+# v0.22.0 (2024-05-12)
+
+`v0.22.0` is a major feature release.
+
+## Features in this release
+
+1. **Compiler dependencies**
+
+    We are in the process of making compilers proper dependencies in Spack, and a number
+    of changes in `v0.22` support that effort. You may notice nodes in your dependency
+    graphs for compiler runtime libraries like `gcc-runtime` or `libgfortran`, and you
+    may notice that Spack graphs now include `libc`. We've also begun moving compiler
+    configuration from `compilers.yaml` to `packages.yaml` to make it consistent with
+    other externals. We are trying to do this with the least disruption possible, so
+    your existing `compilers.yaml` files should still work. We expect to be done with
+    this transition by the `v0.23` release in November.
+
+    * #41104: Packages compiled with `%gcc` on Linux, macOS and FreeBSD now depend on a
+      new package `gcc-runtime`, which contains a copy of the shared compiler runtime
+      libraries. This enables gcc runtime libraries to be installed and relocated when
+      using a build cache. When building minimal Spack-generated container images it is
+      no longer necessary to install libgfortran, libgomp etc. using the system package
+      manager.
+
+    * #42062: Packages compiled with `%oneapi` now depend on a new package
+      `intel-oneapi-runtime`. This is similar to `gcc-runtime`, and the runtimes can
+      provide virtuals and compilers can inject dependencies on virtuals into compiled
+      packages. This allows us to model library soname compatibility and allows
+      compilers like `%oneapi` to provide virtuals like `sycl` (which can also be
+      provided by standalone libraries). Note that until we have an agreement in place
+      with intel, Intel packages are marked `redistribute(source=False, binary=False)`
+      and must be downloaded outside of Spack.
+
+    * #43272: changes to the optimization criteria of the solver improve the hit-rate of
+      buildcaches by a fair amount. The solver more relaxed compatibility rules and will
+      not try to strictly match compilers or targets of reused specs. Users can still
+      enforce the previous strict behavior with `require:` sections in `packages.yaml`.
+      Note that to enforce correct linking, Spack will *not* reuse old `%gcc` and
+      `%oneapi` specs that do not have the runtime libraries as a dependency.
+
+    * #43539: Spack will reuse specs built with compilers that are *not* explicitly
+      configured in `compilers.yaml`. Because we can now keep runtime libraries in build
+      cache, we do not require you to also have a local configured compiler to *use* the
+      runtime libraries. This improves reuse in buildcaches and avoids conflicts with OS
+      updates that happen underneath Spack.
+
+    * #43190: binary compatibility on `linux` is now based on the `libc` version,
+      instead of on the `os` tag. Spack builds now detect the host `libc` (`glibc` or
+      `musl`) and add it as an implicit external node in the dependency graph. Binaries
+      with a `libc` with the same name and a version less than or equal to that of the
+      detected `libc` can be reused. This is only on `linux`, not `macos` or `Windows`.
+
+    * #43464: each package that can provide a compiler is now detectable using `spack
+      external find`. External packages defining compiler paths are effectively used as
+      compilers, and `spack external find -t compiler` can be used as a substitute for
+      `spack compiler find`. More details on this transition are in
+      [the docs](https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html#manual-compiler-configuration)
+
+2. **Improved `spack find` UI for Environments**
+
+   If you're working in an enviroment, you likely care about:
+
+   * What are the roots
+   * Which ones are installed / not installed
+   * What's been added that still needs to be concretized
+
+    We've tweaked `spack find` in environments to show this information much more
+    clearly. Installation status is shown next to each root, so you can see what is
+    installed. Roots are also shown in bold in the list of installed packages. There is
+    also a new option for `spack find -r` / `--only-roots` that will only show env
+    roots, if you don't want to look at all the installed specs.
+
+    More details in #42334.
