0.5.8

New in This Release

Note Please upgrade to this version if you are encountering issues with Nix 2.17.

• Adds support for Nix 2.17, and should fix any nix profile list errors that arise after upgrading.
• Fixes a bug that would fail to correctly update the lockfile after running devbox update
• Adds support for remote or Github hosted plugins
  • You can now access plugins hosted on Github by adding github:<org>/<repo>/<revision>?dir=<dir> to the include section of your devbox.json
  • The repo must contain a plugin.json at the root of the repo, or in the dir if one is provided.
  • For more details on writing plugins, see our docs at: https://www.jetpack.io/devbox/docs/guides/creating_plugins/
