2.38.3
This is a relatively major release for Windows and Linux users alike, despite the patch
version increment.
- Isolated Environment Parent environment inheritance is disabled per default (see compatibility for details on how to re-enable it), see #70 and #36 for background on what it means. You should now expect a near Docker-like experience in your Rez contexts.
- PowerShell is now the default shell on Windows. Users of Windows 7 and below will need to explicitly install it (and otherwise upgrade their OS in preparation for the deprecation in 2020)
- Platform Map The default
platform_map
for Windows users now yield a simplewindows-10
version per default, as versions of Windows have very little impact on the compatibility of software and yet a major negative impact on how packages are created with Rez.
