The aim is to facilitate the build of high-performance, embedded, and IoT applicationsEarlier this March, the leading liquid software company, JFrog has reportedly brought Conan 2.0—a major new version of the open source C/C++ package manager—into action.
With this release, JFrog is committed to helping developers reproduce artefact builds securely while speeding up product delivery at scale, reported Yahoo!Finance.
“For organisations designing applications for high-performance, embedded, and IoT use cases, Conan 2.0 gives visibility of dependencies across their entire software supply chain so they can move forward with confidence and peace of mind that their software supply chain is secure.” explained Diego Rodriguez-Losada, lead architect at JFrog and co-founded of Conan.io. “Conan 2.0 was built with and by the C/C++ community. At JFrog, we are honoured to be fuelled by open source and excited to give back this powerful version of the package and binary management.”
The beta version of Conan 2.0 was released in June 2022. JFrog released the first version of Conan in March 2018.
What Is Conan 2.0?
Featuring a new public Python API, cleaner syntax, a new graph model, and new build system integrations, Conan 2.0 facilitates the modelling of sophisticated C and C++ application dependency graphs and software binary packages.
Conan 2.0 New Features & Capabilities
This release offers an advanced enterprise-ready package management framework that brings next-gen flexibility and high-end security, offering new custom commands, public Python APIs, and multiple new extension points for app development.
With its high-end C/C+ artefact management functionality, developers can create safe and optimal builds with significant enhancements.
The Requirement Traits, enhanced Graphs, and Package Types help developers comprehend the relationship between dependencies effortlessly. JFrog claims this feature will allow developers to reuse binaries efficiently.
By incorporating new tools, Conan 2.0 release can enable seamless and continuous integration for large and involved C/C++ projects.
Lastly, lockfiles allow users to ‘pin down’ all types of software dependencies and tap into better security and scalability. This release provides companies with a solid framework for reproducing builds and accelerating CI/CD pipelines without compromising agility.
Conan is a fully decentralised dependency manager that allows developers to encapsulate all artefacts of a C/C++ project while also helping distribute and consume them in other projects. Users can store these project artefacts as a Conan Package that can be searched and accessed via the central repository called Conan Center.
