Changelog

7.5.1.dev0 (unreleased)

Warning

This version is not released yet and is under active development.

• [guix] Fix guix install --load-path=packaging/guix failing on unbound python-pytest and python-xmltodict, whose modules were not imported, and align the definition with the upstream Guix stanza.

• [nix] Fix nix-env --file packaging/nix failing its runtime-dependency check on the stale click-extra 8.6.2 and extra-platforms 13.5.1 pins, bumping them to 8.8.1 and 13.6.0 to satisfy mpm 7.5.0’s raised floors.

7.5.0 (2026-08-03)

Note

7.5.0 is available on 🐍 PyPI and 🐙 GitHub.

• [volta] Add Volta package manager (installed, install, upgrade, remove), flagged unmaintained since its November 2025 retirement in favor of mise. pkg:npm/ purls now also resolve to it. Addresses #1995.

• [mpm] Raise the click-extra floor from 8.6.1 to 8.7.0, scoping mpm’s strict-config check to its own pyproject.toml section and forcing telemetry off on a truthy DO_NOT_TRACK.

• [mpm] Raise the extra-platforms floor from 13.5.1 to 13.6.0, whose new AlmaLinux detection stops the spurious unrecognized-platform warning mpm printed on AlmaLinux hosts.

• [mpm] Bump the in-repo Alpine, Guix, MacPorts and Nix packaging specs to build from 7.4.1, switching Alpine to the PyPI sdist instead of the GitHub tag tarball.

• [snap] Fix snap remove failing with error: unknown flag 'color' on recent snapd by no longer appending --color=never, which remove does not accept.

• [mpm] Add favicon.svg and banner-social.svg (light/dark PNG exports) as the Sphinx browser-tab icon and OpenGraph image, and switch the readme banner to a dark-mode-aware <picture> element.

• [mpm] Refresh the readme’s manager Sankey diagram and operation matrix.

7.4.1 (2026-07-28)

Note

7.4.1 is available on 🐍 PyPI and 🐙 GitHub.

• [bar-plugin] Recolor the version-diff suffixes to match the SwiftBar menu appearance (from OS_APPEARANCE): the adaptive system red and green lose contrast on recent macOS’s translucent menus, so a light menu darkens both and a dark menu brightens the green.

• [mpm] Raise the click-extra floor from 8.6 to 8.6.1 and the extra-platforms floor from 13.1 to 13.5.1.

• [mpm] Drop the now-upstreamed Nix bar-plugin backport patch and bump the in-repo Alpine, Guix, MacPorts and Nix packaging specs to build from 7.4.0.

• [mpm] Bump the in-repo Alpine, MacPorts and Nix packaging specs to build against click-extra 8.6.2 and extra-platforms 13.5.1, and correct the Alpine package license metadata from GPL-2.0-or-later to Apache-2.0.

• [mpm] The GitHub issue and PR content-labeller no longer derives 📦 manager: labels from bare manager IDs, so a pasted mpm trace no longer tags an issue with every installed manager; only curated ecosystem keywords a human types now match.

• [cpan] Document why cpan reports Perl’s core modules as outdated while upgrade --all never upgrades them: their versions are tied to the running Perl, cleared only by a writable Perl earlier on PATH. Addresses #1983.

• [gem] Document that on recent macOS the system Ruby’s bundled gems surface as outdated yet cannot be upgraded in place, and point to running mpm against a writable Ruby earlier on PATH as the fix.

7.4.0 (2026-07-25)

Note

7.4.0 is available on 🐍 PyPI and 🐙 GitHub.

• [mpm] Raise the click-extra floor from 8.4.0 to 8.6.0, the release shipping the OperationTrail batch ✓/✗ trail upstreamed from mpm’s own dispatch layer, which mpm now consumes from the published package instead of a git checkout.

• [mpm] The Python and click-extra compatibility tables of the documentation read newest-first on both axes, following click-extra 8.6.0’s {matrix} ordering defaults: the most recent compatibility information sits in the upper-left corner.

• [mpm] Bump the packaging pins of click-extra to 8.6.0 and the Nix pin of extra-platforms to 13.3.1 across the Nix, MacPorts and Alpine overlays, to match mpm’s dependency floors.

• Breaking: [mpm] Remove the PackageManager.query_parts class method: Package.query_parts is the canonical query tokenizer.

• Breaking: [mpm] The SBOM stats() dictionaries drop the components_in_document (CycloneDX) and relationships_total (SPDX) keys, which no consumer read.

• Breaking: [mpm] Rename the manager deprecated flag to unmaintained and broaden it to cover abandoned or inactive upstreams (archived, years without a release, formally superseded, or a discontinued platform), not just officially retired projects. The deprecation_url attribute becomes an unmaintained_message markdown block rendered into the documentation, and the [mpm.managers.<id>] config override key deprecated is likewise renamed to unmaintained.

• [mpm] Flag apt-cyg, pacaur and swupd as unmaintained, joining apm: their upstreams are archived, abandoned or belong to a discontinued platform, so they are hidden from default selection and dropped from the test matrices. Name them explicitly or pass --all-managers to still drive them.

• [mpm] Add a maintenance_note attribute that renders a note admonition atop a manager’s documentation page for still-maintained but slowing or superseded upstreams worth watching (cave, dnf, fink, sorcery, stew, sun-tools, tazpkg, yarn, yum).

• [mpm] Drop the unmaintained pacapt, sysget and whohas tools from the benchmark comparison and add a note pointing their users to mpm as an actively-maintained replacement covering the same cross-manager operations.

• [mpm] Package managers gain shared parse_regex_lines and parse_json_items engines on the base class: configuration-defined operations and built-in managers now parse their listings through the same code path.

• [mpm] The action commands (install, remove, upgrade, restore) name failed packages uniformly as id@version in their end-of-run critical: summary, instead of a mix of raw purls and bare IDs.

