Anaconda 5.0.0.1
Oct 02, 2017
  • Fixes Python & C compiler fallback path for all cases on x86/x86_64 Linux. Without this fix, people were required to use our new compilers, which is not something we want to enforce at this time. This was affecting travis-ci builds and pip installs of packages that require compilation for extensions.

  • Over 100 packages updated and added. MKL is updated to 2018.0.0. JupyterLab alpha preview 0.27.0 is included.
  • All new compilers on macOS and Linux, giving substantial security and performance improvements.
  • Where possible, all build recipes use conda-forge as a base, using AnacondaRecipes .
  • A new channel, pkgs/main, has been added to defaults. The new channel is given top priority within defaults and holds packages built with the new compiler stack.
  • Continuum Analytics has been renamed to Anaconda, Inc. See this blog post for more.
