What’s New in This Release

Faster Install Performance

Building on perf improvements in Devbox 0.6.0, we’ve streamlined our package install process and removed some inefficiencies to speed up adding, removing, and upgrading packages. Users should see big improvements when adding or updating packages, and when using devbox global.

We improved how we cache the Devbox environment so we can avoid recomputing the full shell environment whenever a package is added or removed.
To speed up host shell startup times, we also no longer recompute the devbox global shellenv when a new host shell starts.
We refactored our shellenv generation code to remove redundant function calls and recomputation of the project’s shell environment.
We now check the cache status for user packages concurrently, which should improve performance on slow connections.

Devbox Scripts now Exit on Failure

Scripts defined in your devbox.json will now run with the bash errexit flag on by default. This means that when a line in your script returns an error code, Devbox will stop execution and print an error to your terminal.

For example, if you have the following script defined:

"error_test": [
	  "echo 'Hello'",
	  "foo", // Not a real command, will throw an error
	  "echo 'Goodbye'" // This line will not execute
],

Running the script will return the following:

> devbox run error_test

Hello
/workspace/.devbox/gen/scripts/error_test.sh: line 6: foo: command not found
Error: error running script "error_test" in Devbox: exit status 127

This setting only applies to project scripts, and will not apply to devbox global or to init_hooks. You can let your script continue executing after an error by adding set +e to the begginning of the script:

"pass_test": [
	  "set +e",
	  "echo 'Hello'",
	  "foo", // Throws an error, does not stop execution
	  "echo 'Goodbye'"
],

Better Scripting with Project Environment Variables

Devbox now sets a few environment variables that can be used for better scripting within a Devbox shell environment. These environment variables will be set for your current project whenever you run devbox shell, devbox run, or devbox services:

DEVBOX_PROJECT_ROOT: Set to the root directory of your current project, where the devbox.json is kept
DEVBOX_CONFIG_DIR: Set to $DEVBOX_PROJECT_ROOT/devbox.d, which is where package level config should be stored
DEVBOX_PACKAGE_DIR: Set to $DEVBOX_PROJECT_ROOT/.devbox/virtenv/.wrappers, which is where package binaries, libraries, and other files for the current project are stored

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug affecting mysql + mariadb plugins that caused caused devbox services up to fail
Fixed a security vulnerability with the codeclysm package