• [mpm] doctor singularizes its end-of-run summary when a single manager reports problems.

• [mpm] dump --merge and dump --update-version no longer misreport an existing target file as about to be overwritten, and only disclose the inert --overwrite flag when it was actually passed.

• [brew,cask] cleanup invokes the cache scrub with the long-form --scrub flag.

• [mpm] Add a --plan/-p option that prints the exact package-manager commands each state-changing operation would run, without running them. Read-only queries (installed, outdated, search) still execute, so install, remove and upgrade --all resolve to the commands they would actually run; the plan prints to stdout, one copy-pasteable command per line.

• [mpm] Add an --orphans option to remove that also drops the dependencies the package alone pulled in, mapped to each manager’s native scoped cascade verb (apt remove --auto-remove, pacman --remove --recursive, dnf autoremove, xbps-remove --recursive, zypper remove --clean-deps). Managers with no such verb remove the package only. mpm builds no dependency graph: it delegates the reverse-dependency reasoning to the manager.

• [mpm] cleanup decomposes into cumulative categories, each with a two-sided flag pair: --orphans/--skip-orphans (system-wide orphan sweep: apt autoremove, brew autoremove, flatpak uninstall --unused), --cache/--skip-cache (caches, downloads and left-over artifacts, the category a monolithic cleanup amounts to) and --repair/--skip-repair (local state verification, like flatpak repair). Positive flags narrow the run to the listed categories, skip flags subtract them, and a plain cleanup runs the cache and repair categories only: the orphan sweep is the one category removing packages, so it stays strictly behind --orphans, uniformly across managers, just as remove keeps its dependency cascade behind the same flag. The per-manager narration and the ✓/✗ trail name the categories dispatched to each manager (✓ brew (cache)). A manager with no native sweep verb but a native orphan listing gets the sweep synthesized from its orphans query, removing the listed orphans one by one until none are left (the in-process equivalent of Arch’s pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qtdq) idiom, covering pacman, its AUR helpers and zypper); the synthesized sweep only engages on an explicit --orphans, so a skip flag can never remove packages a plain cleanup would have left alone.

• [mpm] Add an orphans subcommand listing the packages installed as dependencies that nothing requires anymore, without removing them. Each manager reports through its native read-only query (pacman --query --deps --unrequired, brew autoremove --dry-run, dnf repoquery --unneeded, zypper packages --unneeded, pkg autoremove --dry-run, apt autoremove --simulate, xbps-query --list-orphans, emerge --depclean --pretend, cave purge in its default pretend mode, pkg_delete -a -n). Supports the same query filtering, table projection and serialization as installed.

• [mpm] Add a doctor subcommand (aliases check and diagnose) running each manager’s native self-diagnosis (brew doctor, pip check, pacman --database --check, npm doctor, dnf check, gem check, composer diagnose, mise doctor, apt-get check, pkg check --checksums, xbps-pkgdb --all, flatpak repair --dry-run, scoop checkup, port diagnose, tlmgr check all). Read-only: health is read from each command’s exit code, the report (merging <stdout> and <stderr>) is relayed verbatim, and the run exits non-zero when any manager reports problems, so it can gate a CI job (-0/--zero-exit opts out).

• [mpm] Configuration-defined managers can declare remove_orphan, cleanup_orphan, cleanup_cache, cleanup_repair, doctor and orphans operations, wiring them to remove --orphans, the cleanup category flags and the orphans subcommand.

• Breaking: [mpm] cleanup is no longer an operation managers define: every manager now declares cleanup category methods only (cleanup_orphan, cleanup_cache, cleanup_repair), and PackageManager.cleanup() composes the natively implemented ones. Monolithic cleanups across the pool were reclassified as cleanup_cache, and a configuration-defined manager declaring the old cleanup operation is rejected with an error naming the category keys.

• [cave,pkg-tools] Their cleanup commands, both orphan sweeps (cave purge, pkg_delete -a), are re-declared as cleanup_orphan: cleanup --orphans now reaches them and cleanup --cache leaves them alone.

• [apt,apt-mint,brew,cask,cave,dnf,dnf5,emerge,pkg,pkg-tools,xbps,yum] Plain cleanup no longer removes orphaned packages: their native sweeps moved behind cleanup --orphans. This also stops emerge’s cleanup from triggering its pre-depclean world upgrade unless --orphans is given.

• [emerge] The cleanup steps split into cleanup_orphan (the safety upgrade plus --depclean) and cleanup_cache (eclean distfiles), giving emerge native cleanup --orphans support.

• [uv] cleanup skips uv’s cache commands when mpm itself was launched by uv run or uvx, whose parent process locks the cache for as long as mpm lives: each uv cache command would otherwise wait on its own ancestor for UV_LOCK_TIMEOUT (300 seconds by default) and fail, stalling the cleanup for ten minutes.

• [dnf,dnf5,xbps,yum] remove no longer cascades to orphaned dependencies by default: a plain removal keeps them. Use the new remove --orphans to restore the previous behavior.

• [mpm] Every supported package manager gets a dedicated documentation page detailing its platforms, operations and backfilled capabilities, CLI invocation and version probe, escalation and cooldown behaviors, purl types, selection and configuration examples and the captured native outputs its parsers were written against, all rendered live from the manager declarations at Sphinx build time. A new hub page indexes the 72 pages, and manager IDs in the readme’s operation matrix, the benchmark table and the augmentations table now link to them.

• [mpm] Each per-manager documentation page opens with a “What mpm adds to <id>” section, pitched at a reader who already knows the native tool: the capabilities mpm backfills for that manager (synthesized upgrade --all, orphan sweep, --exact/--extended search), the cross-manager reach naming its purl-ecosystem neighbors, and the universal augmentations. Derived live from the capability declarations, so it describes only what mpm does and never overstates a native limitation.

