Bugs Fixed

• Improved Devbox performance on slow/unstable networks by running telemetry in a separate process
• Disabled version check when running devbox version update
• Running devbox update will now update your remote flakes as well
• Reduced bash output errors in --pure mode by automatically installing bashInteractive
• Added TERM as a permitted env variable in --pure shell

New in this Release

Pure Shell Mode

You can now run your shells, scripts, and services in pure mode using the --pure flag.

Pure mode will run your Devbox shell as a fully isolated environment, without leaking in any environment variables from your host OS (except for $HOME and the PATH to devbox + nix executables). This mode is useful when you want to run your shell with greater isolation and reduced dependency on your host OS, and can help with reproducibility across different machines.

Bugs Fixed

• Fixed a binwrapper issue that prevented some binaries from running
• Fixed Several Plugin issues:
  • [Caddy]: Changed Default port to a non-privileged one
  • [NGINX, MariaDB]: Fixed a path issues that caused reliability issues with NGINX and MariaDB
  • [PHP]: @JoyceBabu fixed a bug that set the pid file to the logfile path
  • [PHP]: Fixed an issue that prevented the PHP service from starting when passed as an argument
• Dockerfiles created with devbox generate dockerfile | devcontainer now copy in your local Flakes
• Dockerfiles now include GPG (thanks to @apgrucza)
• Fixed several devbox create templates
• Fixed a bug that caused removed packages to persist in user’s environments
• Update will no longer completely fail if we encounter a package not found error
• Adding a newer version of a package with devbox add to a project will replace older versions of the package in devbox.json and devbox.lock

What's new in this release

Automatic @latest

• Adding a package without a version number will now automatically install the latest version of the package from our Index. This is equivalent to running devbox add pkg@latest from the CLI
• Pinning a specific Nixpkg commit for the entire project in your devbox.json is now deprecated. This release still maintains backwards compatibility, but the nixpkg commit will be removed from the config in an upcoming release.
• See our guide on pinning packages for more information

Devbox Global Improvements

• devbox global pull can now pull and activate a global profile from a tarball.
• You can now use update, services, and run with devbox global.
• Running devbox run without an argument will list the available global scripts

devbox create

• Our new create subcommand makes it easy to create a new devbox project from a template.
• Our current templates are based on the projects in our examples repo

MariaDB Plugin

• Devbox can now automatically configure MariaDB packages using our Plugin.
• Click here to see the example project, or read the MariaDB docs for more detail

PHP Plugin improvement

• PHP plugin now lets you edit the php.ini file for your project.

Performance Improvements

• Projects with a large number of packages are now significantly faster when running devbox add

Bug Fixes

• Devbox no longer overwrites XDG_DATA_DIRS, instead it will prepend to the path
• Fixed a bug that caused plugins to function incorrectly with certain Nix pnames
• Fixed pip plugin autodetection
• Fixed a bug that prevented Devbox from installing path: flakes without a default package
• Changes to local flakes should now update when the user runs devbox install
