Upgrade vcpkg?

[fdcastel]

The vcpkg package manager just got a new release.

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/whats-new-in-vcpkg-feb-2026-mar-2026-parallel-file-installation-and-more/

I find the new parallel installation feature especially useful (anything that helps speed up CI times!).

It would be possible to upgrade?

vcpkg changelog (2026.02.27, 2026.03.18 releases)

• Security fix for OpenSSL on Windows: The 2026.03.18 release contains a fix for a vulnerability in how vcpkg packaged OpenSSL on Windows (CVE-2026-34054). If you only want to update OpenSSL, you can override the selected version to 3.6.1#3 or later (PR: Microsoft/vcpkg#50518).
• vcpkg now installs files in parallel, improving installation performance by an average of 1.39x in our testing (PR: Microsoft/vcpkg-tool#1896).
• vcpkg now uses libcurl directly for downloads instead of invoking the curl command line. This improves download reliability and performance (PR: Microsoft/vcpkg-tool#1906).
• Dependency resolution has been optimized for improved performance, thanks @dg0yt! (PR: Microsoft/vcpkg-tool#1891).
• Fixed missing executable permissions on downloaded tools for Unix systems, thanks @zynfly! (PR: Microsoft/vcpkg-tool#1911).
• Fixed mismatched VCPKG_ROOT warnings when Visual Studio has its own vcpkg installation (PR: Microsoft/vcpkg-tool#1931).
• Deduplication of additional_file entries in ABI info now improves binary cache hit rates (PR: Microsoft/vcpkg-tool#1914).
• The default minimum Ninja version has been updated to a more reasonable value, thanks @cqundefine! (PR: Microsoft/vcpkg-tool#1897).
• Other minor improvements and bug fixes.
