Changelog

v3.3.0 (2025-10-17)

Source | Diff

This release is a minor update that includes several bug fixes and improvements. The main highlights are support for python 3.12 and 3.13 (finally), a new way to register plugins using python entry points, new settings to control the package payload caching disk usage, and an improved plugins documentation. It also contains a lot of various bug fixes that should benifit a lot of users.

Note that this release also drops support for Python 3.7. We are aware that this might affect some users, but we believe that the benefits of dropping Python 3.7 outweigh the potential drawbacks. Maintaining support for 3.7 was becoming impossible as the ecosystem is moving forward with future versions and leaving behind older versions.

Features

  • Add wildcard support on rez-test command #1870 (Ni-g-3l)

  • Add ability to change the executable_fullpath setting for the gitbash shell plugin #1938 (vanridal)

  • Use $REZ_LOGGING_CONF in package payload cache daemon to allow configuring the logger via environment variable #1969 (BryceGattis)

  • Allow registring plugins using entry points #1991 (Ni-g-3l)

  • Add new settings to control the package payload caching disk usage #2023 (sanikache)

  • Add support for Python 3.12 and 3.13 and drop support for 3.7 #1950 (instinct-vfx, maxnbk)

Fixes

  • Fix rez.system.is_production_rez_install to handle forward slash paths under windows #1899 (michalfratczak)

  • Fix race condition in FileSystemPackageRepository directory creation, modernize usage of os.makedirs #1913 (nrusch)

  • PowerShell: Fix assumption that $LASTEXITCODE is always defined #1962 (nrusch)

  • Improve package repository case insensitive error handling #1974 (BryceGattis)

  • Fix type of PackageOrderList in ResolvedContext.from_dict #1985 (vanridal)

  • Fix calling rez-test with empty test name to run all tests #1988 (Ni-g-3l)

  • Fix an AttributeError in rez-pip caused by missing package name normalization #1950 (JeanChristopheMorinPerso)

Fixes

  • Fix key error on getting the “testing” key on older contexts #1863 (JeanChristopheMorinPerso)

    This will fix issues where contexts created from rez less than 3.2.0 would fail to be loaded in 3.2+.

v3.2.0 (2024-10-20)

Source | Diff

This release introduces a long awaited and requested feature: the ability to synchronously cache package payloads. This behaviour can be controlled centrally using the new package_cache_async setting in your rezconfig files. The default value is True, which means that as before, caches will be synced asynchrously. rez-env also gained a new --pkg-cache-mode to control the caching behaviour on a per case basis.

Other note worthy additions are the new testing object that can be used to test if rez-test is currently running from withing commands functions and early bound functions. Additionally, a new setting default_build_process was added to set the default build process to be used by rez-build.

Thanks to everybody who contributed and made all these features, bugfixes and improvements possible!

v3.0.0 (2024-02-08)

Source | Diff

This release marks a big turning point for rez by completely dropping support for Python 2. In 2.114.0, it was still possible to install rez with Python 2 using pip. This functionality has now been removed. As of now, rez will support Python 3.7+. As of now, we test against 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11.

This was a tough decision to make considering that we still have users relying on Python 2, but it was becoming more and more complicated and time-consuming to maintain support for Python 2.

Thank you to everyone who’s put a lot of effort into supporting Python 2 for that long. Without you, it wouldn’t have been possible.

As part of the effort to remove support for Python 2, we also refreshed our CI a bit:

  • The GitHub Action workflows are now simplified and unified. We now have one workflow to run all tests for all platforms instead of four.

  • We also got rid of the Windows containers. With these changes, our Windows tests are now as fast as Linux and macOS tests, it’s easier to see test results and we can also more easily test all support python versions.

  • Running the tests directly on the GH hosted runners instead of containers, we discovered some big flaws in how our tests were set up. These issues are now fixed and our tests are now much more portable and don’t rely on a centrally installed Python or PATHEXT to be set. Big thanks to @Dennis-Lehmann and @MrLixm for helping us with debugging our Window tests!

The CI refresh is not user-facing, but it took us a significant amount of effort and time to do and we hope that it will help increase the quality of rez and make for a better contributor experience. This is why we mention these in the release notes.

Features

  • It is now possible to configure the execution policy used when starting PowerShell (and pwsh) shells by setting the execution_policy setting in the shell’s config file. This should hopefully help to smooth the transition from the cmd shell to powershell/pwsh.#1505 (@herronelou)

  • Built-in bind modules can now be overridden by adding your custom implementations to bind_module_path. #1557 (@Pantsworth)

Fixes

  • Fix infinite loop in the dot graph generation when --fail-graph is used and there are indirect cycles. #1620 (@Pantsworth)

Removed

As communicated in the 2.114.0 release notes, we’ve followed through on the removal of certain things.

