Release Notes

✨ Highlights

You can now use pixi global tree to visualize the dependency tree of a global environment.

And you can install subsets of packages now works, for both conda and pypi packages:

# Define which packages you want to install and which you want to skip.
pixi install --only packageA --only packageB --skip packageC

# Using this modified environment without updating it again can be done with:
pixi run --as-is my_command
pixi shell --as-is  

Breaking Change

Only for users using preview = ["pixi-build"]:
In #4410 we've made package.name optional. e.g.

[package]
name = "my-package" # This is now optional
version = "0.1.0" # This is now optional

Soon, the backends will be able to automatically get those values from pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, package.xml etc.
However, this results in the lockfiles not being --locked anymore.
Running pixi lock or pixi update should fix this!
