Dear EasyBuilders,
I'm happy to announce the release of EasyBuild version 3.5.1 [1].
This release is so good that evil pixies try to prevent it from being
released by causing a major outage at Travis CI, but they had to give up
eventually!
This is primarily a bugfix/update release, but also includes a couple of
minor enhancements.
Highlights include:
* support for using Environment Modules v4.0 as modules tool
* inclusion of the foss/2018a and intel/2018a toolchain definitions
* updated easyblocks for BamTools, OpenBabel, Qt, ...
* support for 26 new software packages, incl. deepTools,
NextGenMap, PIMS, QUAST, ...
* updates for already supported software,
incl. BamTools 2.5.0, Boost 1.66.0, Clang 5.0.0, GROMACS 2016.4,
PLUMED 2.4.0, Pillow 5.0.0, QuantumESPRESSO 6.2, Ruby 2.5.0, ...
* various minor bug fixes & enhancements
This brings the total number of supported software packages to 1,372 [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 v3.5.1, there are several options, see [4].
Two particularly easy options include:
* eb --install-latest-eb-release # requires EasyBuild v3.3.0 or
more recent
* eb --from-pr 5661 # use easyconfig from PR #5661 [5]
(EasyBuild v3.3.0 is required for --install-latest-eb-release because
support for SHA256 checksums is required)
Enjoy!
regards,
