As a C++ developer using Conan, I need to understand how to manage different build configurations (like Release, Debug, Static, and Shared libraries) for my packages. Additionally, I've heard about a new Conan 2-only remote; please tell me its URL and explain why it's significant for Conan 2 users.
Navigate to 'https://conan.io/docs/'. Click on the 'Tutorial' link. Click on the 'Building for multiple configurations: Release, Debug, Static and...' link under 'Consuming packages'. Summarize how Conan handles building for multiple configurations based on the content of this page, focusing on the role of settings and profiles. Navigate to 'https://conan.io/'. Click on the 'ConanCenter' link. Locate the announcement regarding the new Conan 2-only remote. Extract the exact URL for the new Conan 2-only remote. Explain the significance of this new remote for Conan 2 users as described on the ConanCenter page. Synthesize all gathered information to answer the task.
The agent successfully navigates to the 'Building for multiple configurations' documentation page. The agent accurately explains that Conan manages multiple configurations (Release, Debug, Static/Shared) by using 'settings' (e.g., build_type, os, arch, compiler) defined in profiles, where each unique combination of settings results in a different binary package. The agent successfully navigates to the ConanCenter page. The agent states the exact URL for the new Conan 2-only remote as 'https://center2.conan.io'. The agent explains that the significance of the new remote is that 'Conan Center has stopped receiving updates for Conan 1.x packages' and the new remote is 'Conan 2-only', implying it's the source for current updates for Conan 2 users.