  • Python 2: It is now impossible to install and use rez with Python 2.

  • Modules

    • rez.vendor.version: Use rez.version instead.

    • rez.build_process_: Use rez.build_process instead.

    • rez.package_maker__: Use rez.package_maker instead.

    • rez.package_resources_: Use rez.package_resources instead.

    • rez.packages_: Use rez.packages instead.

  • Configuration settings

    • rxt_as_yaml: No replacement.

    • warn_commands2: No replacement. This was a no-op.

    • error_commands2: No replacement. This was a no-op.

    • rez_1_cmake_variables: You can use the REZ_BUILD_TYPE CMake variable instead of CENTRAL.

  • CLI

    • rez-pip: The --pip-version is removed.

    • rez-search: The --sort is removed.

  • API

    • The isolate keyword argument of the rez.rex.RexExecutor.execute_code method is now officially removed. Instead of executor.execute_code(..., isolate=True), use

      with executor.reset_globals():
    executor.execute_code(...)

  • Build system:

    • CMAKE_ECLIPSE_GENERATE_SOURCE_PROJECT and _ECLIPSE_VERSION were removed from the list of default variables passed to CMake. #1623 (@JeanChristopheMorinPerso)

    • rez will no longer print a custom error message if no build system is detected or set and an old “bez” rezbuild.py is detected. #1624 (@JeanChristopheMorinPerso)

Changed

Change of default values as announced in 2.114.0:

  • rez_1_environment_variables: Now disabled by default.

  • disable_rez_1_compatibility: Now enabled by default.

New unannounced changes:

  • The default shell on Windows is now PowerShell unless you configure default_shell to a different value. The previous default was cmd and was causing a lot of problems.

Docs

The effort to improve and add content to our docs continues.

  • New documentation dedicated to caching. This is only the beginning and only contains information on package payload caching and memcached. We hope to add more content in the future. #1615 (@brycegbrazen)

  • The note about SemVer in the docs has been clarified. While we encourage SemVer like versioning, rez doesn’t know what SemVer is. This has been a source of confusion in the past. #1614 (@brycegbrazen)

v2.114.0 (2023-11-23)

Source | Diff

Probably the last release before 3.0.0

Rez installations now only support Python 3.7+. It is important to note that the API can still be used with Python 2.7+ but this will be dropped in 3.0.0

Features

  • New environment variable REZ_LOG_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS that will force all deprecation warnings to be printed, ignoring PYTHONWARNINGS and custom warning filters. Note that enabling this will forcefully load every configuration file instead of loading them lazilly.

  • This PR adds a new config variable called error_on_missing_variant_requires that controls what happens when a variant lists missing packages in its requirements.

    By default, it is True and will continue the existing behaviour of erroring when it encounters a variant with missing packages in its list of requirements. This means that if the first variant encounters a missing package in its request, it will not continue even if the second variant can resolve.

    If it is disabled, it will print to stderr, treat the current phase as failed and continue on to the next phase. If all variants fail, it will be the same as if no variants could resolve.

    This feature was added by dgovil in #1550.

Deprecations

We decided to deprecated some things that have been “deprecated” for a while but were never officially marked as deprecated. We have prepared a guide to help you navigate these deprecations.

What follows is everything that is marked as deprecated with information on when removal will happen or when defaults will change.

  • Configuration settings:

  • Modules:

    • rez.vendor.version. Use rez.version instead. Will be removed in 3.0.0.

    • rez.packages_maker__. Use rez.packages_maker instead. Will be removed in 3.0.0.

    • rez.package_resources_. Use rez.package_resources instead. Will be removed in 3.0.0.

    • rez.packages_. Use rez.packages instead. Will be removed in 3.0.0.

  • CLI:

    • rez-pip: The --pip-version argument is deprecated. Will be removed in 3.0.0.

    • rez-search: The --sort argument is deprecated and has been a no-op for a while now. Will be removed in 3.0.0.

  • API:

    • The isolate keyword argument of the rez.rex.RexExecutor.execute_code method is now officially deprecated and will be removed in 3.0.0. Instead of executor.execute_code(..., isolate=True), use

      with executor.reset_globals():
    executor.execute_code(...)

  • Python: rez 3.0.0 will completely drop support for installing and using the rez API with Python 2.

