What's New

Introduces experimental conda-script support for self-contained R and C++ scripts.

New Features

  • Experimental support for self-contained R and C++ conda-scripts.
  • New script-aware CLI commands (init, run, add, remove, lock).
  • Automatic environment solving and dependency caching for scripts.
  • Metadata model for defining channels, entrypoints, and dependencies.
  • Shared `tool.pixi` configuration support across script formats.

Upgrade Notes

Enable experimental support using `pixi config set experimental.conda-script true --global`. New CLI commands like `pixi init --script` and `pixi run --script` are available for managing self-contained scripts. Scripts now include a metadata block for defining dependencies and entrypoints.
