Notes
This release adds path normalization to shells. Usually we use POSIX-style paths in
package commands (eg env.PATH.append('{root}/bin')
. In previous rez versions,
this path was left unchanged, leading to odd paths on Windows like
C:\svr\packages\foo\1.2.3/bin
. This hasn't been a problem however, since Windows is
tolerant of a mix of forward and back slashes. Now though, you should see paths on
Windows set correctly, ie C:\svr\packages\foo\1.2.3\bin
.
Please be aware of this change in behavior in case it affects you.

Notes
This release uses python-3's native venv
module to perform the rez installation, for python-3.7 and above.
For earlier python versions, an embedded copy of virtualenv was used, but this ceases to work correctly in
python-3.9.

Closed issues:
- Installation With Python >=3.9 Fails ('HTMLParser' object has no attribute 'unescape') #980
- have install.py use venv in python3 #982
Notes
Ephemeral packages are a major new feature. These enable dependencies on abstract objects or machine capabilities (for example), and also act as a way to pass 'options' to packages that can alter their behaviour. These will also form the basis for package features, an upcoming feature that will allow packages to depend on features of other packages, rather than just their version number.

Backwards Compatibility Issues
This release removes the bez build system. This was a very simple build system that does nothing more
than call a function in rezbuild.py
, passing it some build attributes (such as installation path). It has
been removed because you can achieve the same thing using a custom build command, and you can retrieve the
build attributes from environment variables instead.
If you attempt to build a package that was previously using bez (ie, the rezbuild.py
script is still there,
and build_command
is not specified in your package.py) then the resulting error message shows you what you
need to do to port your existing build script.

Backwards Compatibility Issues
Note that this release changes OS detection on linux. The results should be the same, but if they do differ, and you need to retain the same OS name (which you probably will, because you'll have packages that depend on the analogous implicit package), then you can use the platform_map setting.

Backwards Compatibility Issues
Please note that #887 introduces a subtle change to CLI behaviour. Previously, rez-context --resolve
would print a space-separated list of packages, even when piped to another process. Now however, if
the output is piped, it will print one package per line. This is an improvement, as it means you can
more easily chain rez-context
with other utilities such as grep, xargs etc.

Notes
Several Windows CI improvements:
- Base and Py docker images are only rebuilt if necessary;
- Docker hub no longer requires a login to pull the image (meaning that tests now pass on forked PRs);
- Rather than checking out the rez github repo in the image entrypoint, the existing checkout (done by the workflow) is bind mounted instead.
With these updates, tests are now passing on all platforms.
Known Issues
If the image is changed, there is a delay in the new image becoming available on docker hub (5-10 mins). If a separate push is made in this time, it can fail, as the Windows test expects to see the new image (which is tagged by commit).
Merged pull requests:
- Windows docker enhancements #794 (bfloch)
- Remove the login so that PR work at least for the non-image workflows. #795 (bfloch)
- Issue 800 windows ci use checkout #801 (nerdvegas)
Closed issues:
- windows ci: Use Actions checkout #800
Notes
This release just makes some minor changes related to the CI tests. As well as the changes in the PR shown below, the following changes were also made:
- 'Windows Docker' workflow was renamed 'Windows'
- MacOS version used in workflow was changed from 10.14 to 'latest', as per Github's instructions (which were emailed to me).

Closed issues:
- Fix README actions badges not showing current master status #785
Notes
This release adds a docker-based workflow for the Github Actions Windows test. This was done specifically
because Github's available Windows runtimes come with an already long %PATH%. Rez adds to PATH and hits
a limit, causing the cmd
shell to fail in several tests.

- Note that pwsh shell implementation was using the subprocess 'universal_newlines' arg - this has been
removed. This was causing
execute_shell
to return an str-type stdout/stderr tuple, rather than bytes as every other shell impl does, and this was causing tests to fail.

Notes
Last round of Py3 updates (not counting further bugfixes found from testing).
Please take note if you notice any changes in performance in Py2. This release includes a number of changes
from methods like iteritems
to items
, which in Py2 means a list construction rather than just an iterator.
Tests have shown performance to be identical, but you may find a case where it is not.

Closed issues:

Notes
This release fixes an issue on Windows, which has non-case-sensitive filepaths. Requesting a package with a case differing from that on disk would cause two packages to exist in the resolve, which really were just different cases of the same package.
The behaviour on Windows is now:
- Packages are case-sensitive -
rez-env Foo
will fail if the package folder on disk isfoo
; - Package repository paths are case-insensitive -
~/packages
and~/Packages
are regarded as the same repo.

