## Conda

### Community

* Subscribe to the new [conda-announce mailing list](https://lists.conda.org/wws/subscribe/announce) to get occasional summaries on the conda ecosystem delivered to your inbox.
* The Mamba project has [bi-weekly community calls](https://hackmd.io/iOgkxNMpTea6lWczjCov9Q?view) on Tuesdays.
* The overall conda community has [bi-weekly calls](https://hackmd.io/@conda-community?tags=%5B%22meeting-notes%22%5D) on Wednesdays.

**Releases**

* **`conda`** [23.11.0](https://conda.org/blog/2023-12-07-november-releases/#changes-in-conda-23110) closes the 23.x release series. 2023 has brought many features to `conda`, including:
* The speedy `conda-libmamba-solver` as the default dependency solver. This and other improvements like parallel downloads make `conda` run 4-5x faster.
* Support for plugins, enabling you to customize your conda installation.
* Package builders can now include desktop icons across all operating systems.
* The [conda documentation](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/) has been reorganized and updated.
* [**`pixi`**](https://pixi.sh/) a new open-source conda-compatible package and environment manager led by the folks at prefix.dev. Implemented in Rust, using the recently introduced Rattler library as a foundation. See [the announcement](https://prefix.dev/blog/launching_pixi) for details.
* **[`conda-build`](https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda-build/en/stable/)** now supports `emscripten-wasm32` and `wasi-wasm32` platforms.
* **[`conda-lock`](https://conda.github.io/conda-lock/)**, **[`mamba`](https://mamba.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)**, **[`rattler-build`](https://prefix-dev.github.io/rattler-build/)**, **[`grayskull`](https://conda.github.io/grayskull/)**, **[`quetz`](https://quetz.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)**, **[`rattler`](https://github.com/mamba-org/rattler)**, **[`condax`](https://mariusvniekerk.github.io/condax/)** and many other projects had new releases too.

**Other news**

* **A [new recipe format for defining conda-compatible packages](https://github.com/conda-incubator/ceps/blob/main/cep-13.md) has been proposed and accepted.** The format is much cleaner, and when implemented will enable fast parsing and building of recipes.
* These projects joined the [conda-incubator](https://github.com/conda-incubator):
* [`conda-store`](https://github.com/conda-incubator/conda-auth) and kin support storing, reusing, and sharing conda environments.
* The [`conda-auth` plugin](https://github.com/conda-incubator/conda-auth) supports authenticated access to private channels in `conda`. (The [plugins repo](https://github.com/conda-incubator/plugins) lists this and other available plugins.)
