Release: Flox 1.3.5

Flox Team | 19 November 2024

We’ve just released version 1.3.5 of the Flox CLI. You can get the new release here.

Building on last week’s version 1.3.4 release, this is primarily a stability and performance update.

Improvements and bug fixes include:

• The flox containerize command now defaults to using Docker or Podman from the system's PATH if neither the --file nor --runtime options are specified.

• Upgrading a Flox environment with flox upgrade preserves the existing formatting of the environment’s manifest.lock file. This makes it easier to review changes with git diff.

• This release fixes a regression introduced in v1.3.4 where flox-watchdog (which manages and monitors activated Flox environments) caused log files to grow exponentially.
