Features
This release introduces a suite of flox generations commands, which allows lightweight version control of environments that are pushed to FloxHub. Every change to a FloxHub environment creates a new generation. Changes can be very quickly undone with flox generations rollback or you can choose a specific generation with flox generations switch. To learn more, consult the documentation at https://flox.dev/docs/concepts/generations/
Unfortunately, due to an unavoidable schema change, FloxHub environments that are created or modified with Flox >= v1.7.0 will no longer be usable with older versions of Flox. Other users of that environment will need to upgrade Flox if they receive the following error:
Invalid version at line 1 column 12
Improvements
- The
flox activatecommand now cacheszshcompletions in$FLOX_ENV_CACHE/.zcompdumpto speed up the repeat activation of environments. The cache is rebuilt when environments are activated in a different order or combination, which can be debugged withflox activate -v. - Fixed a bug in
flox init --auto-setupfor Yarn projects that now ensures a compatible version of NodeJS will be installed. - Fixed a bug with the handling of invalid characters (e.g.
=) in package paths. - Fixed a compatibility bug that was introduced in Flox v1.5.0 which caused environments that were locked with much older Flox v1.3.x versions to no longer build.
Note: Flox v1.7.0 contained an installation bug that caused failures with install-flox-action. This was caught during release testing, and v1.7.0 was never announced.
