Special announcement

If you have been following the conda project previously, you will notice a change in our version number for this release. We have officially switched to the CalVer versioning system as agreed upon in CEP 8 (Conda Enhancement Proposal).

Please read that CEP for more information, but here is a quick synopsis. We hope that this versioning system and our release schedule will help make our releases more predictable and transparent to the community going forward. We are now committed to making at least one release every two months, but keep in mind that we can (and most likely will) be making minor version releases within this window.

4.12.0 (2022-03-08)

Enhancements

  • Add support for libmamba integrations. (#11193)

    This is a new experimental and opt-in feature that allows use of the new conda-libmamba-solver for an improved user experience, based on the libmamba community project - the library version of the mamba package manager.

    Please follow these steps to try out the new libmamba solver integration:

    1. Make sure you have conda-libmamba-solver installed in your conda base environment.

    2. Try out the solver using the --experimental-solver=libmamba command line option.

      E.g. with a dry-run to install the scipy package:

      conda create -n demo scipy --dry-run --experimental-solver=libmamba

      Or install in an activated conda environment:

      conda activate my-environment
conda install scipy --experimental-solver=libmamba

  • Add periodic GitHub Actions workflow to review old issues in the conda issue tracker and mark them as stale if no feedback is provided in a sensible amount of time, eventually closing them.

  • Add periodic GitHub Actions workflow to lock the comment threads of old issues and pull requests in the conda GitHub repository to surface regressions with new issues instead.

  • Refactor test suite to use more GitHub Actions runners in parallel, reducing total run time by 50%.

  • Switched the issue tracker to use forms with additional questions for bug reporters to help in ticket triage.

  • Add and automatically run pre-commit as part of the CI system to improve the code quality continuously and raise issues in contributed patches early on.

    The used code linters are: flake8, pylint and bandit.

    The Python code formatter black is used as well but is only enforced on changed code in a commit and not to the whole code base at once.

  • Automatically build the conda package upon the successful merge into the master branch and upload it to the conda-canary channel on anaconda.org.

    To try conda out simply run:

    conda install -c conda-canary/label/dev conda

  • Automate adding new issues to public GitHub project board to facilitate issue triage.

  • Update GitHub issue and pull request labels to be more consistent.

  • Start using rever for release management.

4.7.3 (2019-06-14)

4.7.2 (2019-06-10)

Behavior changes

  • unsatisfiability is determined in a slightly different way now. It no longer uses the SAT solver, but rather determines whether any specs have no candidates at all after running through get_reduced_index. This has been faster in benchmarks, but we welcome further data from your use cases about whether this was a good change. (#8741)

  • when using the --only-deps flag for the install command, conda now explicitly records those specs in your history. This primarily serves to reduce conda accidentally removing packages that you have actually requested. (#8766)

Improvements

  • UnsatisfiableError messages are now grouped into categories and explained a bit better. (#8741)

  • –repodata-fn argument can be passed multiple times to have more fallback paths. repodata_fns conda config setting does the same thing, but saves you from needing to do it for every command invocation. (#8741)

Bug fixes

  • fix channel flip-flopping that was happening when adding a channel other than earlier ones (#8741)

  • refactor flow control for multiple repodata files to not use exceptions (#8741)

  • force conda to use only old .tar.bz2 files if conda-build <3.18.3 is installed. Conda-build breaks when inspecting file contents, and this is fixed in conda-build 3.18.3 (#8741)

  • use --force when using rsync to improve behavior with folders that may exist in the destination somehow. (#8750)

  • handle EPERM errors when renaming, because MacOS lets you remove or create files, but not rename them. Thanks Apple. (#8755)

  • fix conda removing packages installed via install with --only-deps flag when either update or remove commands are run. See behavior changes above. (#8766)

4.7.1 (2019-05-30)

Improvements

  • Base initial solver specs map on explicitly requested specs (new and historic) (#8689)

  • Improve anonymization of automatic error reporting (#8715)

  • Add option to keep using .tar.bz2 files, in case new .conda isn’t working for whatever reason (#8723)

Bug fixes

  • fix parsing hyphenated PyPI specs (change hyphens in versions to .) (#8688)

  • fix PrefixRecord creation when file inputs are .conda files (#8689)

  • fix PrefixRecord creation for pip-installed packages (#8689)

  • fix progress bar stopping at 75% (no extract progress with new libarchive) (#8689)

  • preserve pre-4.7 download() interface in conda.exports (#8698)

  • virtual packages (such as cuda) are represented by leading double underscores by convention, to avoid confusion with existing single underscore packages that serve other purposes (#8738)

Deprecations/Breaking Changes

  • The --prune flag no longer does anything. Pruning is implicitly the standard behavior now as a result of the initial solver specs coming from explicitly requested specs. Conda will remove packages that are not explicitly requested and are not required directly or indirectly by any explicitly installed package.

