I have just issued updates for the Python package and project manager
uv, from version 0.5.31 to version 0.6.3, in both EPEL10 branches (10.0
and 10.1)[1][2]. This package follows semantic versioning[3], and there
are a few breaking changes from 0.5.x to 0.6.x. This update therefore
follows the policy for incompatible upgrades[4] and has obtained the
approval of the EPEL steering committee[5].
The developers of uv have been very strict about defining and tracking
potential breaking changes, and it is likely that most users will not
need to change anything at all. Upstream writes:
There have been 31 releases and 1135 pull requests since 0.5.0, our
last release with breaking changes. As before, we've accumulated
various changes that improve correctness and user experience, but
could break some workflows. This release contains those changes;
many have been marked as breaking out of an abundance of caution. We
expect most users to be able to upgrade without making changes.
The upstream changelogs for the 0.6.0 release contain a complete,
detailed list of breaking changes and their possible implications for uv
users[6].
By policy, these updates will remain in testing for at least one week
regardless of karma, and I will send a follow-up announcement when I
manually push them to stable.