• [winget] Documentation samples use the conventional > PowerShell prompt instead of PS C:\Users\kev>, reconnecting them to the corpus harvester: the documented commands are now validated against the constructed ones, the manager page gains its full Rosetta table and a clean version transcript, and the reference traces render under proper pwsh-session fences. The full and single-package upgrade samples show the exact winget update --all and winget install invocations mpm runs, and the agreement-prompt and different-install-technology illustrations move to non-fixture console fences.

• [mpm] Each per-manager documentation page gains a Rosetta table mapping the manager’s own commands (uv pip list, brew install, pacman --sync, …) to their one-to-one mpm equivalents, harvested from the operation methods’ documented samples, and a recipes section with copy-paste snapshot/restore, SBOM export and CI-health-gate commands. The cooldown section now frames release-age gating as a supply-chain guard, the invocation section explains the forced arguments and environment as CI-friendly defaults, and the reference-traces section notes how the same raw output unifies through mpm.

• [mpm] Add a MacPorts Portfile overlay under packaging/macports, carrying the port plus the dependency ports missing from the official tree, tested by a new macports-source job.

• [macports] Meta Package Manager is now available in MacPorts upstream, installable with sudo port install meta-package-manager and tested by a new macports job.

• [macports,pkg,snap] Mutating operations now escalate through sudo by default, matching each tool’s canonical invocation (sudo port install, sudo pkg install, sudo snap install): MacPorts installs root-owned under /opt/local, the FreeBSD pkg frontend gains the markers its ports sibling already had, and snapd denies state changes from an unprivileged client. Opt out with --no-sudo or a per-manager sudo = false override. pkg passes IGNORE_OSVERSION as a command-line option now, which survives the sudo environment reset where the environment variable would be stripped.

• [cpan,gem] The write operations carry dormant privileged markers like pip and npm: --sudo or a per-manager sudo = true override escalates installs into a system Perl or Ruby. Nothing escalates by default.

• [fwupd] Mutating operations no longer escalate through sudo, aligning fwupd with the other polkit-native daemon clients (flatpak, pkcon): fwupdmgr hands firmware writes to the fwupd daemon over D-Bus, which authorizes them through polkit. Under a strict polkit policy, unattended mutations need a rule permitting them without interactive authentication, or an mpm run as root.

• [pacstall,topgrade] Marked as internal escalators (internal_sudo): pacstall re-execs itself through sudo pacstall and topgrade runs each privileged step through its own sudo, so mpm never wraps them, keeps a warm credential cache alive for their mid-run escalations, and watches for hidden password prompts.

• [pacman] sync now escalates through sudo like its other write commands: refreshing the sync databases writes root-owned state.

• [dnf,dnf5] cleanup --cache now escalates through sudo: dnf clean all clears the root-owned package cache.

• [mpm] Refresh the benchmark page operations table: new List orphaned dependencies row, the autoremove row re-scoped to the remove --orphans cascade, and mpm’s new orphans and doctor capabilities credited. Every competitor column is re-audited at its current release (topgrade 17.8.0, pacaptr 0.23.1, brew 6.0.12): capabilities only reachable bundled inside another operation are downgraded to 🟡, Homebrew’s concurrent-execution cell flips to supported (brew bundle install --jobs now installs across backends in parallel), and the negative-evidence links are re-verified, two of them pinned to the maintainer’s exact comment.

• [mpm] Add an Alpine Linux APKBUILD overlay under packaging/alpine, carrying the package plus the 4 dependency packages missing from the official aports tree, tested by a new apk-source job.

• [mpm] Regroup all downstream packaging knowledge on a new packaging.md documentation page: the test-suite wiring for distribution packagers, the dependency graph, the click-extra compatibility matrix, and a per-channel catalog with the build-from-spec instructions previously spread across the install page tabs. The install page now targets end users only, and the binaries catalog moves to the development section of the documentation.

• [mpm] Ship tests/, docs/ and the .github/ workflow files in the PyPI sdist (kept out of the wheel), so distribution packagers can build and run the suite straight from the sdist instead of fetching a GitHub tag tarball.

• [mpm] Split the test suite with a new integration marker: writable-$HOME builders run the hermetic layer with pytest -m "not integration" instead of a per-module ignore list. Repo-maintenance sync guards skip outside a git checkout, and the SBOM test modules skip when their optional extras are absent, so a lean build no longer needs to ignore them.

• Breaking: [mpm] Rename the --show-params introspection flag to --params, and its environment variable from MPM_SHOW_PARAMS to MPM_PARAMS, following click-extra’s own rename.

• [mpm] Manager invocations now run in their own POSIX session and process group: a timeout or Ctrl+C kills the whole process tree, so a wedged manager CLI leaves no orphaned grandchildren behind. The mutating call of an internal escalator on a cold sudo credential cache is the exception: it keeps the terminal, leaving its password prompt answerable.

• [mpm] managers now honors the global --timeout for the version probes feeding its table: its selection bypassed the option plumbing, so the probes always ran at the 120-second read-only default and a wedged binary held its row for that long regardless of the option.

• [mpm] The benchmark manager-support table and the augmentations table keep a generated copy in their Markdown sources, between <!-- mirror --> markers below their python:render blocks: reviewable in raw diffs and rendered on GitHub, refreshed by click-extra refresh-directives, while Sphinx builds keep rendering the live output.

• [mpm] Convert every docstring and comment of the code base from reStructuredText to MyST markdown, rendered through click-extra’s myst_docstrings Sphinx extension, which converts them back to reST at build time so autodoc keeps working. The CLI-session fixtures documented in manager docstrings now live in ```{code-block} shell-session fences, the corpus harvester reads the fence form, and the manager documentation pages inline the MyST class docstrings directly instead of wrapping them in an {eval-rst} block.

• [mpm] The binaries download table of the install page is now generated from the binaries catalog at Sphinx build time, restoring working links after binary assets gained versioned filenames.

