Conda is moving our social media presence from Twitter/X to Mastodon and LinkedIn at the start of 2024. It's past time to move into spaces that are welcoming and more in line with our community values.

Going forward, you can find us at

• @conda@fosstodon.org on Mastodon
• Conda Community on LinkedIn

If you are on either platform then please follow and link to those accounts, or, just use the #conda hashtag.

We won't close the Twitter account. We will update it to say it is no longer active, and point users to the conda communities on Mastodon and LinkedIn. If you are active on Twitter, we encourage you to also use the #conda hashtag.

We hope to see you on Mastodon and LinkedIn in 2024!

PS: conda-forge is discussing making the same move.

The November 2023 releases included updates to three conda community projects: conda, conda-build, and conda-libmamba-solver! 🎉 Each of these have been released to both main and conda-forge.

Changes in Conda 23.11.0​

To update conda, run:

conda install -n base conda=23.11.0

📢 Special Announcement 📢​

New menuinst v2 support!

We recently pushed out a new theme to the documentation sites for conda and conda-build. This theme is also available for all conda related projects to use as a Sphinx theme (check out the conda-sphinx-theme project).

With this 23.10.0 release we are changing the default solver of conda to conda-libmamba-solver! 🥳 🚀​

libmamba builds on libsolv, a much faster solver from openSUSE. The previous "classic" solver is based on pycosat/Picosat and will remain part of conda for the foreseeable future. A fallback is possible and available.

The September 2023 releases included updates to five conda community projects: conda, conda-build, conda-libmamba-solver, conda-index, and pycosat! 🎉 Each of these have been released to both main and conda-forge.

Changes in Conda 23.9.0​

To update conda, run:

conda install -n base conda=23.9.0

📢 Special Announcement 📢​

You can already benefit from conda-libmamba-solver today by configuring your conda installation to use it (e.g. by running conda config --set solver libmamba).

The current "classic" solver is based on pycosat/Picosat and will remain part of conda for the foreseeable future. A fallback is possible and available.

Additional details on this change as well as the full announcement can be found in the conda 23.9.0 changelog.

Changes in Conda 23.7.0/23.7.1/23.7.2​

✨ What's New? ✨​

In the latest release of conda, new pre- and post-command plugin hooks that allow you to run your code before or after a conda subcommand are now available, along with a much improved subcommand plugin hook and plugin infrastructure. There is also a new health check for conda doctor that detects altered packages in an environment by comparing expected and computed sha256 checksums, as well as a much-expanded API and command docs (conda env!).

✨ What's New? ✨​

The long-awaited conda doctor subcommand plugin has been implemented! The related conda issue is over nine years old and has been a regularly requested feature. The conda doctor command enables conda users to detect any packages with files missing (i.e., corrupt packages) in their conda environment.
