Dear EasyBuilders,
I'm happy to announce the release of EasyBuild version 3.1.0 [1].
I'm not going to say this is the best EasyBuild release ever this time.
Or maybe I will. This is the best EasyBuild release ever.
This is a feature release, which includes:
* support for --check-style to check 'code' style in easyconfig
files (more on that later...)
* architecture-specific optimization flags can now be specified on
a per-compiler basis via --optarch
* see
http://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Controlling_compiler_optimization_flags.html
* improved toolchain support on ARM and POWER systems
* a custom easyblock for FFTW that maximizes use of processor
features (by default)
* updates to the CP2K and WPS easyblocks for the latest versions
* toolchain definitions for the foss/2017a and intel/2017a common
toolchains
* see
http://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Common-toolchains.html for
more informatio
* support for 16 new software packages, incl. QIIME (via conda) and
Tensorflow
This brings the total number of supported software packages to 1,152 [2]!
A detailed overview of all changes is available in the release notes [3].
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release in one way or another!
To upgrade to EasyBuild v3.1.0, there are several options, see [4].
Two particularly easy options include:
* eb --install-latest-eb-release # requires EasyBuild v2.9.0
* eb --from-pr 4100 # use easyconfig from PR #4100 [5]
Enjoy!
regards,
