What's New in Conan 2.0 C/C++ Package Manager
summary
Conan 2.0 claims about 80% of the codebase is new and delivers concrete features: a dual package‑ID model that distinguishes embedded vs non‑embedded binaries, a build-order command that computes exactly which binaries must be rebuilt, and deployers that extract artifacts (demo produces a working runtime zip). It adds requirement traits for fine linkage/header control, simpler lockfiles for reproducible graphs at scale, and a public Python API with pluggable commands; production usage cites ~8,000 teams and ~600,000 PyPI downloads/month.
