On Thursday, 2021-03-04, we updated our build infrastructure to use version 0.4.2 of the rubin-env conda-forge metapackage. The w_2021_11 weekly will be the first tagged release to incorporate this change.
This new environment allows several third-party dependencies to automatically update now and in the future. In particular, this environment will deploy Python 3.8.8 or later, pybind11 2.6.2 or later, pytest 6.2.2 or later, boost 1.74 (only), fastavro 1.3.2 or later, and moto 2.0.0 or later. No additional dependencies were introduced.
rubin-env 0.4.2 requires Science Pipelines code on or after w_2021_09 and will be incompatible with releases prior to that. For older code, please use rubin-env 0.2.1, 0.3.1, or 0.4.1.
