+
+The March 2024 releases included updates to conda and conda-build! 🎉 Both of these have been released to both `main` and `conda-forge`.
+
+## Changes in Conda [24.3.0](https://github.com/conda/conda/releases/tag/24.3.0)

+
+### ✨ What's New? ✨
+
+- Show the first few characters of undecodeable response if `repodata.json` raises `JSONDecodeError`.
+- Update `conda.gateways.subprocess.subprocess_call` to use `text=True` to avoid manual encoding/decoding.
+- Add a new plugin hook giving plugin authors the ability to define new settings.
+- Optimize module imports to speed up `conda activate`.
+- Move `conda env export` to `conda export` and alias the old command to the new command.
+- Report progress while running `conda install --revision <idx>`.
+- Add `conda.testing.tmp_channel` pytest fixture to create a temporary local channel for testing.

+
+### 🔧 What Got Fixed? 🔧
