  • Extend stderr output redirection on sh-kind shells to all terminal-attached shell session, not only interactive shell session.
  • Extend shell code produced by the autoinit command to perform the same environment initialization as done in init shell scripts (default value set for module-specific environment variables, parse or source of configuration files).
  • Make init shell scripts rely on autoinit command to define the module command and setup its default environment.
  • Fix error rendering code for Tcl shell by producing a call to the error procedure.
  • Introduce pager support to handle informational messages, using less command with -eFKRX options by default. Environment variable MODULES_PAGER or PAGER may be used to supersede default pager command and options. --paginate and --no-pager switches enable or disable pager from the command line.
  • Install: add --with-pager and --with-pager-opts configure options to define default pager command and its relative command-line options.
  • Introduce quarantine mechanism to protect module execution against side effect coming from the current environment definition. Variables whose name has been put in MODULES_RUN_QUARANTINE will be emptied or set to the value hold by MODULES_RUNENV_<VAR> in the modulecmd.tcl run-time environment. Quarantine variable original value is then restored within modulecmd.tcl execution context once it has started.
  • Install: add --with-quarantine-vars configure option to define at build time the MODULES_RUN_QUARANTINE and MODULES_RUNENV_<VAR> environment variables set in initialization scripts.
  • Add MODULES_SILENT_SHELL_DEBUG environment variable to disable on sh shell and derivatives any xtrace or verbose debugging property for the duration of either the module command or the module shell initialization script. (fix issue#121)
  • Change error code produced by modulecmd.tcl for the Tcl, Perl, Python, Ruby, CMake and R scripting languages to return a 'false' boolean value in case of error rather raising a fatal exception.
  • Adapt module function definition for Tcl, Perl, Python, Ruby, CMake and R scripting languages to always return a value, result of the modulecmd.tcl run. When modulecmd.tcl run does not produce a specific status, a 'true' boolean value is returned. On CMake, resulting value is returned though a module_result global variable.
  • Spool content sent to the stdout channel with puts command during a modulefile interpretation, to effectively transmit this content to stdout after rendering the environment changes made by this modulefile. (fix issue#113)
  • Introduce append-path, prepend-path, remove-path and is-loaded module sub-commands, based on existing modulefile-specific Tcl commands. (fix issue#116)
  • Introduce is-saved, is-used and is-avail modulefile Tcl commands and module sub-commands to test availability of collection, modulepath or modulefile.
  • Raise error when a call to path or paths module sub-commands is attempted during a modulefile interpretation. Both commands now return text rather print text on scripting languages. An empty string is returned in no match case instead of a false boolean value.
  • Introduce module-info loaded modulefile command and its module sub-command counterpart info-loaded. This new command returns name of the modules currently loaded corresponding to the name passed as argument. (fix issue#3)
  • Fix is-loaded command to correctly handle multiple module names passed as argument (fix issue#138)
  • Support no argument on is-loaded, is-saved and is-used commands to return if anything is respectively loaded, saved or used.
  • Interpret module source command set in modulefile in unload mode when the modulefile itself is interpreted in this mode.
  • Consider a modulefile passed with name starting by ./ or ../ a full path name modulefile, like those starting by /. These kind of names are converted to absolute path names, for instance to register them in loaded modulefile list during a load command.
  • Correlate modulefile passed as full path name (starting by either ./, ../ or /) to already loaded modulefile registered with regular module name (file name without its modulepath prefix) to prevent for instance from loading twice same modulefile. Correlate in the same way regular module name to already loaded full path name modulefile.
  • Introduce MODULES_COLLECTION_PIN_VERSION environment variable to record modulefile version number when saving collections even if version corresponds to the default one. (fix issue#89)
  • Fix location of etc/rc global RC file to @prefix@/etc/rc instead of $MODULESHOME/etc/rc not to depend on MODULESHOME environment variable value.
  • Strengthen argument check for append-path, prepend-path and remove-path modulefile Tcl commands and module sub-commands. Raise error if argument list is not correct.
  • Fix support for the --delim=C argument form on append-path, prepend-path and remove-path commands.
  • Fix path reference counter handling in case path element is an empty string. Distinguish an empty path element from a variable set empty to clear it.
  • Pass multiple path elements separated by delimiter character as one string on append-path, prepend-path and remove-path commands.
  • Accept multiple path element arguments on append-path, prepend-path and remove-path commands.
  • Introduce the --duplicates argument option to append-path and prepend-path commands to add a path element already registered in variable.
  • Introduce the --index argument option to remove-path command to delete a path entry by passing its position index in variable.
  • Provide the ability to setup a site-specific configuration sourced at the start of modulecmd.tcl main procedure. This configuration is a Tcl script named siteconfig.tcl which enables to supersede any Tcl definition made in modulecmd.tcl. Location of this file is controlled at configure time with the --etcdir option.
  • Add the ability to handle paths containing reference to environment variable in MODULEPATH. When these kind of paths are used by module command, the variable references are converted to their corresponding value or to an empty string if they are not defined.
  • Enclose value set to environment variable on Tcl within curly braces rather double quotes to protect special characters in it from interpretation.
  • Correctly parse .modulespath initialization file to handle lines without any # character or to handle files with no content to extract.
  • Re-introduce the --enable-versioning configure option, which appends Modules version to installation prefix and deploy a versions modulepath shared between all versioning enabled Modules installation. A modulefile corresponding to Modules version is added to the shared modulepath and enables to switch from one Modules version to another.
  • Fix removal of CMake generated temporary script file by stripping newline character from script file name.
  • Add MODULES_CMD environment variable to expose path to the currently active module command script. This variable is set at initialization time.
  • Introduce modulecmd wrapper script, installed in binary directory, which executes the active module command.
  • Fix modulefile Tcl interpreter reset when handling list variables. (fix issue#145)
  • Introduce 'module-virtual' modulefile Tcl command to associate a virtual module name to a modulefile. This module can be located with its virtual name and the associated modulefile is the script interpreted when loading, unloading, etc.
  • Resolution of relative paths occurring during a modulefile interpretation to target a modulefile or a modulepath now takes the directory of the currently interpreted modulefile as the current working directory to solve the relative paths.
