(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
Bug fixes:
----------
* 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
