What's new in this release

Automatic @latest

• Adding a package without a version number will now automatically install the latest version of the package from our Index. This is equivalent to running devbox add pkg@latest from the CLI
• Pinning a specific Nixpkg commit for the entire project in your devbox.json is now deprecated. This release still maintains backwards compatibility, but the nixpkg commit will be removed from the config in an upcoming release.
• See our guide on pinning packages for more information

Devbox Global Improvements

• devbox global pull can now pull and activate a global profile from a tarball.
• You can now use update, services, and run with devbox global.
• Running devbox run without an argument will list the available global scripts

devbox create

• Our new create subcommand makes it easy to create a new devbox project from a template.
• Our current templates are based on the projects in our examples repo

MariaDB Plugin

• Devbox can now automatically configure MariaDB packages using our Plugin.
• Click here to see the example project, or read the MariaDB docs for more detail

PHP Plugin improvement

• PHP plugin now lets you edit the php.ini file for your project.

Performance Improvements

• Projects with a large number of packages are now significantly faster when running devbox add

Bug Fixes

• Devbox no longer overwrites XDG_DATA_DIRS, instead it will prepend to the path
• Fixed a bug that caused plugins to function incorrectly with certain Nix pnames
• Fixed pip plugin autodetection
• Fixed a bug that prevented Devbox from installing path: flakes without a default package
• Changes to local flakes should now update when the user runs devbox install
