1.21.5

Bug fixes:

• Make --skip-existing respect remote channels (s3, file, anaconda.org) #1102
• Reduce always_include_files glob fail exit to a warning #1101
• Fail more gracefully when finding a vcs executable fails #1100
• Add better error when PyPI fails with XMLRPC. Add tests for published examples. #1098
• Fix lack of 'call' in windows test activate script that was terminating tests early #1097
• Take newest version from PyPI when creating skeleton #1092
• Fix unicode encoding error in conda skeleton pypi #1092
• Support PEP420 namespace packages (write into existing folders,
  but raise error rather than overwrite existing files.) #1090
• Fix an error where an intermediate None value broke jinja2 rendering #1088
• Add missing support for include_recipe in meta.yaml #1085

1.21.4

Bug fixes:

• Choose newest Pypi skeleton version; fix unicode encoding in pypi metadata #1092
• Add Numpy 1.11 to all_versions dict for autocompletion #1078
• Fix MSVC 3.3/3.4 builds when Win7SDK not installed #1072
• Fix an error with build number, when build number is None or otherwise invalid #1088

Known issues:

• Environment activation requires conda >=4.1.4. The activate.bat script does not look in the right place for the activate.d folder.
• The test suite on Linux and Mac fails the python-build, python-run, and python-build-run tests, because an errant __conda-version__.txt file is somehow present. It is not clear where it comes from, and each of these tests pass when run individually. If you have mysterious issues, and you use __conda-version__.txt or files like it, please file an issue.

1.21.3

Bug fixes:

• Fix a regression in Windows, where a compiler was a hard requirement, and was not always showing up, anyway. #1049

Contributors:

• @msarahan

1.21.2

Bug fixes / Improvements:

• revert some MSVC activation logic to still call vcvarsall directly in build script
• fix Windows testing for binary prefix replacement (not done on win)
• Add a warning message when conda-build can't create an environment due to unsatisfiable dependencies
• Improve notion of whether a recipe uses a VCS in its metadata, or in its build

Known issues:

• Environment activation on Windows will not work until Conda 4.1.4 is released. The activate.bat script does not look in the right place for the activate.d folder.
• The test suite on Linux and Mac fails the python-build, python-run, and python-build-run tests, because an errant __conda-version__.txt file is somehow present. It is not clear where it comes from, and each of these tests pass when run individually. If you have mysterious issues, and you use __conda-version__.txt or files like it, please file an issue.

1.21.1

Bug fixes / Improvements:

• Simplify MSVC activation, using distutil's existing logic #1036
• Correctly interpret paths returned from git on windows, trying cygpath, falling back to conda regex #1037
• Fix ability to disable anaconda upload in condarc #1043
• Change environment activation to call activation in scripts, rather than having Python store variables #1044

1.21.0

New stuff:

• Add FEATURE_ environment variables for MKL, opt and debugging #978
• add info/about.json file that contains the "about" section of meta.yaml #941
• allow --dirty flag to be passed to conda build command. Skips
  download, and provides DIRTY environment variable in build scripts. #973
• Add msys2 paths to build and test environments #979
• add new x86 and x86_64 selectors for Intel platforms #986
• keep original meta.yaml in recipe folder of package; create meta.yaml.rendered in recipe folder. Neither exist when recipe not included. #1004
• add ignore_prefix_files key to build in meta.yaml. Can ignore list of files,
  or True to ignore all prefix files. #1008 #1009
• Automatically determine patch strip level #1011

Bug fixes/Improvements:

• Lightened requirement that x.x be defined in both build and runtime sections. #650
• Remove info/recipe.json from build conda packages. Superseded by info/recipe/meta.yaml.rendered. #781
• Search for single and double backslashes when finding files that need prefix replacement #962
• Track undefined jinja variables and use them to decide whether to download source #964
• handle patches with p0 or p1 #969, #1011, #1020
• only set os.environ for non-None variables #981
• Don't use long prefixes on windows #985
• Fix missing encoding argument #987
• Respect proxy variables more appropriately #989
• Search packages on PyPI, rather than listing them all. Should avoid some timeout errors there. #991
• Fix unix-style paths returned from git on Windows preventing relative paths from providing Jinja2 metadata #995
• improve logic handling "dirty" downloading. Always download when not dirty. #995
• Fix post-build variables when no build section existed in original meta.yaml #999
• Activate _build and _test environments approriately, rather than manipulating PATH directly #1002
• Don't clone git submodules until after first checkout #1025
• Move check_install over from conda.install #1027

Deprecations:

• __conda_version__.txt and other post-build methods of altering the build
  string are marked as deprecated. Prefer Jinja2 templates where possible.
  Create issues if this breaks your work.
