The recent update to Earthly introduces several new features and improvements aimed at enhancing the user experience in building processes. This release includes an experimental interactive mode debugger, accessible via the -i option, which allows users to enter a shell in the container if the build fails. There is also new support for Dockerfiles using the FROM DOCKERFILE command in beta, along with a notable speed increase for Mac users, making builds almost three times faster. The update introduces a built-in argument for generating valid Docker tags and improves error displays during build failures, while reducing repetitive progress outputs. Additionally, there is a fix for an issue with leftover socket files causing build failures. Users should note that the Earthly cache location has moved to a Docker volume, and previous caches can be removed to free up space, with specific instructions provided for upgrading from earlier versions.
