+@item @url{https://pythonwheels.com/, Wheel} uploading support
+@item integrity check of proxied packages: MD5, SHA256, SHA512, BLAKE2b-256
+@item SHA256 checksums for stored packages
+@item verifying of SHA256 checksum for uploaded packages
+@item storing of uploaded GPG signatures
+@item no YAML configuration, just command-line arguments
