Dear EasyBuilders,
I'm happy to announce the release of EasyBuild version 3.2.1 [1].
All software has bugs, and much to our surprise so did the previous best
EasyBuild release...
This is a bugfix/update release. Highlights include:
* fix crash during module generation when ‘%’ character is used in
description
* updates & enhancements to custom easyblocks for GROMACS (adding
PLUMED support) and NAMD (OpenMP support, recent NAMD versions, ...)
* support for 12 new software packages, including Siesta (via new
custom easyblock), NLTK, pyenchant, pbdagcon, ...
* software updates, including HDF5 1.10.1, NAMD 2.12, OpenFOAM 4.1,
pandas 0.20.1, ParaView 5.2.0, R 3.4.0, R-bundle-Bioconductor 3.5,
Tensorflow 1.1.0
This brings the total number of supported software packages to 1,228 [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 v3.2.1, 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 4584 # use easyconfig from PR #4584 [5]
Enjoy!
regards,
