history

Project history and usage

Conan 1.x is the legacy major line of Conan, the C and C++ package manager that reached 1.0.0 in January 2018 and stayed widely packaged after the Conan 2 line was introduced.

Project history

The Conan 1.x documentation is now labeled by the project as legacy and no longer recommended for new users, but it remains relevant because many existing recipes, CI pipelines, and package-manager formulas depend on 1.x behavior and its classic Conan home layout.

Adoption history

Conan 1.x carried the project through its first broad adoption phase: decentralized remotes, Python recipes, binary package reuse, and integrations with CMake, Make, MSBuild, Meson, Artifactory, ConanCenter, and earlier Bintray-era repositories.

How it is used

Conan 1.x users typically work with ~/.conan/conan.conf, profiles/default, and conanfile.py or conanfile.txt. The separate Homebrew formula exists to keep older projects and lock-step CI environments on the legacy client while Conan 2 evolves independently.

Why package nerds care

The conan@1 package is a classic package-manager compatibility split: it preserves an older major CLI with different configuration paths and behavior while the unversioned conan package tracks the modern major line.

Timeline

2015: Official Conan repository created.
2018: Conan 1.0.0 released.
2023: Conan 2.0.0 released, making Conan 1.x the legacy major line.

Related projects

Conan 1.x remains tied to ConanCenter, Artifactory, CMake, Meson, MSBuild, and package recipes that have not migrated to Conan 2 semantics.

security posture

No protected-tool coverage found yet

No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for conan@1. Nucleus package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL.

Install behavior

No Homebrew post-install hook is recorded in formula metadata.
Homebrew bottle metadata is available for 8 platform targets.
Installs with 3 runtime dependencies.
Build metadata lists 1 build dependencies.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.

local files

Configuration and credential file locations

These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval.

Configuration files

Config paths the tool may read or write during local use.
