0.9.0

Improved Nix Profile Generation

We've improved how Devbox creates Nix Profiles for your development shells to make it more reliable and deterministic. In addition to simplifying our profile generation code, this should ensure that changes to your installed packages are more reliably reflected in your Nix Shell.

--allow-insecure Improvements

You can now pass a list of packages to the --allow-insecure flag. This is useful when you need to allow a list of insecure dependencies for a package

For example: installing sublime4 will fail because openssl-1.1.1w is marked insecure in Nixpkgs. To override the warning and install openssl, you can run devbox add sublime4 --allow-insecure=openssl-1.1.1w:

Fish init_hook Improvements

Init Hooks are now sourced correctly when run in Fish shell, which should avoid script parsing errors on starting the shell.

How to Install

To opt in to the pre-release, export DEVBOX_USE_VERSION=0.9.0-pre in your shell. We recommend adding this to your shellrc file if you plan to test the pre-release long term.

To revert to the last released version, unset the DEVBOX_USE_VERSION environment variable