• [bar-plugin] Fix a crash when probing an mpm invocation whose binary does not exist: the failed probe now reports the error instead of raising UnboundLocalError.

• [bar-plugin] Version-diff colors now reach SwiftBar and Xbar: the highlighting introduced in 7.3.0 never rendered in the menu bar, because the plugin captures mpm outdated --plugin-output through a pipe, where the automatic color detection stripped every ANSI code. Plugin output now keeps its colors on any output stream, unless colorization is explicitly disabled (--color=never, NO_COLOR). ANSI codes captured inside relayed error messages are stripped instead, since error lines are marked ansi=false. The unchanged-version prefix also moves from bright-black to a theme-neutral xterm-256 mid-gray on menu lines only: SwiftBar maps bright-black to a fixed dark gray, near-invisible on dark-mode menus, while the mpm outdated table keeps the terminal-themed bright-black.

• [bar-plugin] An outdated package whose manager provides no single-package upgrade command no longer crashes the rendering: its menu line simply carries no upgrade action.

• [pacaur,paru,yay] The AUR helpers are no longer wrapped in sudo: they refuse or break under root (makepkg rejects root builds, paru aborts AUR transactions, pacaur aborts its sync operations) and escalate through their own internal sudo pacman calls, which mpm now tracks with the internal_sudo marker (warm credential-cache keepalive, hidden-prompt watchdog). This also lets yay’s cooldown environment overlay reach the process, where the sudo wrap used to strip it.

• [pkg] installed now lists every package registered in the pkg database instead of only explicitly-requested ones: the %a = 0 automatic-flag filter is dropped, and the query invocation loses the literal quote characters it carried, aligning it with the ports invocation reading the same database.

• [mpm] A failed manager command now relays the tail of its captured <stderr> (or <stdout> when <stderr> is empty) as a warning: tagged with the manager ID, at the moment of failure and across every operation, instead of keeping it at DEBUG only. A successful command’s <stderr> chatter stays at DEBUG, version probes and doctor are exempt, and the end-of-run error summary now points at --verbosity DEBUG for the full transcript only, no longer as the way to see why a command failed. Closes #1968.

7.3.0 (2026-07-17)

Note

7.3.0 is available on 🐍 PyPI and 🐙 GitHub.

• Breaking: [mpm] Move the declarative-manager schema, validation and class factory into the new meta_package_manager.definitions module, out of meta_package_manager.config (which keeps the loading policy: trust gate, override application, registration passes) and meta_package_manager.manager (which keeps the base class only).

• Breaking: [mpm] Move the cross-manager fan-out machinery (collect_from_managers, collect_per_package, OperationTrail, the shared-lock families and the jobs policy) into the new meta_package_manager.dispatch module, out of meta_package_manager.execution (which keeps the single-subprocess engine).

• Breaking: [mpm] Move the per-command column registries and the table-projection and serialization helpers into the new meta_package_manager.tables module, which also absorbs the meta_package_manager.sorting module and its SortableField vocabulary.

• Breaking: [mpm] meta_package_manager.sbom no longer re-exports the SBOM writers: import them from meta_package_manager.sbom.base, meta_package_manager.sbom.spdx and meta_package_manager.sbom.cyclonedx.

• [mpm] Manager definitions gain three schema features: per-refinement search argument templates (exact_args, extended_args and id_name_only_args, spliced at their {marker} position when the matching mpm search flag is active, and advertising native support), a [N] list-index suffix on JSON field selectors, and sudo = true on query operations for tools that gate even their read-only listings behind root.

• [mpm] Malformed JSON output from a manager’s query now logs a warning tagged with the manager ID and yields no packages, instead of crashing the command; built-in managers and config-defined operations share the same parse_json implementation.

• [choco] Convert from a Python class to a bundled configuration definition, the native exact and ID-restricted search switches declared through the new refinement templates.

• [macports] Convert from a Python class to a bundled configuration definition, the native exact/extended search switches declared through the new refinement templates. The optional description column of its search results is no longer populated.

• [stew] Convert from a Python class to a bundled configuration definition, its two installed-listing regexes merged into one alternation, with no functional change.

• [zerobrew] Convert from a Python class to a bundled configuration definition, its installed-versions array read through the new [N] field selector, with no functional change.

• [mpm] The --query, --exact and --overwrite options of dump and sbom now share a single definition and help text.

• [mpm] Fix the bar-plugin labeller file rule, whose glob targeted a directory and could never match the plugin’s module files.

• [bar-plugin] The <xbar.version> header tracks the package version again: it fell out of the version-bump configuration during the bump-my-version migration and was stuck at 7.0.0.dev0.

• [mpm] Sudo priming now probes the credential cache before any prompt: found warm (a prior sudo --validate, a NOPASSWD rule), it is silently kept alive for the whole run. The password notice names the escalating managers and the subcommand (apt needs administrator rights to upgrade: enter your password.), the sudo prompt is branded ([mpm] password for apt:), and the no-terminal warning names the managers left to fail fast. A host whose sudo is missing or cannot be run logs a warning instead of crashing.

• [mpm] Add an internal_sudo marker for managers whose CLI runs sudo itself mid-run and is never wrapped by mpm: cask and fink adopt it, and manager definitions may set it as a config field. A warm credential cache found at priming time is now kept alive for internal escalators too.

• [mpm] A mutating call of an internal escalator that goes silent for 30 seconds on a terminal, with no warm credential cache, now logs a warning that it may be waiting on a hidden password prompt, quoting its last output line. Addresses #1938.

• [mpm] --verbosity INFO now discloses every package manager CLI invocation as a reproducible $-prompt line, forced environment variables included. Version-detection probes stay at DEBUG.

• [mpm] The output of package manager CLIs now streams to DEBUG logs live, line by line and tagged with the manager ID, instead of being dumped once the call completes. Closes #528.

