opam 2.1.3 releaseOn , by
Feedback on this post is welcomed on Discuss!
We are pleased to announce the minor release of opam 2.1.3.
This opam release consists of backported fixes:
- Fix
opam init
andopam init --reinit
when thejobs
variable has been set in the opamrc or the current config. (#5056) opam var
no longer fails if no switch is set (#5025)- Setting a variable with option
--switch <sw>
fails instead of writing an invalidswitch-config
file (#5027) - Handle external dependencies when updating switch state pin status (all pins), instead as a post pin action (only when called with
opam pin
(#5046) - Remove windows double printing on commands and their output (#4940)
- Stop Zypper from upgrading packages on updates on OpenSUSE (#4978)
- Clearer error message if a command doesn't exist (#4112)
- Actually allow multiple state caches to co-exist (#4554)
- Fix some empty conflict explanations (#4373)
- Fix an internal error on admin repository upgrade from OPAM 1.2 (#4965)
and improvements:
- When inferring a 2.1+ switch invariant from 2.0 base packages, don't filter out pinned packages as that causes very wide invariants for pinned compiler packages (#4501)
- Some optimisations to
opam list --installable
queries combined with other filters (#4311) - Improve performance of some opam list combinations (e.g.
--available
,--installable
) (#4999) - Improve performance of
opam list --conflicts-with
when combined with other filters (#4999) - Improve performance of
opam show
by as much as 300% when the package to show is given explicitly or is unique (#4997)(#4172) - When a field is defined in switch and global scope, try to determine the scope also by checking switch selection (#5027)
You can also find API changes in the release note.
Opam installation instructions (unchanged):
From binaries: run
bash -c "sh <(curl -fsSL https://opam.ocaml.org/install.sh) --version 2.1.3"
or download manually from the Github "Releases" page to your PATH. In this case, don't forget to run
opam init --reinit -ni
to enable sandboxing if you had version 2.0.0~rc manually installed or to update you sandbox script.From source, using opam:
opam update; opam install opam-devel
(then copy the opam binary to your PATH as explained, and don't forget to run
opam init --reinit -ni
to enable sandboxing if you had version 2.0.0~rc manually installed or to update your sandbox script)From source, manually: see the instructions in the README.
We hope you enjoy this new minor version, and remain open to bug reports and suggestions.
