i can kick something off quickly to (re)do that… eta probably around 45 mins.

I will knock it out real quick in the next 10 minutes before I head to lunch. It's only reviewing the 2.11 changelog and summarizing
Then this blog will be ready other than any review feedback y'all have oh and @busy-vase-39202 we need a header photo. Any ideas? We could do a picture of 11 like last time

Should versions in prose text have a
v
that is
v2.11.0
?

I don't think so, we never anywhere in pants use the V

Pants 2.11 expands on the lockfile support added in 2.10 by allowing you to use to the new lockfile mechanism from the tool Pex, as an alternative to generating the lockfile with Poetry.
would mention that there’s a blog post pending for this, since people are unlikely to have heard much about it

Seems OK. Is that a general picture we can use for pants, or related to a particular development in 2.11?
would mention that there’s a blog post pending for this
I will link to the blog we already have that I want to update before we publicize more. I'm totally comfortable cross-referencing it, only want to refresh it before publicizing more

It came up when I searched Ghost stock images for "parameter".

Oh, I like the idea of parameterization. Although I don't think that image expresses it super well. I think to express it well, it would look more like having a bunch of clones of the same thing but with slight variations

This dependency inference is not fully comprehensive and you may still need to manually declare some dependencies. Although, we are excited that with this foundation, we can continue to improve inference.
would drop the “although” here

A tiny nit about the Buf stuff is that the example contains
✓ buf succeeded.
while the actual output is.
✓ buf-format succeeded.
and
✓ buf-lint succeeded.
. Besides that it looks good :)

Several performance enhancements: a) faster and more memory-efficient filesystem operations, b) more memory-efficient internal data structures, and c) less overhead with MyPy and Pylint.
(oh how i wish nested lists worked...)

i like it 🙂 I'm not certain everyone will make the connection to parameterization, but it's a nice picture and springy. Even an extremely explicit picture of cloning would probably be lost on most people

I accidentally disccovered through this search that there are a lot of options for pics of stormtroopers. If you want clones...

hehe i was trying to link to a meme but couldnt get it to load
Hell, our audience is engineers which tends to intersect with the Star Wars community. Maybe we do do pictures of clone troopers hehe? I am in full support

Soon, it will support local file requirements.

thanks a lot Eric: looks good. re: performance: unfortunately, it looks like
pantsbuild/pants
ci is too small (and has too many other things changing) to really demonstrate the IO/memory speedups. but i’m thinking that it would be ok to quote the anecdotes from the user that motivated it. let me know when it would be a good time to make an edit.

For asset inference, we should mention you still need to declare your assets in
BUILD

OK ready! And the mac wheel is done. Where do we want to publish this on Reddit? I think we've discussed in the past that I'm skeptical of posting on
r/python
because this is not super python specific and we already have 2 lockfile posts queued. Maybe
r/golang
and
r/programming
?
I am not done with the docs. But now that the blog is done that is my new priority for the day. I don't think that needs to block the release

Python users are still our largest userbase, so i don’t think that we should necessarily avoid
r/python
. looking at relative traction for https://www.reddit.com/user/pantsbuild would suggest that we always do a bit better in language-specific subreddits than on
r/programming
Reddit: • on r/Pythonon r/golang