• [mpm] Streamed CLI output and manager-scoped log lines glue the manager ID into their level prefix (debug:mas: ..., warning:gem: Could not list installed packages.), making logs grep-able by manager. Closes #530.

• [mpm] Disclosed CLI invocations are themed by token family: dim prompt sigil, environment name/value assignment pairs, highlighted binary name (directory plain, in the $-prompt and spawn-trace lines), option-styled flags.

• [mpm] --no-color now also strips the color of log lines emitted from background threads (streamed subprocess output, concurrent fan-outs).

• [mpm] The capability probe logs one answered DEBUG line per manager (brew implements installed.) instead of an unanswered question exposing the raw class repr.

• [mpm] Add -0/--zero-exit: action commands then report per-package failures without gating automation on a non-zero exit code. Usage and configuration errors keep exiting 2.

• [mpm] Add a --columns option to the table-rendering subcommands (managers, installed, outdated, search, which): a comma-separated list of column IDs restricts and reorders the table, SQL-SELECT-style, validated against each command’s column registry. mpm search’s description column joins the registry: --description is now a shorthand for selecting it, and an explicit --columns selection wins. Serialized formats keep the full structured payload.

• [mpm] The mpm managers table’s binary-path highlighting is delegated to click-extra’s highlight_bin_name, the same renderer as the $-prompt and spawn-trace log lines.

• [mpm] Log lines emitted while a progress spinner animates now print on their own line above it, instead of garbling the in-progress frame.

• [mpm] Delegate subprocess spawning, output streaming, timeout enforcement and Ctrl+C child termination to click-extra, raising its floor from 8.3.0 to 8.4.0.

• [mpm] Authenticate the GitHub API release lookups in the Guix, Nix and yay cooldown workflow jobs, which flaked on the anonymous rate limit.

• [mpm] The per-manager table of the augmentations page now renders live at Sphinx build time, derived from the capability declarations in the manager implementations. Drops steamcmd’s stale full-upgrade --all row.

• [mpm] The PyPI keywords and the labeller file/content rules in pyproject.toml are now generated from the manager pool by docs/docs_update.py. Every bundled manager gains labeller coverage, definition-file globs are anchored on their full stem, and the chocotaley keyword typo is fixed.

• [mpm] Bundled manager definitions now embed their version-probe and parser output samples in a [samples] table of their own TOML file; the test suite derives its checks from the shipped files instead of hardcoded per-manager fixtures.

• [bar-plugin] Version differences are now highlighted in the outdated-package menu lines, with the same coloring as mpm outdated: common prefix gray, installed suffix red, latest suffix green. Package lines carry ansi=true so both SwiftBar and Xbar render the colors.

• [mpm] Delegate --cooldown duration parsing and the cross-command --sort-by machinery to click-extra, keeping the same per-table sorting semantics. -s/--sort-by now renders at the end of its option group in help screens.

• [mpm] mpm which joins the sortable-table commands instead of ignoring --sort-by, its manager column leading the default sort.

• [mpm] docs/docs_update.py now renders the pyproject.toml label arrays in pyproject-fmt’s canonical style, ending the pull-request ping-pong between the update-docs and format-pyproject autofix jobs. A new test asserts the rewritten sections stay a pyproject-fmt fixpoint.

• [mpm] The dump and Brewfile provenance headers and the bar-plugin upgrade notice now write the bare package version, dropping their v prefix.

• [cask] upgrade --all now passes --greedy to brew upgrade when auto-updating packages are included, matching the outdated behavior. Auto-updating casks reported as outdated were never upgraded. Closes #1940.

• [pipx] outdated now relies on pipx’s native pipx list --outdated query on pipx 1.16.0 and newer: all venvs are checked in a single call, each by its own backend (pip or uv). Older pipx keeps the previous per-venv pip probes.

7.2.0 (2026-07-09)

Note

7.2.0 is available on 🐍 PyPI and 🐙 GitHub.

• [mpm] Config-defined managers gain multi-binary support: a per-operation cli key runs an operation through a sibling binary, and version_cli probes an alternate binary for tool suites exposing no version flag.

• [mpm] Config-defined managers gain privilege support: sudo = true marks an operation privileged, the new default_sudo field sets the manager-wide default, and both honor the global --sudo/--no-sudo policy.

• [mpm] Manager definitions gain Brewfile export mappings: the new definition-only brewfile_entry_type and brewfile_skip_warning fields mirror the class attributes consumed by mpm dump --brewfile.

• [mpm] Relax and harden the definition schema: an installed query may capture no version, a search may omit the {query} placeholder and rely on client-side refiltering, and unrecognized {placeholder} tokens in operation args are rejected at load time.

• [apt-cyg] Add apt-cyg (Cygwin) package manager with installed, search, install, remove and sync support on Windows/Cygwin; a bundled configuration-defined manager.

• [cave] Add cave (Exherbo’s Paludis client) with installed, install, upgrade, remove, sync and cleanup support; a bundled configuration-defined manager.

• [chromebrew] Add Chromebrew (crew) package manager with installed, search, install, upgrade, remove and sync support on ChromeOS; a bundled configuration-defined manager.

• [fink] Add Fink package manager with installed, search, install, upgrade, remove, sync and cleanup support on macOS; a bundled configuration-defined manager.

• [pkcon] Add PackageKit’s console client (pkcon) with installed, outdated, search, install, upgrade, remove and sync support on Linux. Requires PackageKit >=0.7.0.

• [pkg-tools] Add OpenBSD’s pkg tools (pkg_add/pkg_info/pkg_delete) with installed, search, install, upgrade, remove and cleanup support; a bundled configuration-defined manager.

• [pkgin] Add pkgin (NetBSD pkgsrc) package manager with installed, outdated, search, install, upgrade, remove, sync and cleanup support; a bundled configuration-defined manager.

