To update conda, run:
conda install -n base conda=24.9.1
This is an announcement about an important and positive future change in conda's functionality:
Following feedback from conda users about the pre-configuration of the conda code base to favor channels from Anaconda Inc, we've started the process to deprecate hardcoding Anaconda's channels as the default set of channels in the conda source code, which is a remnant of conda's incubation at the company.
In the future, we will rely on providers of conda distributions, such as miniforge or Anaconda (including miniconda), to pre-configure their preferred channels, e.g. by running the necessary conda config --set channels command.
We're also going to continue to work on improving channel management in the foreseeable future and would love to get your feedback.
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.
To update conda, run:
conda install -n base conda=23.11.0
New menuinst v2 support!
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.
To update conda, run:
conda install -n base conda=23.9.0
Conda's default solver will change to conda-libmamba-solver in a special 23.10.0 release in the near future!
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.
