Dear EasyBuilders,
I'm happy to announce the release of EasyBuild version 3.2.0 [1].
<insert whitty comment about this being the best EasyBuild release ever
here>
Highlights of this release include:
* support for customising easyconfig parameters on a per-extension
basis
* support for marking install modules as new default via
--set-default-module
* additional easyconfig parameters related to documentation
(docpaths, examples, site_contacts, upstream_contacts, usage)
* support for checking whether easyconfig filenames match with
contents via --verify-easyconfig-filenames
* verbose warning messages in case deprecated functionality is
being triggered
* custom easyblocks for Doris, VMD and WRF-Fire
* enhanced easyblock for TBB to support installation of open source
versions
* support for 34 new software packages, incl. ClusterShell, Doris,
Spack, StaMPS, VMD, WRF-Fire
* updated easyconfigs for GCC 7.1.0, LLVM 4.0.0, OpenMPI 2.1.0,
Python 2.7.13 & 3.6.1 (incl. numpy 1.12.1, scipy 0.19.0), R 3.3.3, etc.
This brings the total number of supported software packages to 1,216 [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 v3.2.0, there are several options, see [4].
Two particularly easy options include:
* eb --install-latest-eb-release # requires EasyBuild v2.9.0 or
more recent
* eb --from-pr 4548 # use easyconfig from PR #4548 [5]
Enjoy!
regards,
