|  | # v0.14.0 (2020-02-23) | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | `v0.14.0` is a major feature release, with 3 highlighted features: | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | 1. **Distributed builds.** Multiple Spack instances will now coordinate | ||||||
|  |    properly with each other through locks. This works on a single node | ||||||
|  |    (where you've called `spack` several times) or across multiple nodes | ||||||
|  |    with a shared filesystem. For example, with SLURM, you could build | ||||||
|  |    `trilinos` and its dependencies on 2 24-core nodes, with 3 Spack | ||||||
|  |    instances per node and 8 build jobs per instance, with `srun -N 2 -n 6 | ||||||
|  |    spack install -j 8 trilinos`. This requires a filesystem with locking | ||||||
|  |    enabled, but not MPI or any other library for parallelism. | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | 2.  **Build pipelines.** You can also build in parallel through Gitlab | ||||||
|  |    CI. Simply create a Spack environment and push it to Gitlab to build | ||||||
|  |    on Gitlab runners. Pipeline support is now integreated into a single | ||||||
|  |    `spack ci` command, so setting it up is easier than ever.  See the | ||||||
|  |    [Pipelines section](https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/v0.14.0/pipelines.html) | ||||||
|  |    in the docs. | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | 3. **Container builds.** The new `spack containerize` command allows you | ||||||
|  |    to create a Docker or Singularity recipe from any Spack environment. | ||||||
|  |    There are options to customize the build if you need them. See the | ||||||
|  |    [Container Images section](https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/containers.html) | ||||||
|  |    in the docs. | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | In addition, there are several other new commands, many bugfixes and | ||||||
|  | improvements, and `spack load` no longer requires modules, so you can use | ||||||
|  | it the same way on your laptop or on your supercomputer. | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | Spack grew by over 300 packages since our last release in November 2019, | ||||||
|  | and the project grew to over 500 contributors.  Thanks to all of you for | ||||||
|  | making yet another great release possible. Detailed notes below. | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||

|  | * Archspec is now a separate library (see https://github.com/archspec/archspec) | ||||||
|  | * Many improvements to the `spack buildcache` command (#14237, #14346, | ||||||