• [slapt-get] Add slapt-get (Slackware) package manager with installed, search, install, upgrade, remove, sync and cleanup support; a bundled configuration-defined manager.

• [sorcery] Add Sorcery (Source Mage GNU/Linux) package manager with installed, search, install, upgrade, remove, sync and cleanup support; a bundled configuration-defined manager.

• [sun-tools] Add Solaris’ SVR4 package tools (pkginfo/pkgrm) with installed and remove support: SVR4 packages come from local media, so there is no repository to search, install from or upgrade against.

• [swupd] Add Clear Linux’s swupd with installed, search, install, upgrade --all, remove and cleanup support, operating on bundles; a bundled configuration-defined manager.

• [tazpkg] Add TazPkg (SliTaz GNU/Linux) package manager with installed, search, install, upgrade, remove, sync and cleanup support.

• [tlmgr] Add TeX Live Manager (tlmgr) with installed, outdated, search, install, upgrade, remove, sync and cleanup support, cross-platform; a bundled configuration-defined manager. Requires TeX Live >=2018.

• [urpmi] Add urpmi (Mageia and the Mandriva lineage) with installed, outdated, search, install, upgrade, remove, sync and cleanup support; a bundled configuration-defined manager.

• [mpm] mpm is now a strict superset of pacaptr, pacapt, sysget and whohas: every package manager those tools support is now wrapped.

• [mpm] Convert the cargo and opkg managers from Python classes to bundled configuration definitions; the optional description column of their search results is no longer populated.

• [mpm] Convert the cpan, steamcmd, topgrade, vscode and vscodium managers from Python classes to bundled configuration definitions, with no functional change.

• [gh-ext] Report installed extensions by their owner/repo slug instead of the bare extension name, so the ids returned by mpm installed and mpm backup feed back into install, remove, upgrade and restore.

• [mpm] Require click-extra 8.3 and extra-platforms 13.1 or newer.

• [mpm] Rename the stats configuration key to summary, matching the --summary option; add sudo, jobs and network to the typed configuration schema; stop advertising a flat 500 default for timeout, which is resolved per operation.

• [mpm] Render the configuration reference, the CLI reference and the benchmark’s manager-support table live at documentation build time, through click-extra’s click:config, click:tree and python:render directives; drop sphinx-click.

• [mpm] Fix benchmark data: merge the duplicate OpenBSD (pkg-mgr/pkg-tools), gh-ext and pwsh-gallery rows; add missing pkcon, fink, sorcery and urpmi rows; fix winget, dnf, scoop and cask competitor flags.

• [mpm] Make the binaries catalog table searchable and sortable, with relative-age hints on release dates.

• [mpm] Exercise every subcommand’s --help screen against the compiled binaries in the CLI test plan.

• [mpm] Extend the destructive install/remove test round-trip to the bundled configuration-defined managers; CI exercises it for real against gh-ext.

7.1.0 (2026-07-07)

Note

7.1.0 is available on 🐍 PyPI and 🐙 GitHub.

• Breaking: [mpm] Split the [sbom] extra into [sbom-offline] (CycloneDX and SPDX document rendering) and [sbom-online] (the --network vulnerability lookups). pip install meta-package-manager[sbom] no longer resolves: use [sbom-offline] for the previous behavior, adding [sbom-online] for vulnerability scanning.

• [mpm] Define brand-new package managers from the configuration file: a [mpm.managers.<id>] section declares a manager’s platforms, CLI and version detection, and per-operation commands with regex or JSON parsers. Defined managers get --<id> / --no-<id> selectors and join the default set.

• [mpm] Manager definitions load only from a trusted local config file (owned by you, not world-writable, never a remote --config URL), and a command-redirecting override (pre_cmds, cli_names, cli_search_path) read from an untrusted source now warns: see the new Security model page.

• [mpm] Ship package managers as bundled configuration definitions: TOML files under meta_package_manager/managers/, built through the same schema as a user’s [mpm.managers.<id>] section but loaded at startup like built-ins and exempt from the config-file trust gate.

• [gh-ext] Add GitHub CLI extensions (gh extension) manager with installed, search, install, upgrade, and remove support, cross-platform on Linux, macOS, and Windows; mpm’s first bundled configuration-defined manager. Requires gh >=2.0.0.

• [soar] Add Soar (pkgforge) package manager with installed, search, install, upgrade, remove, sync, and cleanup support on Linux; a bundled configuration-defined manager. Requires soar >=0.12.0.

• [conda] Add Conda package manager with installed, outdated, search, install, upgrade, remove, and cleanup support, cross-platform on Linux, macOS, and Windows; requires conda >=4.6.0.

• [mpm] Add a global --network / --no-network flag (default off) that opts into network calls during a run.

• [mpm] mpm --network sbom queries OSV.dev for known vulnerabilities across OSV’s indexed ecosystems (pip, npm, cargo, gem, composer): CycloneDX gains a vulnerabilities array, SPDX per-package SECURITY external references, and the end-of-run summary a vulnerability count.

• [mpm] OSV responses are cached on disk; network failures, a missing extra, or an unwritable cache degrade gracefully to an SBOM without vulnerability data.

• [mpm] Privilege escalation is now per-manager: system package managers still run state-changing operations through sudo by default, and a new global --sudo / --no-sudo flag or per-manager [mpm.managers.<id>] sudo config key overrides that either way. Resolves #1295 and #33.

• [mpm] Escalating commands authenticate sudo once up front and run through sudo -n, so a password prompt no longer stalls the concurrent fan-out; off a terminal, managers needing root fail fast with a message pointing at --sudo instead of hanging.

• [yay] Honor --cooldown by overlaying a generated init.lua through a private XDG_CONFIG_HOME, holding back AUR upgrades and installs newer than the release-age floor while preserving the user’s own yay config. Requires yay 13.0.0 for its Lua hooks.

