Release Notes

✨ Highlights

Want a conda/mamba like workflow for Pixi workspaces? This release brings registered workspaces!

You can now register your Pixi workspace and then use its name to refer to it from anywhere on your machine.
For example:

cd path/to/a/pixi/workspace
pixi workspace register
cd
pixi run --workspace workspace-name task-name
pixi shell -w workspace-name
pixi shell-hook -w workspace-name

You can also specify constraints for packages that may be part of your environment without explicitly requiring them (similar to run_constraints for Conda packages):

[constraints]
openssl = ">=3"