Docs improvements

  • Document removal of the free channel from defaults (#8682)

  • Add reference to conda config --describe (#8712)

  • Add a tutorial for .condarc modification (#8737)

4.5.0 (2018-03-20)

New Feature Highlights

  • A new flag, ‘–envs’, has been added to ‘conda search’. In this mode, ‘conda search’ will look for the package query in existing conda environments on your system. If ran as UID 0 (i.e. root) on unix systems or as an Administrator user on Windows, all known conda environments for all users on the system will be searched. For example, ‘conda search --envs openssl’ will show the openssl version and environment location for all conda-installed openssl packages.

4.4.0 (2017-12-20)

New Feature Highlights

  • conda activate: The logic and mechanisms underlying environment activation have been reworked. With conda 4.4, conda activate and conda deactivate are now the preferred commands for activating and deactivating environments. You’ll find they are much more snappy than the source activate and source deactivate commands from previous conda versions. The conda activate command also has advantages of (1) being universal across all OSes, shells, and platforms, and (2) not having path collisions with scripts from other packages like python virtualenv’s activate script.

  • constrained, optional dependencies: Conda now allows a package to constrain versions of other packages installed alongside it, even if those constrained packages are not themselves hard dependencies for that package. In other words, it lets a package specify that, if another package ends up being installed into an environment, it must at least conform to a certain version specification. In effect, constrained dependencies are a type of “reverse” dependency. It gives a tool to a parent package to exclude other packages from an environment that might otherwise want to depend on it.

    Constrained optional dependencies are supported starting with conda-build 3.0 (via [conda/conda-build#2001[(https://github.com/conda/conda-build/pull/2001)). A new run_constrained keyword, which takes a list of package specs similar to the run keyword, is recognized under the requirements section of meta.yaml. For backward compatibility with versions of conda older than 4.4, a requirement may be listed in both the run and the run_constrained section. In that case older versions of conda will see the package as a hard dependency, while conda 4.4 will understand that the package is meant to be optional.

    Optional, constrained dependencies end up in repodata.json under a constrains keyword, parallel to the depends keyword for a package’s hard dependencies.

  • enhanced package query language: Conda has a built-in query language for searching for and matching packages, what we often refer to as MatchSpec. The MatchSpec is what users input on the command line when they specify packages for create, install, update, and remove operations. With this release, MatchSpec (rather than a regex) becomes the default input for conda search. We have also substantially enhanced our MatchSpec query language.

    For example,

    conda install conda-forge::python

    is now a valid command, which specifies that regardless of the active list of channel priorities, the python package itself should come from the conda-forge channel. As before, the difference between python=3.5 and python==3.5 is that the first contains a “fuzzy” version while the second contains an exact version. The fuzzy spec will match all python packages with versions >=3.5 and <3.6. The exact spec will match only python packages with version 3.5, 3.5.0, 3.5.0.0, etc. The canonical string form for a MatchSpec is thus

    (channel::)name(version(build_string))

    which should feel natural to experienced conda users. Specifications however are often necessarily more complicated than this simple form can support, and for these situations we’ve extended the specification to include an optional square bracket [] component containing comma-separated key-value pairs to allow matching on most any field contained in a package’s metadata. Take, for example,

    conda search 'conda-forge/linux-64::*[md5=e42a03f799131d5af4196ce31a1084a7]' --info

    which results in information for the single package

    cytoolz 0.8.2 py35_0
--------------------
file name   : cytoolz-0.8.2-py35_0.tar.bz2
name        : cytoolz
version     : 0.8.2
build string: py35_0
build number: 0
size        : 1.1 MB
arch        : x86_64
platform    : Platform.linux
license     : BSD 3-Clause
subdir      : linux-64
url         : https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/linux-64/cytoolz-0.8.2-py35_0.tar.bz2
md5         : e42a03f799131d5af4196ce31a1084a7
dependencies:
  - python 3.5*
  - toolz >=0.8.0

    The square bracket notation can also be used for any field that we match on outside the package name, and will override information given in the “simple form” position. To give a contrived example, python==3.5[version='>=2.7,<2.8'] will match 2.7.* versions and not 3.5.

