The recent approval of a new recipe format (v1) by the Conda Steering Council via CEP-13 and CEP-14 marks an important milestone in the evolution of package management in the conda ecosystem. While the community embraces the potential improvements that come with the new format, we acknowledge that the v1 recipe format is still undergoing development in rattler-build. Consequently, the v0 recipe format remains widely in use, emphasizing the need to balance innovation with support for legacy systems.

The September 2024 releases included updates to conda, conda-build, and conda-libmamba-solver! 🎉 All of these have been released to both main and conda-forge channels.

Changes in Conda 24.9.0/24.9.1​

To update conda, run:

conda install -n base conda=24.9.1

✨ Special announcement ✨​

This is an announcement about an important and positive future change in conda's functionality:

Following feedback from conda users about the pre-configuration of the conda code base to favor channels from Anaconda Inc, we've started the process to deprecate hardcoding Anaconda's channels as the default set of channels in the conda source code, which is a remnant of conda's incubation at the company.

In the future, we will rely on providers of conda distributions, such as miniforge or Anaconda (including miniconda), to pre-configure their preferred channels, e.g. by running the necessary conda config --set channels command.

We're also going to continue to work on improving channel management in the foreseeable future and would love to get your feedback.
