Full Release Notes

### [0.72.0] - 2026-07-01
#### ✨ Highlights

This release brings an exciting new Pixi Build feature: inline package manifests.
If you want to build a package from source that didn't contain a Pixi Build manifest, that used to be pretty annoying.
Now you can simply set the metadata inline like this:

```toml
[dependencies]
rust-package = { git = "https://github.com/user/repo.git", package.build.backend.name = "pixi-build-rust" }
```

You can learn more about this feature in the docs: https://pixi.prefix.dev/v0.72.0/build/inline_packages/
