  • Upcoming conda 4.10.0 release (planned around end of March, early April)
    • Formally dropping support for Python 2.7, Python < 3.6 (in the base environment)
      • https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/10180
      • conda-forge, defaults have not supported Py2.7 since 4.8.3 (Mar 2020), Py3.5 since 4.5.11 (Aug 2018)
      • This only impacts the base environment. Support for non-base Py2.7, < 3.6 envs will continue indefinitely.
    • Introducing support for artifact verification
      • First release: sign and verifies metadata in repodata.json
      • Currently only available as pilot program to subset of Anaconda customers
      • Mid- to long-term goals include:
        • Making signed metadata on defaults
        • Allowing channels like conda-forge to sign packages & metadata
      • Soliciting community input on signature specifications, functional requirements, etc.