  • environments track user-requested state: Building on our enhanced MatchSpec query language, conda environments now also track and differentiate (a) packages added to an environment because of an explicit user request from (b) packages brought into an environment to satisfy dependencies. For example, executing

    conda install conda-forge::scikit-learn

    will confine all future changes to the scikit-learn package in the environment to the conda-forge channel, until the spec is changed again. A subsequent command conda install scikit-learn=0.18 would drop the conda-forge channel restriction from the package. And in this case, scikit-learn is the only user-defined spec, so the solver chooses dependencies from all configured channels and all available versions.

  • errors posted to core maintainers: In previous versions of conda, unexpected errors resulted in a request for users to consider posting the error as a new issue on conda’s github issue tracker. In conda 4.4, we’ve implemented a system for users to opt-in to sending that same error report via an HTTP POST request directly to the core maintainers.

    When an unexpected error is encountered, users are prompted with the error report followed by a [y/N] input. Users can elect to send the report, with ‘no’ being the default response. Users can also permanently opt-in or opt-out, thereby skipping the prompt altogether, using the boolean report_errors configuration parameter.

  • various UI improvements: To push through some of the big leaps with transactions in conda 4.3, we accepted some regressions on progress bars and other user interface features. All of those indicators of progress, and more, have been brought back and further improved.

  • aggressive updates: Conda now supports an aggressive_update_packages configuration parameter that holds a sequence of MatchSpec strings, in addition to the pinned_packages configuration parameter. Currently, the default value contains the packages ca-certificates, certifi, and openssl. When manipulating configuration with the conda config command, use of the --system and --env flags will be especially helpful here. For example,

    conda config --add aggressive_update_packages defaults::pyopenssl --system

    would ensure that, system-wide, solves on all environments enforce using the latest version of pyopenssl from the defaults channel.

    conda config --add pinned_packages python=2.7 --env

    would lock all solves for the current active environment to python versions matching 2.7.*.

  • other configuration improvements: In addition to conda config --describe, which shows detailed descriptions and default values for all available configuration parameters, we have a new conda config --write-default command. This new command simply writes the contents of conda config --describe to a condarc file, which is a great starter template. Without additional arguments, the command will write to the .condarc file in the user’s home directory. The command also works with the --system, --env, and --file flags to write the contents to alternate locations.

    Conda exposes a tremendous amount of flexibility via configuration. For more information, The Conda Configuration Engine for Power Users blog post is a good resource.

4.3.0 (2016-12-14) Safety

New Features

  • Unlink and Link Packages in a Single Transaction: In the past, conda hasn’t always been safe and defensive with its disk-mutating actions. It has gleefully clobbered existing files, and mid-operation failures leave environments completely broken. In some of the most severe examples, conda can appear to “uninstall itself.” With this release, the unlinking and linking of packages for an executed command is done in a single transaction. If a failure occurs for any reason while conda is mutating files on disk, the environment will be returned its previous state. While we’ve implemented some pre-transaction checks (verifying package integrity for example), it’s impossible to anticipate every failure mechanism. In some circumstances, OS file permissions cannot be fully known until an operation is attempted and fails. And conda itself is not without bugs. Moving forward, unforeseeable failures won’t be catastrophic. (#3833, #4030)

  • Progressive Fetch and Extract Transactions: Like package unlinking and linking, the download and extract phases of package handling have also been given transaction-like behavior. The distinction is the rollback on error is limited to a single package. Rather than rolling back the download and extract operation for all packages, the single-package rollback prevents the need for having to re-download every package if an error is encountered. (#4021, #4030)

  • Generic- and Python-Type Noarch/Universal Packages: Along with conda-build 2.1.0, a noarch/universal type for python packages is officially supported. These are much like universal python wheels. Files in a python noarch package are linked into a prefix just like any other conda package, with the following additional features

    1. conda maps the site-packages directory to the correct location for the python version in the environment,

    2. conda maps the python-scripts directory to either \(PREFIX/bin or \)PREFIX/Scripts depending on platform,

    3. conda creates the python entry points specified in the conda-build recipe, and

    4. conda compiles pyc files at install time when prefix write permissions are guaranteed.

