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.
The January 2024 releases included updates to four conda community projects: conda, conda-build, conda-libmamba-solver, and conda-index! π Each of these have been released to both main
and conda-forge
.
To update conda, run:
conda install -n base conda=24.1.2
The November 2023 releases included updates to three conda community projects: conda, conda-build, and conda-libmamba-solver! π Each of these have been released to both main
and conda-forge
.
To update conda, run:
conda install -n base conda=23.11.0
New menuinst
v2 support!
The September 2023 releases included updates to five conda community projects: conda, conda-build, conda-libmamba-solver, conda-index, and pycosat! π Each of these have been released to both main
and conda-forge
.
To update conda, run:
conda install -n base conda=23.9.0
Conda's default solver will change to conda-libmamba-solver
in a special 23.10.0 release in the near future!
You can already benefit from conda-libmamba-solver
today by configuring your conda installation to use it (e.g. by running conda config --set solver libmamba
).
The current "classic" solver is based on pycosat/Picosat and will remain part of conda for the foreseeable future. A fallback is possible and available.
Additional details on this change as well as the full announcement can be found in the conda 23.9.0 changelog.
Over a year ago, the conda team at Anaconda, together with conda developers at Quansight and QuantStack, announced the release of a new solver for conda based on the libraries that the mamba project had developed on top of the venerable libsolv project.
The default solver change for conda will be occurring in a special 23.10.0 release (not in 23.9.0). See the special announcement here.
conda-libmamba-solver
will be part of the various installers. The default conda solver is still classic
. Look out for the release of miniconda, Anaconda Distribution and miniforge soon.libmamba
. classic
will be available via --solver=classic
, if needed.May releases are here! π Conda 23.5.0, conda-build 3.25.0, and conda-libmamba-solver 23.5.0 are now available on both main and conda-forge:
To update conda, run:
conda install -n base conda=23.5.0
The long-awaited conda doctor
subcommand plugin has been implemented! The related conda issue is over nine years old and has been a regularly requested feature. The conda doctor
command enables conda users to detect any packages with files missing (i.e., corrupt packages) in their conda environment.
