Anaconda 4.4.0
May 31, 2017

Anaconda 4.4 was released on May 31, 2017 and includes the following:

  • Support added for the “ppc64le” machine type, for the POWER8 LE architecture used by IBM Power Systems and OpenPOWER servers.
  • On Windows, the PATH environment variable is no longer changed by default, as this can cause trouble with other software. Instead, use Anaconda Navigator or the Anaconda Prompt in the Start Menu under “Anaconda” to use Anaconda software. If a user does choose to change the PATH variable, Anaconda is no longer appended to the PATH in system mode, and is now always added to the front of PATH in either system mode or user mode.
  • Python 3.5 is updated from 3.5.2 to 3.5.3 and Python 3.6 from 3.6.0 to 3.6.1. Anaconda 4.4 supports Python 2.7, 3.5, and 3.6. Anaconda 4.3 was the last release to support Python 3.4.
  • Minimum supported version of CentOS is now CentOS 6. Anaconda 4.3 was the last release to support CentOS 5.
  • Applied pycrypto patch for CVE-2013-7439.
  • Improved cp_acp support for install paths with non-ASCII characters on Windows.
  • conda is updated from 4.3.14 to 4.3.21.
  • Navigator is updated from 1.5.0 to 1.6.2.
  • Project is updated from 0.4.1 to 0.6.0.
  • Added distributed and pyodbc to the installers.
  • Updated EULA.
  • Conda packages with “mkl” in the package name now contain a file license.txt with a copy of the Intel Simplified Software License that applies to the Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL).
  • Over 90 packages are updated or added.

Highlights:

  • add support for the ppc64le (POWER8 LE used by IBM Power Systems and OpenPOWER servers) machine types

Other changes:

  • On Windows, the PATH environment variable is no longer changed by default, as this can cause trouble with other software. The recommended approach is to instead use Anaconda Navigator or the Anaconda Prompt (located in the Start Menu under “Anaconda”) when you wish to use Anaconda software. Also, Anaconda will always be added to the front of PATH, for either system or user mode. (Previously it was appended to the system path.)
  • improve cp_acp support for install path on Windows
  • updated 80 packages in the installer (and their dependencies)
  • added distributed and pyodbc to the installers
  • apply pycrypto patch for CVE-2013-7439
  • end support for CentOS 5. CentOS 6 is now the minimum supported version.
