MacPorts 2.8.0 release candidate 1 available October 15, 2022
Source code and pkgs for MacPorts 2.8.0-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 2.8.0 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 beta1 are:
- Fixed error when upgrading ports with no cxx_stdlib information in the registry.
- Ensured that SQLite write-ahead logging is enabled on all systems.
