Testing for 2.18.0! 🧪 👖 Hey everyone! Pants 2.18.0 is very close to ready, and comes with a bunch of features and bug fixes: • The improvements to AWS Lambda and Google Cloud Function support in 2.17 have continued in 2.18, including simpler configuration and support for AWS Lambda Layers. • Many more options can now be controlled when building Docker images. • Significant feature work and bug fixes to "deploy" backends like Helm and Terraform. • And much more We're hoping that 2.18.0rc5 is the final release candidate... but some more testing would be great. If you have a chance over the next few days, please try switching to 2.18.0rc5 and run it (both locally and through whatever CI you have!). Flag any issues (no matter how small) either here in slack or as issues on GitHub. If you've switched to the `pants` launcher already, adopting this version for testing should be as simple as adjusting your

pants.toml

:

[GLOBAL]
pants_version = "2.18.0rc5"

(As a reminder, pre-release testing is great any time; in fact, earlier is better. Follow #C18RRR4JK to see when new dev and RC releases are published.)
