3.2.0 (2024-10-20)

Source | Diff

This release introduces a long awaited and requested feature: the ability to synchronously cache
package payloads. This behaviour can be controlled centrally using the new package_cache_async
setting in your rezconfig files. The default value is True, which means that as before, caches
will be synced asynchrously. rez-env also gained a new --pkg-cache-mode to control the
caching behaviour on a per case basis.

Other note worthy additions are the new testing object that can be used to test if rez-test is currently running from withing commands functions and early bound functions. Additionally, a new setting default_build_process
was added to set the default build process to be used by rez-build.

Thanks to everybody who contributed and made all these features, bugfixes and improvements possible!