Change of default values due to deprecations

Notes

This release adds path normalization to shells. Usually we use POSIX-style paths in package commands (eg env.PATH.append('{root}/bin'). In previous rez versions, this path was left unchanged, leading to odd paths on Windows like C:\svr\packages\foo\1.2.3/bin. This hasn’t been a problem however, since Windows is tolerant of a mix of forward and back slashes. Now though, you should see paths on Windows set correctly, ie C:\svr\packages\foo\1.2.3\bin.

Please be aware of this change in behavior in case it affects you.

Notes

This release uses python-3’s native venv module to perform the rez installation, for python-3.7 and above. For earlier python versions, an embedded copy of virtualenv was used, but this ceases to work correctly in python-3.9.

Source | Diff

Notes

Ephemeral packages are a major new feature. These enable dependencies on abstract objects or machine capabilities (for example), and also act as a way to pass ‘options’ to packages that can alter their behaviour. These will also form the basis for package features, an upcoming feature that will allow packages to depend on features of other packages, rather than just their version number.

Backwards Compatibility Issues

This release removes the bez build system. This was a very simple build system that does nothing more than call a function in rezbuild.py, passing it some build attributes (such as installation path). It has been removed because you can achieve the same thing using a custom build command, and you can retrieve the build attributes from environment variables instead.

If you attempt to build a package that was previously using bez (ie, the rezbuild.py script is still there, and build_command is not specified in your package.py) then the resulting error message shows you what you need to do to port your existing build script.

Backwards Compatibility Issues

Note that this release changes OS detection on linux. The results should be the same, but if they do differ, and you need to retain the same OS name (which you probably will, because you’ll have packages that depend on the analogous implicit package), then you can use the platform_map setting.

Backwards Compatibility Issues

Please note that #887 introduces a subtle change to CLI behaviour. Previously, rez-context --resolve would print a space-separated list of packages, even when piped to another process. Now however, if the output is piped, it will print one package per line. This is an improvement, as it means you can more easily chain rez-context with other utilities such as grep, xargs etc.

Notes

Several Windows CI improvements:

  • Base and Py docker images are only rebuilt if necessary;

  • Docker hub no longer requires a login to pull the image (meaning that tests now pass on forked PRs);

  • Rather than checking out the rez github repo in the image entrypoint, the existing checkout (done by the workflow) is bind mounted instead.

With these updates, tests are now passing on all platforms.

Known Issues

If the image is changed, there is a delay in the new image becoming available on docker hub (5-10 mins). If a separate push is made in this time, it can fail, as the Windows test expects to see the new image (which is tagged by commit).

Notes

This release adds a docker-based workflow for the Github Actions Windows test. This was done specifically because Github’s available Windows runtimes come with an already long %PATH%. Rez adds to PATH and hits a limit, causing the cmd shell to fail in several tests.

This release fixes an issue on Windows, which has non-case-sensitive filepaths. Requesting a package with a case differing from that on disk would cause two packages to exist in the resolve, which really were just different cases of the same package.

The behaviour on Windows is now:

  • Packages are case-sensitive - rez-env Foo will fail if the package folder on disk is foo;

  • Package repository paths are case-insensitive - ~/packages and ~/Packages are regarded as the same repo.

v2.26.4

Fixed Regression in 2.24.0

Addressed Issues

  • #561 timestamp not written to installed package #562

v2.26.3

Addressed Issues

  • #559 package.py permissions issue #560

Notes

Fixes issue where installed package.py can be set to r/w for only the current user.

v2.26.2

Package Copy Fixes For Non-Varianted Packages. See #557.

Addressed Issues

  • #556 rez-cp briefly copies original package definition in non-varianted packages

  • #555 rez-cp inconsistent symlinking when –shallow=true

  • #554 rez-cp doesn’t keep file metadata in some cases

Notes

There were various minor issues related to copying non-varianted packages.

v2.26.1

Bugfix in Package Copy

Addressed Issues

  • #551 package copy fails if symlinks in root dir #552

Notes

This was failing when symlinks were present within a non-varianted package being copied. Now, these symlinks are retained in the target package, unless --follow-symlinks is specified.

v2.26.0

Build System Detection Fixes

Addressed Issues

  • #549 ‘–build-system’ rez-build option not always available #550

Notes

To fix this issue:

  • The ‘–build-system’ rez-build option is now always present.

  • To provide further control over the build system type, the package itself can now specify its build system - see https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/rez/wiki/Package-Definition-Guide#build_system

COMPATIBILITY ISSUE!

