0.11.1-dev

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

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.
2. All packges 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
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

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!
