Take control of your vcpkg dependencies with versioning support--Victor Romero

A new feature.

Take control of your vcpkg dependencies with versioning support

by Victor Romero

From the article:

We have an exciting new feature to announce in vcpkg: the long-awaited and highly requested package versioning! This feature makes it possible to install specific versions of dependencies and control installed versions over time. In order to use this feature, a vcpkg.json manifest file must be present in your repo to declare dependencies. Versioning is not currently available for libraries installed via the command line (i.e. vcpkg install library_name commands). The versioning feature is completely optional – you can choose not to specify library versions, and vcpkg will pick the most appropriate set of compatible versions for your dependencies from its baseline catalog. For now, we are considering this feature experimental. Please give us your feedback and let us know how we can improve...

Looking for C++ Employers for March 16th

From the article:

Meeting C++ organizes the 2nd online C++ Job fair on March 16th!

The first online job fair in October 2020 was a big success, and now with the world coming back from the pandemic, I'd like to continue organizing these events online. This time the event will take place in wonder.me, a platform where users can freely roam around on a virtual map and engage in conversations by joining a circle. Join the Meeting C++ online User Group for further updates on the event.

The virtual job fair where you can attend and talk to different employers or job searchers is planned for March 16th. For Tuesday afternoon from 15-18:00 (CET) you'll be able to join the event and talk to employers and other job searchers. Each employer that registers will have its own named area. Employers need to sign up until March 10th.
