The October 2024 releases included updates to conda-package-handling and conda-package-streaming! 🎉 All of these have been released to both main and conda-forge channels.

Changes in conda-package-handling 2.4.0​

To update conda-package-handling to the latest version, run:

conda install -n base conda-package-handling=2.4.0

✨ What's New? ✨​

  • Expose API keyword and CLI argument to control which component(s) of the .conda artifact is listed in cph list.
  • Allow cph list on remote .conda artifact URLs.

🔧 What Got Fixed? 🔧​

  • Use force_zip64=True when directly creating .conda files. Allows >2GB (compressed) size.
  • Replace .conda or .tar.bz2 extensions from end of string only instead of str.replace(...).

Other​

  • Improved type annotations on an internal function.

Changes in conda-package-streaming 0.11.0​

To update conda-package-streaming to the latest version, run:

conda install -n base conda-package-streaming=0.11.0

✨ What's New? ✨​

  • Add Python 3.12 to test matrix.
  • Pass Python tarfile.extractall(filter="fully_trusted") in addition to internal filtering, when available, to avoid Python 3.12+ DeprecationWarning.
  • Improve umask handling.
  • Add transmute_stream(...) to create .conda from (TarFile, TarInfo) iterators, allowing more creative data sources than just .tar.bz2 inputs.
  • Add create module with TarFile interface for creating .conda archives, also used by transmute.
  • Pass encoding="utf-8" to TarFile instead of the system default, avoiding rare potential issues with non-ASCII filenames.
