New in this release

• Custom Plugins — Custom plugins can now be defined without recompiling Devbox. This means you can create your own Plugins, and add them to your Devbox project by adding them to the include section of your devbox.json
  • See our Creating Plugins docs for details on how to write your own plugin
  • Check the examples directory in this repo for an example plugin
• Improved Search Results — devbox search and devbox add have several enhancements to make finding packages more reliable.
  • Devbox search uses our new v2 search endpoint, which is faster, more reliable, and more complete than our previous endpoint
  • You can now search for a package with a version number (e.g., nodejs@20) to get a better idea of how the reference will resolve
  • If a package is not in our search index or if our search index is unreachable, Devbox fall back to installing directly with Nix. This is useful for references like stdenv.cc.cc.lib which are not easily indexed by our search service.
  • Devbox’s search index can now search and add nodePackages from the Nix repository.
• Insecure Package Warnings and Override — Devbox will now warn you if a package that you wish to install has been marked insecure, and provide the reason why the package has been marked insecure.
  • If you wish to use an insecure package, you can install it using devbox add <pkg> --allow-insecure. For example, to add nodejs@16, you can run devbox add nodejs@16 --allow-insecure

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a fork bomb that could occur when adding certain packages, like coreutils (see #1260)
• Fixed an error that could occur while cleaning up scripts (see #1252)
• Added a newline at the end of all generated files (see #1251)

Thanks to

• @hezhizhen for their contributions to this release

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