• [mpm] The CLI gains a global --export-config FORMAT option that prints the fully-resolved configuration (config file, environment, and defaults merged) as toml, yaml, json, json5, jsonc, hjson, or xml, then exits.

• [mpm] Managers sharing a backend lock (brew/cask, apt/apt-mint/deb-get, the RPM and pacman families) now run serially within their family during state-changing commands; members resolving to an identical command run it once. Fixes spurious cask failures when syncing alongside brew.

• [mpm] A single Ctrl+C now aborts a concurrent command promptly: the first interrupt terminates in-flight package-manager subprocesses, so the thread pool drains and the run exits cleanly instead of hanging until a second Ctrl+C and a threading-shutdown traceback.

• [mpm] --timeout now also bounds the manager version-detection probes, not just the operation that follows, so a wedged binary cannot outlast the limit during startup detection.

• [bar-plugin] Cap each mpm call the plugin makes at 60 seconds via --timeout, so a wedged package manager fails the menubar refresh in about a minute instead of stalling it for several.

• [mpm] Raise the click-extra floor from 8.1.1 to 8.2.0, the first release shipping the concurrency primitives, the --export-config option, and the compatibility-matrix machinery mpm relies on.

• [guix] Meta Package Manager is now available in GNU Guix upstream, installable with guix install meta-package-manager.

• [guix] Rename the reference package to meta-package-manager, fetch its source from the tagged git commit, build it with setuptools.build_meta, drop the now-optional SBOM and more-itertools inputs, and fix the python-packageurl input name so guix install --load-path=packaging/guix resolves.

• [nix] Drop the now-optional SBOM and more-itertools dependencies from the reference package definition.

• [pip] Only target a Python the user can actually install into: mpm’s own bundled virtualenv and externally-managed interpreters (PEP 668) are skipped, so distro-managed packages no longer surface as bogus outdated pip upgrades. Supersedes the dependency-tree filter from #1767.

• [pip] Probe the Python interpreter version under the short read-only timeout instead of the long state-changing default.

• [mpm] The --cooldown help now shows [default: (disabled)] instead of the bare [default: ""], so the unset state reads as a word rather than an empty string.

• [dnf] upgrade and upgrade --all now pass --assumeyes, as the other dnf operations already did, so upgrades no longer hang on an interactive confirmation prompt.

• [eopkg] upgrade --all now passes --yes-all, matching the single-package upgrade, so it no longer hangs on an interactive confirmation prompt.

• [fwupd] Fix version-pinned installs: the device ID and release version were joined into a single CLI argument that fwupdmgr could not parse.

• [npm] install no longer passes --no-fund and --no-audit twice.

• [mpm] The installation page now documents which Python and click-extra versions each mpm release accepts, in tables regenerated from the release tags and guarded by a drift test.

• [mpm] Catalog every released standalone binary on a new documentation page, linking each platform build to its download and public VirusTotal analysis, with a detection-rate trend chart.

• [mpm] Add a hermetic test replaying each manager’s documented CLI samples through its own parsers and command builders, covering installed, outdated, --version, and the mutation commands; corrected the stale samples flagged across a dozen managers. Toward #1023.

7.0.1 (2026-06-27)

Note

7.0.1 is available on 🐍 PyPI and 🐙 GitHub.

• [mpm] Fix ParameterSource import from older Click dependency.

7.0.0 (2026-06-26)

Note

7.0.0 is available on 🐍 PyPI and 🐙 GitHub.

• Breaking: [mpm] Rename the --allow-no-cooldown flag to the --require-cooldown-support/--allow-unsupported-managers pair, and its allow_no_cooldown config to require_cooldown_support (default true).

• Breaking: [mpm] The sort_by configuration option is now a list of fields, matching the repeatable --sort-by. Wrap an existing scalar value in brackets: sort_by = "package_id" becomes sort_by = ["package_id"].

• [pnpm] Add the pnpm package manager (installed, outdated, search, install, upgrade, remove, cleanup), enforcing --cooldown via pnpm’s native minimumReleaseAge gate.

• [mpm] Filter the package listing by a query: installed and outdated take an optional QUERY argument and dump/backup/sbom a --query option, fuzzy by default with --exact/--fuzzy to control it.

• [mpm] --sort-by/-s is now repeatable, ordering result tables by several fields in priority order (like --sort-by package_id --sort-by manager_id).

• [mpm] Run managers in parallel via a new --jobs/-j option (default: CPU count minus one), covering the read-only queries, the maintenance commands, the inventory exporters, and the state changers; DEBUG verbosity forces sequential runs. Closes #529.

• [mpm] Show a progress spinner with elapsed time on <stderr> while manager CLI calls run, toggled with click-extra’s --progress/--no-progress.

• [mpm] install, remove, upgrade, restore, sync, and cleanup now print a per-attempt ✓/✗ trail and a finisher on an interactive terminal: per-package for the package commands, per-manager for sync/cleanup/upgrade --all.

• [mpm] The standalone binary now reads configuration in all six formats (toml, yaml, json5, jsonc, hjson, xml), matching the source distribution.

• [mpm] Lower the default verbosity from INFO to WARNING, leaving only the ✓/✗ trail, finishers, and genuine warnings on screen; per-operation narration moves to INFO and raw technical detail to DEBUG.

• [mpm] --timeout now defaults per-operation (120s for read-only queries, 500s for state-changing operations) instead of a flat 500s; an explicit --timeout still overrides.

• [mpm] install, remove, upgrade <packages>, and restore now exit non-zero when a target fails or no manager can fulfill the request, instead of always reporting 0.

• [mpm] Fix install/remove/upgrade dropping all but one target when the same package is given with several explicit managers; install now acts on every requested package instead of stopping at the first success.

• [mpm] Fix install, remove, and upgrade reporting success when a manager’s CLI fails with a non-zero exit code but empty error output, like steamcmd’s anonymous-login failure on Windows.

