Notable features and fixes

This release addresses several bugs and adds new improvements, including:

  • Changes to the format of error messages and output to improve readability
  • flox containerize can now produce images that can be run in userspace. This is configured in the manifest by setting the containerize.config.user value to a user:group tuple.
  • Fixed a performance regression when using flox activate with direnv, where direnv may wait for a backgrounded process that checks for available environment upgrades.
  • Performance improvements, especially on the activation of environments.
  • A new flox config option installer_channel can be set to "qa", "nightly", or "stable" in order to control the behavior of upgrade checks for the Flox CLI.
  • Commands now give precedence to activated environments over the default environment, suppressing the environment selector prompt in some cases.
  • Upgrade notifications are no longer being duplicated within already activated environments.
  • flox delete now performs its underlying Nix store work asynchronously so it does not cause user delay
  • Sourcing of profile scripts has been refactored for all active environments, allowing aliases to be used in nested activation.
  • If RUST_BACKTRACE or RUST_LIB_BACKTRACE are set to 1 the entire backtrace will be sent to stderr. This is for enhanced debugging and bypasses several other filters that logs go through in most scenarios.
