| After the release of Miniforge 23.3.1 in August 2023, Miniforge and Mambaforge are essentially identical. The only difference is the name of the installer and subsequently the default installation path. | ||

| Before that release, Miniforge only shipped conda, while Mambaforge added mamba on top. Since Miniconda started shipping conda-libmamba-solver in July 2023, Miniforge followed suit and started shipping it too in August. At that point, since conda-libmamba-solver depends on libmambapy, the only difference between Miniforge and Mambaforge was the presence of the mamba Python package. To minimize surprises, we decided to add mamba to Miniforge too. |

is the July 2023 thing true? I only just set the 23.3.0 and 23.3.1 as latest

Anaconda published those Miniconda installers in July 2023, containing conda 23.5. CalVer can make this conversation confusing I guess 😬, but I spelt out the month and year hoping people wouldn't understand it as a version, but simply as a date. If there's a different way we can write it out, I am super happy to change it.

Maybe we should bump the installer version for clarity?