Unfortunately, the ‘cmake’ build system had its own ‘–build-system’ commandline option also. This was possible because previous rez versions suppressed the standard ‘–build-system’ option if only one valid build system was present for a given package working directory. This option has been changed to ‘–cmake-build-system’.

v2.25.0

Various Build-related issues #548

Addressed Issues

  • #433: “package_definition_build_python_paths” defined paths are not available from top level in package.py

  • #442: “rez-depends” and “private_build_requires”

  • #416: Need currently-building-variant build variables

  • #547: rez-cp follows symlinks within package payload

Notes

The biggest update in this release is the introduction of new variables accessible at early-bind time: building, build_variant_index and build_variant_requires. This allows you to do things like define different private_build_requires per-variant, or a requires that is different at runtime than it is at build time. In order to get this to work, a package.py is now re-evaluated multiple times when a build occurs - once pre-build (where ‘building’ is set to False), and once per variant build. Please see the updated wiki for more details: https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/rez/wiki/Package-Definition-Guide#available-objects

A new build-time env-var, REZ_BUILD_VARIANT_REQUIRES, has been added. This mirrors the new build_variant_requires var mentioned above.

rez-depends has been updated to only include the private_build_requires of the package being queried (previously, all packages’ private build reqs were included, which is not useful). Recall that the previous release fixes the issue where private_build_requires was being stripped from released packages.

The entirety of a package definition file can now see the extra build-time modules available via the package_definition_build_python_paths config setting. Previously, only early bound functions could see these.

There was an issue with package copying (and thus the rez-cp tool) where symlinks within a package’s payload were expanded out to their source files at copy time. The default now is to keep such symlinks intact - but hte previous behavior can still be accessed with the rez-cp –follow-symlinks option.

v2.24.0

This release adds a new tool, rez-cp, for copying packages/variants from one package repository to another, with optional renaming/reversioning. The associated API can be found in src/package_copy.py.

Addressed Issues

  • #541

  • #510

  • #477

Notes

  • Package definition file writes are now atomic;

  • private_build_requires is kept in installed/released packages;

  • Fixes include modules not being copied into released packages;

  • File lock is no longer created when variant installation happens in dry mode.

v2.23.1

Fixed Regression in 2.20.0

Addressed Issues

  • #532

Notes

Bug was introduced in: https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/rez/releases/tag/2.20.0

v2.23.0

Package Usage Tracking, Better Config Overrides

Addressed Issues

  • #528

Notes

Two new features are added in this release:

Override any config setting with an env-var. For any setting “foo”, you can now set the env-var REZ_FOO_JSON to a JSON-encoded string. This works for any config setting. Note that the existing REZ_FOO env-var overrides are still in place also; if both are defined, REZ_FOO takes precedence. This feature means you can now override some of the more complicated settings with env-vars, such as package_filter.

Track context creation and sourcing via AMQP. Messages are published (on a separate thread) to the nominated broker/exchange/routing_key. You have control over what parts of the context are published. For more details: https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/rez/blob/master/src/rez/rezconfig.py#L414

The embedded simplejson lib was removed. The native json lib is used instead, and for cases where loads-without-unicoding-everything is needed, utils/json.py now addresses that instead.

v2.22.1

Stdin-related fixes

Addressed Issues

  • #512

  • #526

v2.22.0:

Search API

PR: #213

Notes

Package/variant/family search API is now available in package_search.py. This gives the same functionality as provided by the rez-search CLI tool.

v2.21.0

Added mingw as a rez build_system for cmake

PR: #501

v2.20.1

Windows Fixes

Merged PRs

  • #490: Fix alias command in Windows when PATH is modified

  • #489: Fix cmd.exe not escaping special characters

  • #482: Fix selftest getting stuck on Windows

Addressed Issues

  • #343

  • #432

  • #481

v2.20.0

Better CLI Arg Parsing

PR: #523

Addressed Issues

  • #492

Notes

The rez-python command now supports all native python args and passes those through to its python subprocess - so you can now shebang with rez-python if that is useful.

More broadly, rez commands now parse CLI args correctly for each case. Many commands previously accepted rez-env-style commands (eg rez-env pkgA – somecommand – i am ignored), but simply ignored extraneous args after – tokens.

v2.19.1

Fixed bug with rez-build and package preprocess

Merged PRs

  • #522

Addressed Issues

  • #514

Notes

The problem occurred because the preprocess function was attempting to be serialized when the package definition is cached to memcache. However, this function is stripped in installed packages; furthermore, caching “developer packages” (ie unbuilt packages) was never intentional.

This release disables memcaching of developer packages, thus avoiding the bug and bringing back originally intended behavior.
