3.28.0

Special announcement

In the upcoming January 2024 release of conda-build, significant changes are underway. We're set to transition to the CalVer versioning system. Additionally, we'll be formally embracing CEP 8 to manage our release schedule. Moreover, an expedited version of CEP 9 will be adopted for deprecation handling, omitting the pending deprecation phase and streamlining the period from deprecation to removal to a mere 2 months.

Enhancements

• Add stblib jinja function similar to compiler to explicitly define sysroot dependencies. (#4999)
• Utilize conda-known subdirs for selector definitions, enabling conda_build to support new architectures with only an updated conda version. New OS support requires additional information for proper conda_build functionality, including UNIX-like platform designation, shared library prefix, and binary archive format for the platform. (#5009)
• Eliminate unnecessary cache clearing from conda_build.build.test. (#5031)
• Consolidate which_package implementations and replace conda.models.dist.Dist usage with conda.models.records.PrefixRecords. (#5041)

Bug fixes

• Display package file name in get_hash_input. (#5021)
• Fall back to solved record filename to locate the downloaded tarball in get_upstream_pins. (#4991 via #5037)
• Prevent overwriting of variants in high priority cbc.yaml entries when absent in lower priority cbc.yamls. (#5039)
• Correct the check for a missing anaconda-client to display a useful error message. (#5050)
• Fix conda_index.index verbose DEBUG/INFO message logging. (#5066)

Full Changelog: 3.27.0...3.28.0

3.27.0

Enhancements

• Remove glob2 dependency. As of Python 3.5, the '**', operator was available to glob when using recursive=True. Builtin glob is also much faster. (#5005)
• Handle emscripten-wasm32 and wasi-wasm32 platforms. (#4813)

Bug fixes

• Delay imports in conda command plugin until the command is used, avoiding import-time side effects. (#4949)

Deprecations

• When templating new recipes from a PyPI package, the build script {{ PYTHON }} -m pip install . -vv is deprecated in favor of {{ PYTHON }} -m pip install . -vv --no-deps --no-build-isolation. (#4960)

Docs

• Document ~= (compatibility release) match spec. (#4553)
• Clarify that the build prefix is activated after the host prefix. (#4942)

Full Changelog: 3.26.0...3.26.1

3.26.0

Enhancements

• Add pip to env-doc make command so function works correctly (pip is no longer added by default with the python conda package). (#4633)
• Log extra-meta data to make it easier to verify that the right extra-meta data is burned into packages (also helps to co-relate packages and their build-log). The feature was first introduced in #4303 and is now improved via the logging call. (#4901)
• Implement subcommands as conda plugins. (#4921)

Bug fixes

• Fix handling of unknown binaries with newer (py)lief versions. (#4900)
• Disable LIEF logging to remove "Unknown format" warning message. (#4850)
• Revert enable_static default value in conda_build.config to remove "Failed to get_static_lib_exports" warning messages. (#4850)
• Avoid duplicate logging by not propagating the top-level conda-build logger. (#4903)
• Fix git cloning for repositories with submodules containing local relative paths. (#4914)

Deprecations

• Mark executable invocations (e.g., conda-build) as pending deprecation. (#4921)
• Mark module based invocations (e.g., python -m conda_build.cli.main_build) as pending deprecation. (#4921)

Docs

• Update pkg-spec docs to mention .conda package format. (#4633)
• Drop unnecessary Jinja package name variables from variants.rst docs file. (#4834)

Other

• Drop duplicate get_summary call in conda_build.skeletons.pypi. (#3998)

3.25.0

Enhancements

• Noarch packages that use virtual packages have the virtual packages added to the hash contents of the package. This facilitates the building of noarch packages multiple times for different platforms with platform specific dependencies. (#4606)
• Add support for svn source credentials (svn_username and svn_password). (#4692)
• Depend on standalone conda-index instead of bundled indexing code. (#4828)
• Switch from setup.py to pyproject.toml and use Hatchling for our build system. (#4840)
• Add Python 3.11 support. (#4852)

Bug fixes

• Ensure tests/commands are also run in the presence of run_test.* (#4429)
• Require the source when rendering a recipe that uses the load_file_data function. (#4817)
• Download packages during build into the correct subdir folder. (#4832)
• Use a unique subdir variable name when rebuilding the index for multi-output builds. (#4862)

