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. http://modules.readthedocs.io/en/stable/MIGRATING.html http://modules.readthedocs.io/en/stable/NEWS.html The tarball of this new version can be downloaded at: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/modules/modules-4.2.0.tar.gz If you encounter any issue, please let us know by creating a ticket on the project bug tracker at: https://github.com/cea-hpc/modules/issues Best regards, Xavier |
