0.12.0

What's new in this Release

Devbox Run Improvements

devbox run will no longer re-run init_hooks or attempt to recreate the shell environment if it is already running in a devbox shell environment. Implications of this change are:

• If you start a shell, and then run a script with devbox run, the script will not re-run the init_hook or recreate the environment
• If you run a devbox script inside another devbox script, the init_hook and shell setup will only happen once.

Devbox Global Improvements

Devbox Global has been updated to no longer set Nix environment variables or stdenv packages in your global path. This provides a cleaner environment for your Devbox packages, without interfering with the tooling installed on your host

• Previous versions of Devbox Global would set it's own versions of packages like gcc, ld, and clang at the top of your global path, which could break system build tools. This version will no longer set those packages in your path
• Previous versions of Devbox Global would set variables like PYTHONPATH, which could override and cause issues with your host Python interpreter or other Python based binaries. This version will no longer set those variables
• Note: This change may cause certain libraries or packages to stop working with Devbox Global. If you need these packages to continue working, you can add --omit-nix-env=false to the invocation in your shellrc:

   eval "$(devbox global shellenv --init_hooks --omit-nix-env=false)"

devbox cache enable

You can now enable the Jetify Prebuilt Cache right from command line by running devbox cache enable. Running this command will let you login or create a free Jetify Cloud account from your browser, and then configure Nix on your system to use the cache.

What's new in this prerelease

Init Hook Improvements

devbox run will no longer re-run init_hooks or attempt to recreate the shell environment if it is already running in a devbox shell environment. Implications of this change are:

• If you start a shell, and then run a script with devbox run, the script will not re-run the init_hook or recreate the environment

Devbox Global improvements

Devbox Global has been updated to no longer set Nix environment variables or stdenv packages in your global path. This should allow package and tools to work well with Devbox Global, without interfering with the tooling installed on your host

• Previous versions of Devbox Global would set it's own versions of packages like gcc, ld, and clang at the top of your global path, which could break system build tools. This version will no longer set those packages in your path

• Previous versions of Devbox Global would set variables like PYTHONPATH, which could override and cause issues with your host Python interpreter or other Python based binaries. This version will no longer set those variables

• Note: This change may cause certain libraries or packages to stop working with Devbox Global. If you need these packages to continue working, you can add --omit-nix-env=false to the invocation in your shellrc:

   eval "$(devbox global shellenv --init_hooks --omit-nix-env=false)"

0.11.1

What's new in this pre-release

devbox cache support in the CLI

Version 0.11 of devbox and newer can now use Devbox Cache when logged in with a Jetify Cloud account. Jetify Cache includes a private cache for your own custom packages and flakes, as well as a Prebuilt Cache that expands on the public Nix Cache.

Visit our docs to learn more about how to setup a cache with Jetify Cloud. You can also view the CLI cache commands using devbox cache --help

Startup Performance:

1. Devbox can now detect if your project is missing store paths, and then prompt you to backfill them. This speeds up package installation by letting us pull packages directly from the cache.
   • To update your storepaths, run devbox install --tidy-lockfile
2. All packages are installed in a single Nix command, rather than sequentially in individual Nix commands

Process Compose

1. Added a new --pcflags option so you can pass flags directly to Process Compose when starting your services. For example:
   • You can run a namespace using `devbox services up --pcflags "-n=my-namespace"
   • You can change the process-compose servers port using `devbox services up --pcflags "-p=3003"
2. Process compose is now installed via Nixpkgs, meaning we can take advantage of caching

Other fixes

1. Added an optional name + description field to the devbox.json schema
2. Updates to docs and error commands

Special thanks to:

• @iamdejan, @savtrip, @unscrew, @vhsantos
• Extra special thanks to @unscrew for translating our README.md to Korean!

0.11.0

What's new in this release

• Perf improvements: Ensure and Install steps when starting your shell have been optimized to run faster, and avoid repetitive checks for packages that have already been installed. We also fixed a few regressions that were slowing down install times.
• Python Plugin Improvements: We removed a repetitive message about how to set up virtual environments for Python that showed on every shell creation. This message will now only show once on installation.
• PostgreSQL Plugin Improvments: Added a Readiness Probe for Postgresql in our default plugin. You can now have other services in your process-compose.yml wait for Postgres to be ready before starting. Thanks @mikenikles for contributing this feature
• Lix and other Nix Forks: Devbox can now detect and use Nix forks (like Lix) if they are installed. Note that compatibility with Nix forks should be considered experimental. Thanks @SapphicCode for contributing this feature.
• Versioned Devbox Docker Images: Official Devbox Docker images are now tagged by version, so you can pin the image that you want to use to a specific version of Devbox

Bug Fixes

• Fixed store path parsing bugs that could affect package installation
• Fixed some incorrect documentation and help outputs.

Special Thanks to:

@silvestre, @vallops99, @josh-d2, @mootoday, and @SapphicCode for their first contributions to this release!