    Python noarch packages must be “fully universal.” They cannot have OS- or python version-specific dependencies. They cannot have OS- or python version-specific “scripts” files. If these features are needed, traditional conda packages must be used. (#3712)

  • Multi-User Package Caches: While the on-disk package cache structure has been preserved, the core logic implementing package cache handling has had a complete overhaul. Writable and read-only package caches are fully supported. (#4021)

  • Python API Module: An oft requested feature is the ability to use conda as a python library, obviating the need to “shell out” to another python process. Conda 4.3 includes a conda.cli.python_api module that facilitates this use case. While we maintain the user-facing command-line interface, conda commands can be executed in-process. There is also a conda.exports module to facilitate longer-term usage of conda as a library across conda conda releases. However, conda’s python code is considered internal and private, subject to change at any time across releases. At the moment, conda will not install itself into environments other than its original install environment. (#4028)

  • Remove All Locks: Locking has never been fully effective in conda, and it often created a false sense of security. In this release, multi-user package cache support has been implemented for improved safety by hard-linking packages in read-only caches to the user’s primary user package cache. Still, users are cautioned that undefined behavior can result when conda is running in multiple process and operating on the same package caches and/or environments. (#3862)

Deprecations/Breaking Changes

  • Conda will refuse to clobber existing files that are not within the unlink instructions of the transaction. At the risk of being user-hostile, it’s a step forward for conda. We do anticipate some growing pains. For example, conda will not clobber packages that have been installed with pip (or any other package manager). In other instances, conda packages that contain overlapping file paths but are from different package families will not install at the same time. The --force command line flag is the escape hatch. Using --force will let your operation proceed, but also makes clear that you want conda to do something it considers unsafe.

  • Conda signed packages have been removed in 4.3. Vulnerabilities existed. An illusion of security is worse than not having the feature at all. We will be incorporating The Update Framework into conda in a future feature release. (#4064)

  • Conda 4.4 will drop support for older versions of conda-build.

4.2.0 (2016-07-28) Configuration

New Features

  • New Configuration Engine: Configuration and “operating context” are the foundation of conda’s functionality. Conda now has the ability to pull configuration information from a multitude of on-disk locations, including .d directories and a .condarc file within a conda environment), along with full CONDA_ environment variable support. Helpful validation errors are given for improperly-specified configuration. Full documentation updates pending. (#2537, #3160, #3178)

  • New Exception Handling Engine: Previous releases followed a pattern of premature exiting (with hard calls to sys.exit() when exceptional circumstances were encountered. This release replaces over 100 sys.exit calls with python exceptions. For conda developers, this will result in tests that are easier to write. For developers using conda, this is a first step on a long path toward conda being directly importable. For conda users, this will eventually result in more helpful and descriptive errors messages. (#2899, #2993, #3016, #3152, #3045)

  • Empty Environments: Conda can now create “empty” environments when no initial packages are specified, alleviating a common source of confusion. (#3072, #3174)

  • Conda in Private Env: Conda can now be configured to live within its own private environment. While it’s not yet default behavior, this represents a first step toward separating the root environment into a “conda private” environment and a “user default” environment. (#3068)

  • Regex Version Specification: Regular expressions are now valid version specifiers. For example, ^1\.[5-8]\.1$|2.2. (#2933)

  • allow --use-local to be used along with -c (–channels) and –override-channels. --override-channels now requires either -c or –use-local

  • allow paths in has_prefix to be quoted, to allow for spaces in paths on Windows

  • retain Unix style path separators for prefixes in has_prefix on Windows (if the placeholder path uses /, replace it with a path that uses /, not )

  • fix bug in --use-local due to API changes in conda-build

  • include user site directories in conda info -s

  • add conda package --ls-files to list files in a package

  • add ability to pin specs in an environment. To pin a spec, add a file called pinned to the environment’s conda-meta directory with the specs to pin. Pinned specs are always kept installed, unless the --no-pin flag is used.

  • add ability to disable self update of conda, by setting “self_update: False” in .condarc

  • Try installing packages using the old way of just installing the maximum versions of things first. This provides a major speedup of solving the package specifications in the cases where this scheme works.

  • Don’t include python=3.3 in the specs automatically for the Python 3 version of conda. This allows you to do “conda create -n env package” for a package that only has a Python 2 version without specifying “python=2”. This change has no effect in Python 2.

  • On Unix, activate and deactivate now remove the root environment from the PATH. This should prevent “bleed through” issues with commands not installed in the activated environment but that are installed in the root environment. If you have “setup.py develop” installed conda on Unix, you should run this command again, as the activate and deactivate scripts have changed.

  • Begin work to support Python 3.4.

  • conda now uses pseudo-boolean constraints in the SAT solver. This allows it to search for all versions at once, rather than only the latest (issue #491).

  • Conda contains a brand new logic submodule for converting pseudo-boolean constraints into SAT clauses.

3.1.1 (2014-03-07)

  • check if directory exists, fixed issue #591

3.1.0 (2014-03-07)
