This file contains a description of the major changes to the easybuild-easyblocks EasyBuild package.
For more detailed information, please see the git log.
The latest version of easybuild-easyblocks provides 108 software-specific easyblocks and 15 generic easyblocks.
v1.4.0 (May 2nd 2013)
---------------------
feature + bugfix release
- added a unit test suite for easyblocks (#175, #177, #178)

Intel VTune and Intel Inspector (#180)

-----------------------
feature + bugfix release
- added support for 2 new software packages that require customized support:
- CUDA (#145), Ferret (#160, #163)
- remove 'license' easyconfig parameter from IntelBase, since it clashes with generic 'license' parameter (#153, #158)
- 'license_file' should be used instead (see https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework/pull/569/files)
- using 'license' instead of 'license_file' will be supported until v2.x for legacy purposes
- various enhancements, including:
- stop hardcoding Python site-packages library dir, obtain it via distutils.sysconfig instead (#141, #156, #159, #161)
- stop hardcoding list of libraries for BLAS libs, ask toolchain modules or use LIBBLAS instead (#150, #155)
- enhanced CP2K easyblock, following Intel guidelines for ictce builds (#138)
- added setup.cfg for setup.py to allow creating RPMs (#140)
- clean up specifying BLAS/LAPACK libs for building numpy, check whether requires patch is being used for IMKL builds (refs #155, #161)
- various bug fixes, including:
- added zip_safe flag to setup.py, to silence multitude of warnings (#135)
- install EasyBuild packages in reversed order to avoid funky setuptools issues (#139)
- fixed a typo in the ScaLAPACK easyblock, and set CCFLAGS and FCFLAGS for v2.x (#149, #162)
- fix sanity check for python-meep (#159)
- exclude Python tests from DOLFIN sanity check, since they hang sometimes (#161)
- add support in ALADIN easyblock for answering question on location of libgrib_api.a (#165)

---------------------------
feature + bugfix release

- support for installing EasyBuild with EasyBuild enables bootstrapping an EasyBuild installation!
- various enhancements, including:
- corrections in WRF/WPS to also enable building with iqacml toolchain
- use mpi_cmd_for instead of hardcoding test commands, using correct Fortran compilers (F90)
- fix NCL easyblock to also support v6.1.x
- use correct Fortran compiler (F90), set correct lib/include paths for dependencies (netCDF-Fortran, GDAL)
- cleanup sweep of license headers and authors list in easyblock module docstrings
- use new 'ext_name' template name in 'exts_filter' in Python and R easyblocks
- various bug fixes, including:
- general code cleanup
- don't set sanityCheckOK in Toolchain easyblock
- get rid of using os.putenv
- NEURON easyblock: don't hardcode number of processes used in test cases
- make sure easybuild.easyblocks.generic namespace is extendable
v1.1.0 (January 27th 2013)
--------------------------
feature + bugfix release
- added 3 new generic easyblocks: CMakePythonPackage, JAR, RPackage
- added support for 23 new software packages that require customized support:
- ACML, ALADIN, ant, Bioconductor (R packages), Chapel, Cufflinks, ESPResSo, FLUENT, Geant4, GHC, Java, NEURON,
NWChem, PyZMQ, QuantumESPRESSO, R, Rmpi, ROOT, Rserve, SCOOP, Trinity, VSC-tools, XML
- various enhancements, including:
- clean up of python.py module:
- merge EB_DefaultPythonPackage and PythonPackage easyblocks into generic easyblock PythonPackage, which derives from ExtensionEasyblock
- move EB_FortranPythonPackage into dedicated generic FortranPythonPackage easyblock module
- split off support for building/installing nose, numpy, scipy into dedicated EB_* easyblock modules,
which allows them to be built as stand-alone modules as well
- clean up testing of Python packages (PythonPackage easyblock)
- make sure there is no site.cfg in home dir when building Python packages, because e.g. scipy will pick it up
- added support for building Intel MKL wrappers with OpenMPI toolchain
- cleaning up of fake module that was loaded for running tests
- move calls to functions that rely on environment up in the chain of steps (mostly for cleanup reasons)
- use better module name for UFC sanity check, minor change to sanity check paths for UFC
- various bug fixes, including:
- only call 'make ptcheck' for ATLAS when multi-threading support is enabled
- use a symbolic link for $HOME/intel instead of a randomly suffixed subdirectory in home + patching of Intel install scripts
- latter does not work anymore with recent versions of Intel tools (2013.x)
