conda v3.18.0 Release Notes
Release Date: 2015-09-28 // over 8 years ago-
- allow Python to be updated in root environment on Windows, #1657
- add defaults to specs after getting pinned specs (allows to pin a different version of Python than what is installed)
- show what older versions are in the solutions in the resolve debug log
- fix some issues with Python 3.5
- respect --no-deps when installing from .tar or .tar.bz2
- avoid infinite recursion with NoPackagesFound and conda update --all --file
- fix conda update --file
- toposort: Added special case to remove 'pip' dependency from 'python'
- show dotlog messages during hint generation with --debug
- disable the max_only heuristic during hint generation
- new version comparison algorithm, which consistently compares any version string, and better handles version strings using things like alpha, beta, rc, post, and dev. This should remove any inconsistent version comparison that would lead to conda installing an incorrect version.
- use the trash in rm_rf, meaning more things will get the benefit of the trash system on Windows
- add the ability to pass the --file argument multiple times
- add conda upgrade alias for conda update
- add update_dependencies condarc option and --update-deps/--no-update-deps command line flags
- allow specs with conda update --all
- add --show-channel-urls and --no-show-channel-urls command line options
- add always_copy condarc option
- conda clean properly handles multiple envs directories. This breaks backwards compatibility with some of the --json output. Some of the old --json keys are kept for backwards compatibility.