Notes
Updates the installer (install.py).
- patched distlib (in build_utils) has been removed. The patch we were relying on has since been made part of the main distlib release, which we already have vendored;
- virtualenv has been updated to latest;
- scripts have been removed, and entry points are used instead;
- install.py code has been cleaned up and simplified. Specifically, standard use of distlib.ScriptMaker has been put in place;
- INSTALL.md has been updated with a full explanation of the installer, and why a pip-based installation is not the same as using install.py.

Notes
This fixes a regression introduced in 2.34.0
, which causes rez-context -g
to
fail. The pydot vendor package was updated, and the newer version includes a
breaking change. Where pydot.graph_from_dot_data
used to return a single graph
object, it now returns a list of graph objects.

2.26.2 [#557] Package Copy Fixes For Non-Varianted Packages
- #556 rez-cp briefly copies original package definition in non-varianted packages
- #555 rez-cp inconsistent symlinking when --shallow=true
- #554 rez-cp doesn't keep file metadata in some cases
There were various minor issues related to copying non-varianted packages.
2.26.1 [#552] Bugfix in Package Copy
- #551 package copy fails if symlinks in root dir
This was failing when symlinks were present within a non-varianted package being copied. Now, these
symlinks are retained in the target package, unless --follow-symlinks
is specified.
2.26.0 [#550] Build System Detection Fixes
- #549 '--build-system' rez-build option not always available
To fix this issue:
- The '--build-system' rez-build option is now always present.
- To provide further control over the build system type, the package itself can now specify its build system - see https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/rez/wiki/Package-Definition-Guide#build_system
Unfortunately, the 'cmake' build system had its own '--build-system' commandline option also. This was possible because previous rez versions suppressed the standard '--build-system' option if only one valid build system was present for a given package working directory. This option has been changed to '--cmake-build-system'.
2.25.0 [#548] Various Build-related issues
- #433: "package_definition_build_python_paths" defined paths are not available from top level in package.py
- #442: "rez-depends" and "private_build_requires"
- #416: Need currently-building-variant build variables
- #547: rez-cp follows symlinks within package payload
The biggest update in this release is the introduction of new variables accessible at early-bind time: building, build_variant_index and build_variant_requires. This allows you to do things like define different private_build_requires per-variant, or a requires that is different at runtime than it is at build time. In order to get this to work, a package.py is now re-evaluated multiple times when a build occurs - once pre-build (where 'building' is set to False), and once per variant build. Please see the updated wiki for more details: https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/rez/wiki/Package-Definition-Guide#available-objects
A new build-time env-var, REZ_BUILD_VARIANT_REQUIRES, has been added. This mirrors the new build_variant_requires var mentioned above.
rez-depends has been updated to only include the private_build_requires of the package being queried (previously, all packages' private build reqs were included, which is not useful). Recall that the previous release fixes the issue where private_build_requires was being stripped from released packages.
The entirety of a package definition file can now see the extra build-time modules available via the package_definition_build_python_paths config setting. Previously, only early bound functions could see these.
There was an issue with package copying (and thus the rez-cp tool) where symlinks within a package's payload were expanded out to their source files at copy time. The default now is to keep such symlinks intact - but hte previous behavior can still be accessed with the rez-cp --follow-symlinks option.
This release adds a new tool, rez-cp, for copying packages/variants from one package repository to another, with optional renaming/reversioning. The associated API can be found in src/package_copy.py.

- Package definition file writes are now atomic;
- private_build_requires is kept in installed/released packages;
- Fixes include modules not being copied into released packages;
- File lock is no longer created when variant installation happens in dry mode.

Bug was introduced in: https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/rez/releases/tag/2.20.0
- #528
Two new features are added in this release:
Override any config setting with an env-var. For any setting "foo", you can now set the env-var REZ_FOO_JSON to a JSON-encoded string. This works for any config setting. Note that the existing REZ_FOO env-var overrides are still in place also; if both are defined, REZ_FOO takes precedence. This feature means you can now override some of the more complicated settings with env-vars, such as package_filter.
Track context creation and sourcing via AMQP. Messages are published (on a separate thread) to the nominated broker/exchange/routing_key. You have control over what parts of the context are published. For more details: https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/rez/blob/master/src/rez/rezconfig.py#L414
The embedded simplejson lib was removed. The native json lib is used instead, and for cases where loads-without-unicoding-everything is needed, utils/json.py now addresses that instead.

The rez-python command now supports all native python args and passes those through to its python subprocess - so you can now shebang with rez-python if that is useful.
More broadly, rez commands now parse CLI args correctly for each case. Many commands previously accepted rez-env-style commands (eg rez-env pkgA -- somecommand -- i am ignored), but simply ignored extraneous args after -- tokens.

The problem occurred because the preprocess function was attempting to be serialized when the package definition is cached to memcache. However, this function is stripped in installed packages; furthermore, caching "developer packages" (ie unbuilt packages) was never intentional.
This release disables memcaching of developer packages, thus avoiding the bug and bringing back originally intended behavior.
