvwrapper for your daily workflow,

any issues by filing a
ticket.
