Release Notes

✨ Highlights

Pixi now supports --skip on install which means you can skip the installation of a package. Which can be useful for things like layering Docker images.

Setting no-build-isolation now affects the order in which PyPI packages are installed. Packages are installed in that order: - conda packages in one go - packages with build isolation in one go - packages without build isolation installed in the order they are added to no-build-isolation

Pixi build got a lot of improvements, including the ability to use build backends from source. Starting with this release you can get build backends from conda-forge. We will release stable versions of the build backends on conda-forge, and we maintain a rolling distribution on the pixi-build-backends channel. The documentation has been updated to reflect this change.

⚠️ Breaking Change

The environment variable overwriting logic is changed. Previously, the variables in your own environment would overwrite the variables set in the Pixi manifest. This is now reversed, meaning that the variables set in the Pixi manifest will overwrite the variables in your own environment. More info can be found in the documentation.
