Release 2.1.0 · conda/conda-build

(includes changes since 2.0.12, including those already listed under 2.1.0beta1)

Enhancements:

Consolidate package metadata from extra.json and noarch.json into package_metadata.json #1535 #1539
finalize paths.json, (formerly files.json), which supersedes the older separate files for tracking file data #1535
Support output of multiple packages from one recipe #1576
Support output of wheels #1576
Add --prefix-length to conda-build. This allows one to set the prefix length manually. It should be used sparingly, preferring creation of a temporary folder on non-encrypted locations, and setting --croot to that temporary folder. #1579
Add --no-prefix-length-fallback option to conda-build, to fail builds that encounter short prefixes, rather than falling back to the short prefix #1579
Change CRAN-skeleton to follow conda-forge style #1596
Allow relative paths to files in source/url field #1614

Rework locks to be more robust #1540
Call make_hardlink_copy on Windows to prevent conda failures #1575
Delete the work folder before running the test suite. Exposes faulty links to source files more easily. #1581
Add support for Python 3.6 in selector expressions #1592
Don't try to compile pyc files when python is not installed in the build env #1593
Fix a function call leading to corrupted meta.yaml output #1589
Fix logger to be package-local. Fixes logger output not showing up. #1583
Disallow leading periods in package version #1594
Fix reference to undefined need_source_download #1595
Disallow - in feature names, to avoid conflicts with conda's handling of package names #1600
Remove help text about passing multiple --python options or "all" - this has been broken for some time. Replacement coming in 3.0.0. #1610
Fix clobbering of no_link variable. #1611
Fix index when --output-folder is specified #1613
Fix python_d.exe incompatibility with conda 4.3 #1615