• [eopkg] Fix installed, outdated, and search returning no packages.

• [mpm] Compare a leading version epoch (1:2.0, 1!2.0) as a dominant component, so epoch bumps order correctly across Debian, RPM, pacman, and PEP 440 schemes.

• [mpm] Resolve pkg:apk purls to the apk manager and pkg:npm purls to pnpm; both were missing from the purl-to-manager map.

6.6.0 (2026-06-17)

Note

6.6.0 is available on 🐍 PyPI and 🐙 GitHub.

• Breaking: [mpm] Rename the global --stats / --no-stats flag to --summary / --no-summary. Scripts passing the old flag must update.

• Breaking: [mpm] Move cyclonedx-python-lib and spdx-tools into a new [sbom] extra: mpm sbom now requires pip install meta-package-manager[sbom]. packageurl-python stays in the runtime install. The standalone binary distribution keeps shipping SBOM support: [tool.repomatic] nuitka.extras = ["sbom"] syncs the extra into the build venv and [tool.nuitka] include-package = ["cyclonedx", "spdx_tools"] forces Nuitka to bundle the try/except-guarded imports.

• [asdf] Add asdf package manager (installed, outdated, search, install, upgrade, upgrade_all, remove, sync) on Linux and macOS; requires asdf >=0.16.0.

• [mise] Add mise package manager (installed, outdated, search, install, upgrade, upgrade_all, remove, sync, cleanup), cross-platform; requires mise >=2025.5.10.

• [mpm] Add the --man (roff man page) and --accessible (no ANSI or Unicode, for screen readers) global options from click-extra, and attach an mpm-manpages.tar.gz asset to each release.

• [mpm] Add a --cooldown DURATION option and [mpm] cooldown config to refuse installing or upgrading package versions newer than a given release age, as a supply-chain mitigation; unsupported managers are skipped unless --allow-no-cooldown.

• [brew] Adapt to Homebrew 6.0.0: pass --yes to brew upgrade to suppress the new interactive prompt, and trust tap-qualified installs before installing to avoid tap trust is required aborts. Bumps minimum brew from 2.7.0 to 6.0.0.

• [zerobrew] Add upgrade and upgrade_all support via zb upgrade, and bump minimum zb from 0.2.0 to 0.3.0.

• [mpm] Make mpm sbom maximalist by default, collecting rich per-package metadata (license, supplier, homepage, checksums, dependency graph) into SPDX and CycloneDX exports, with --minimal for the bare inventory.

• [mpm] Attach canonical SPDX URLs to each identifier inside compound license expressions in CycloneDX 1.7 output (licenses[].expressionDetails[]).

• [mpm] Reduce default-verbosity noise on operational subcommands: captured stderr and implicit-selection Skip messages drop to DEBUG, with a one-line error summary at the end of any subcommand whose CLIs accumulated errors.

• [mpm] Fix pkg:cpan/…, pkg:guix/…, and pkg:nix/… pURL specifiers raising Unrecognized pURL type even though those managers are implemented.

6.5.1 (2026-05-28)

Note

6.5.1 is available on 🐍 PyPI and 🐙 GitHub.

• [mpm] Define mpm’s own OK_GLYPH (✓) and KO_GLYPH (✘) constants in meta_package_manager.output instead of importing them from click-extra.

6.5.0 (2026-05-25)

Note

6.5.0 is available on 🐍 PyPI and 🐙 GitHub.

• [pwsh-gallery] Add PowerShell Gallery package manager with installed, outdated, search, install, upgrade, and remove support. Drives Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet (PowerShell 7.4+), installs to -Scope CurrentUser, cross-platform on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Closes #1760.

• [topgrade] Add topgrade itself as a supported manager; only upgrade --all is implemented (mpm upgrade --topgrade runs topgrade --yes). Requires topgrade >= 17.0.0. Beware running a manager twice if both are selected.

• [mpm] Add [mpm.managers.<id>] config sections for per-manager attribute overrides, taking precedence over global [mpm] settings and --<flag> values. Closes #945.

• [mpm] Print an upstream contribution invitation on <stderr> with a pre-filled GitHub issue URL when an override targets a detection-related field. Silence via --no-suggest-contribs, MPM_SUGGEST_CONTRIBS=false, or [mpm] suggest_contribs = false.

• [mpm] Add mpm config-template [manager-ids...] subcommand that prints every overridable manager attribute as a ready-to-paste [mpm.managers.<id>] TOML block.

• [mpm] Add mpm dump to export the installed-package inventory as TOML (--toml) or a Brewfile (--brewfile); mpm backup, mpm lock, mpm freeze, and mpm snapshot are aliases.

• [bar-plugin] Swap default and alternate actions on package-upgrade entries: a regular click now opens a visible terminal, and holding Option runs the upgrade silently. Reverses the 3.3.0 behavior.

• [mpm] Remove automated publishing of the Chocolatey package; install instructions in docs/install.md now point only at the local build path.

• [mas] Bump minimum required mas version from 1.8.7 to 7.0.0, switch installed, outdated, and search to parse --json output, update homepage_url to https://github.com/mas-cli/mas, and drop the explicit sudo wrapper around mas uninstall.

• [mpm] Fix several Windows subprocess issues: hidden console windows, winget CTRL_C_EVENT handling, grandchild-process cleanup on timeout, missing-executable detection, and interactive-prompt hangs.

• [yarn] Fix search to parse NDJSON output line by line, collecting only inspect-type entries, since newer Yarn emits multiple JSON objects with a trailing status line.

• [mpm] Fix Nuitka onefile builds by configuring the binary through the standard [tool.nuitka] section, bundling click_extra’s themes.toml, and carrying product metadata and native per-platform icons.

• [xbps] Add Void Linux build-from-source installation instructions to docs/install.md.