Deprecations

• Inline conda index logic is pending deprecation. conda-build still provides conda-index a.k.a. conda index CLI, but uses standalone conda-index during builds. (#4828)
• Prefer the standalone conda-index package, instead of conda-build index or conda index, to use faster indexing code. (#4828)
• Mark conda_build.metadata.ns_cfg as pending deprecation. Use conda_build.get_selectors.get_selectors instead. (#4837)
• Mark conda_build.config.python2_fs_encode as pending deprecation. (#4843)
• Mark conda_build.config._ensure_dir as pending deprecation. Use stdlib's pathlib.Path.mkdir(exist_ok=True) or os.makedirs(exist_ok=True) instead. (#4843)

Other

• Format with black and replaced pre-commit's darker hook with black. (#4836)
• Format with isort and add pre-commit isort hook. (#4836)
• Minor code simplification for conda_build.index.ChannelIndex._ensuredirs. (#4843)
• Enable xattr test on macOS. (#4845)

• Update supported Python version in setup.py. (#4804)

Deprecations

• Removed conda <4.13 logic. (#4677)
• conda_build.conda_interface.CrossPlatformStLink is pending deprecation in favor of using os.stat().st_nlink. (#4728)

Docs

• Updated broken links to example conda recipes and updated link to the now archived conda-recipes, with additional links to AnacondaRecipes aggregated feedstocks and conda-forge feedstocks. (#4580)
• Replaced two instances of "Anaconda Cloud" with "anaconda.org". (#4719)

Other

• Update test matrix to run tests on all supported Python versions on Linux. Only run tests on lower & upper Python bounds for Windows and macOS. (#4691)

Full Changelog: 3.23.2...3.23.3

3.23.2

Bug fixes

• conda-build CLI overrode condarc's zstd_compression_level with the default value. (#4650)

Contributors

• @kenodegard
• @mbargull
• @pre-commit-ci[bot]

Full Changelog: 3.23.1...3.23.2

3.23.1

Bug fixes

• Fixed regression when writing link JSON files introduced in #4603. (#4636)
• Update conda dependency. (#4635)

Contributors

• @jezdez
• @kenodegard

Full Changelog: 3.23.0...3.23.1

3.23.0

Enhancements

• Outputs now support both script and files arguments. When both script and an explicit file list are given, the script is run first and then the files given in the explicit file list are packaged. (#4281)
• Add overlinking_ignore_patterns build parameter to speed up recipes where it is not helpful. (#4576)
• Add win-arm64 as a recognized platform (subdir). (#4579)
• Add opt-in environment variable to run conda in isolated mode (python -I -m conda) when invoked from conda-build. This is necessary to fix an issue when packaging conda itself. Alternative solutions (see #4628) are under investigation, so the current implementation will likely change. (#4604, #4625)
• Refactored conda_build.convert.update_lib_contents to use pathlib.Path. Mark test_cli.test_convert as xfail on Windows (something with the GitHub Windows Runner makes this particularly flaky). (#4619, #4626)

Deprecations

• Drop cytoolz dependency. (#4556)
• Removed internal usage of the memoized decorator. (#4593, #4615)
• Remove py2 compatibility code and use of six.py code exported from conda. (#4603)
• conda_build.environ.system_vars is marked as pending deprecation. Use conda_build.environ.os_vars instead. (#4615)
• Conda 4.2 introduced a private conda env that appears to have been a testing environment. This is no longer used and is only included in conda-build as an informational status. Removing in accordance with the feature pending deprecation starting with conda 22.11.0. (#4629)

Docs

• Add s390x selector missing from docs. (#4550)
• Update "Channels and generating an index" docs to specify additional platforms. (#4602)
• Link to https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/tutorials/packaging-projects/ over setuptools for how to pack a project. (#4632)

Other

• Renamed canary recipe from conda.recipe to recipe. (#4584)
• Introduce canary and review builds as part of GitHub CI. (#4608, #4613)
• Removed unused AppVeyor files. (#4562)
• Removed unused .checkignore. (#4564)
• Removed unused .editorconfig. (#4564)
• Removed unused .gitmodules. (#4564)
• Removed unused .lgtm.yml. (#4564)
