Release Notes

✨ Highlights

There's a new way to include variants in to a pixi workspace! Use
build-variants-files to reference external variant definitions from
YAML files.

[workspace]
build-variants-files = [
    "./pinning/conda_build_config.yaml",
    "./variants/overrides.yaml",
]

Read more about this feature in the docs.

We deprecated the following syntax in the pixi manifest and give explicit warning when it's used:

• [project]: should be replaced by [workspace].
• [build-dependencies] and [host-dependencies]: should be replaced by [dependencies].

If you're working on pixi-build backend note that we deprecated build-api v0.

And we also fixed a lot of things!
