MacPorts 2.7.0 release candidate 1 available May 16, 2021
Source code and pkgs for MacPorts 2.7.0-rc1 are now available. Testing of either of these install methods is helpful.
Be prepared to encounter bugs. As always, having a recent backup would be wise. Please report any bugs that you find (after first searching Trac, of course!)
If no show-stopping bugs are found in the next few days, this will become the 2.7.0 release.
There are a large number of changes in this release. See the ChangeLog for a list of most of the major ones. You may like to focus your testing on the new features in that list, as well as your normal usage.
Changes since beta2 are:
- Fixed build failure on <= 10.6.
- Adjusted minimum compiler version for C++17.
- Using
-j1
for the benefit of ninja whenbuild.jobs
is 1 (instead of no-j
option), and settinguse_parallel_build no
changes the value ofbuild.jobs
to 1 rather than omitting the-j
option. - Checking some more logs for implicit function declarations.
- Printing some more possibly helpful log locations when configure fails.
