Yesterday, GNU Guix, a transactional package manager and an advanced distribution of the GNU system, announced the release of GNU Guix version 1.0.0. or “One-point-oh”.
This release includes ISO-9660 installation images, virtual machine image, and with tarballs to install the package manager on top of GNU/Linux distro, either from source or from binaries. Guix users can update by running guix pull.
According to their official post, the team says that, “For Guix, 1.0 is the result of seven years of development, with code, packaging, and documentation contributions made by 260 people, translation work carried out by dozen of people, and artwork and web site development by a couple of individuals, to name some of the activities that have been happening. During those years we published no less than 19 “0.x” releases.”
This release, the team says, is a major milestone for those who’ve been on board for several years.
On December 6, last year, the GNU Guix team released the 0.16.0 version where 99 people contributed over 5,700 commits at that time. This new One-point-oh release includes the following highlights since the previous version.
The team also says that Guix 1.0 is a tool that’s both serviceable for one’s day-to-day computer usage and a great playground to explore. Whether users want to help on design, coding, maintenance, system administration, translation, testing, artwork, web services, funding, organizing a Guix install party, the team is welcome to contributions.
