Get reproducible builds independent from the current state of the vcpkg ports registry.Conveniently upgrade all declared dependencies at once via baselines.Freeze dependencies at specific versions.Declare minimum version constraints on dependencies.Today, we are announcing support for another anticipated feature: Package versioning. Two such features are manifests and binary caching, which we announced some time ago, and users have been successfully using them in their projects since then. Please give us your feedback and let us know how we can improve.įor the past year we have been focusing our efforts on implementing highly requested features in vcpkg that will help our users in a wide variety of scenarios.
