Current Series Release Notes

18.0.0.0b1

New Features

• The PIP upgrade strategy can now be controlled using the new pip_install_strategy variable which can either be eager if the deployers want to upgrade both the package and its dependencies or only-if-needed if they want to only upgrade what’s really necessary. More information can be found on the PIP user guide

Upgrade Notes

• The default PIP stategy has been changed to only-of-needed in order to minimize the amount of packages which are updated during installation. Deployers can still override the default option using the pip_install_strategy variable.

Deprecation Notes

• The variable pip_required_pip_packages has been removed as it is not used and not required.
