Hello All,
After 6 months of development, it is a my great pleasure to announce the
release of Modules version 4.2.0.
This new version brings a specific focus on the dependency management
between modulefiles with a push forward consistency and automation. It
is backward-compatible with previous version 4 releases and primarily
adds a bunch of new features and fixes some bugs. Major new features
introduced in v4.2.0 since v4.1.4 are:
* Modulefile conflict constraints consistency
* Modulefile prereq constraints consistency
* By-passing module defined constraints
* Automated module handling mode
* Consistency of module load/unload commands in modulefile
* Modulefile alias and symbolic modulefile name consistency
* Environment variable change through modulefile evaluation context
* Express Modules compatibility of modulefile with versioned magic
cookie
* Improved module message report
* New modulefile commands
set-function, unset-function
Details on these new features are provided in the MIGRATING document.
The list of all changes made in this new version are described in the
NEWS document.
