We are pleased to announce Pants 2.32.0, the latest release of Pantsbuild, the scalable and ergonomic build system. To update, set pants_version = "2.32.0" in your pants.toml. If you're not using Pants yet, get started now.

Highlights in 2.32 include:

• ⚡ Experimental support for uv lockfiles, resulting in much faster Python dependency resolution.
• 🔄 Python lockfile generation can use the sync option for faster, incremental updates.
• 🐳 Docker and Helm now have added options to prevent packaging on pants publish.
• 🐍 Pants itself now runs using Python 3.14 (previously 3.11), meaning plugins can use newer language features. User code using other Python versions is unaffected.
• 🧹 Support for the deprecated Get()/MultiGet() in the plugin API has been removed.
• 📦 Support for pip 26.0.1 via pex.
• 🐞 And a whole bunch of updates, bugfixes, and general improvements!

Quick heads up for some of these changes:

• uv resolver support comes with a couple of known issues, which may or may not be relevant to you:
  • uv does not yet work with remote caching
  • The uv resolve does not yet support building lambdas
• If you're using the pants launcher binary, you'll need to update to at least version 0.13.2 following the upgrade instructions.
• Plugins still using the older "call-by-type" style of API will need to migrate to the call-by-name API.
  • For those on 2.31.x, this is made a little bit easier using the migrate-call-by-name goal.

Check out the full release notes for the accumulation of all those little improvements.
