24.9.0

Enhancements

• Reduce render time when there is a large number of unused variants. (#5392)

Bug fixes

• Ensure variables mentioned in script_env are undefined in the multi-output build environment
  if they are undefined in the environment that conda-build is invoked from. (#5322)
• Variables used in single-line jinja2 for and set statements are now properly included in the variant
  matrix for some edge cases. (#5447)
• Allow undefined jinja variables when a particular metadata block evaluates as skipped. (#5458)

Deprecations

• Remove conda_build.build.check_external. patchelf is an explicit conda-build dependency on Linux, so it will always be installed. (#5441)
• Remove conda_build.metadata._get_env_path. Use conda.base.context.locate_prefix_by_name instead. (#5441)
• Remove conda_build.build._construct_metadata_for_test_from_recipe. Test built packages instead, not recipes (e.g., conda build --test package instead of conda build --test recipe/). (#5478)
