[Lmod-announce] Lmod 7.7 is now released.

[Announcing n. v. of L. <lmo...@li...>]

I am happy to announce the release of Lmod 7.7.  The major change is that
now Lmod supports reference counting for PATH-like variables.  This feature
was first released in 7.6.14.   The details are discussed here:

    http://lmod.readthedocs.io/en/latest/077_ref_counting.html

There are some other features.  Here is the update of new features and bug
fixes:

Features:

1. Lmod now uses reference counting for PATH-like variables

2. Support for MODULEPATH_INIT. If found use
<install_dir>/init/.modulespath to specify initial MODULEPATH.

3. Tracing now reports changes to MODULEPATH

4. Support for ml keyword <prop_name> added

Bug Fixes:

1. Lmod now uses the spider cache when restoring when LMOD_CACHED_LOAD=yes

2. Lmod now supports a module with a single leading underscore. It reports
an error if there are two or more.


Enjoy,
R.
