New in this release

• Custom Plugins — Custom plugins can now be defined without recompiling Devbox. This means you can create your own Plugins, and add them to your Devbox project by adding them to the include section of your devbox.json
  • See our Creating Plugins docs for details on how to write your own plugin
  • Check the examples directory in this repo for an example plugin
• Improved Search Results — devbox search and devbox add have several enhancements to make finding packages more reliable.
  • Devbox search uses our new v2 search endpoint, which is faster, more reliable, and more complete than our previous endpoint
  • You can now search for a package with a version number (e.g., nodejs@20) to get a better idea of how the reference will resolve
  • If a package is not in our search index or if our search index is unreachable, Devbox fall back to installing directly with Nix. This is useful for references like stdenv.cc.cc.lib which are not easily indexed by our search service.
  • Devbox’s search index can now search and add nodePackages from the Nix repository.
• Insecure Package Warnings and Override — Devbox will now warn you if a package that you wish to install has been marked insecure, and provide the reason why the package has been marked insecure.
  • If you wish to use an insecure package, you can install it using devbox add <pkg> --allow-insecure. For example, to add nodejs@16, you can run devbox add nodejs@16 --allow-insecure

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a fork bomb that could occur when adding certain packages, like coreutils (see #1260)
• Fixed an error that could occur while cleaning up scripts (see #1252)
• Added a newline at the end of all generated files (see #1251)

Thanks to

• @hezhizhen for their contributions to this release