+
+3. **Improved command-line string quoting**
+
+   We are making some breaking changes to how Spack parses specs on the CLI in order to
+   respect shell quoting instead of trying to fight it. If you (sadly) had to write
+   something like this on the command line:
+
+    ```
+    spack install zlib cflags=\"-O2 -g\"
+    ```
+
+    That will now result in an error. The correct format (which you probably expected in
+    the first place) is:
+
+    ```
+    spack install zlib cflags="-O2 -g"
+    ```
+
+    Quoted can also now include special characters, enabling commands like:
+
+    ```
+    spack install zlib ldflags='-Wl,-rpath=$ORIGIN/_libs'
+    ```
+
+    To reduce ambiguity in parsing, do *not* put spaces around `=` and `==` in
+    flags or variants, as this will now result in an error:
+
+    ```
+    spack install zlib cflags = "-O2 -g"
+    ```
+
+    More details and discussion in #30634.
+
+4. **Revert default `spack install` behavior to `--reuse`**
+
+   We changed the default concretizer behavior from `--reuse` to `--reuse-deps` in
+   #30990 (in `v0.20`), which meant that *every* `spack install` invocation would
+   attempt to build a new version of the requested package / any environment roots.
+   While this is a common ask for *upgrading* and for *developer* workflows, we don't
+   think it should be the default for a package manager.
+
+   We are going to try to stick to this policy:
+   1. Prioritize reuse and build as little as possible by default.
+   2. Only upgrade or install duplicates if they are explicitly asked for, or if there
+      is a known security issue that necessitates an upgrade.
+
+   With the install command you now have three options:
+
+   * `--reuse` (default): reuse as many existing installations as possible.
+   * `--reuse-deps` / `--fresh-roots`: upgrade (freshen) roots but reuse dependencies if possible.
+   * `--fresh`: install fresh versions of requested packages (roots) and their dependencies.
+
+   We've also introduced `--fresh-roots` as an alias for `--reuse-deps` to make it more clear
+   that it may give you fresh versions. More details in #41302 and #43988.
+
+5. **More control over reused specs**
+
+   You can now control which packages to reuse and how. There is a new
+   `concretizer:reuse` config option, which accepts the following properties:
+
+   - `roots`: `true` to reuse roots, `false` to reuse just dependencies
+   - `exclude`: list of constraints used to select which specs *not* to reuse
+   - `include`: list of constraints used to select which specs *to* reuse
+   - `from`: list of sources for reused specs (some combination of `local`,
+     `buildcache`, or `external`)
+
+   For example, to reuse only specs compiled with GCC, you could write:
+
+   ```yaml
+   concretizer:
+      reuse:
+        roots: true
+        include:
+        - "%gcc"
+   ```
+
+   Or, if `openmpi` must be used from externals, and it must be the only external used:
+
+   ```yaml
+   concretizer:
+     reuse:
+       roots: true
+       from:
+       - type: local
+         exclude: ["openmpi"]
+       - type: buildcache
+         exclude: ["openmpi"]
+       - type: external
+         include: ["openmpi"]
+   ```
+
+6. **Add new `redistribute()` directive**
+
+   Some packages can't be redistributed in source or binary form. We need an explicit
+   way to say that in a package.
+
+   Now there is a `redistribute()` directive so that package authors can write:
+
+   ```python
+   class MyPackage(Package):
+       redistribute(source=False, binary=False)
+   ```
+
+   Like other directives, this works with `when=`:
+
+   ```python
+   class MyPackage(Package):
+       # 12.0 and higher are proprietary
+       redistribute(source=False, binary=False, when="@12.0:")
+
+       # can't redistribute when we depend on some proprietary dependency
+       redistribute(source=False, binary=False, when="^proprietary-dependency")
+   ```
+
+    More in #20185.
+
+7. **New `conflict:` and `prefer:` syntax for package preferences**
+
+   Previously, you could express conflicts and preferences in `packages.yaml` through
+   some contortions with `require:`:
+
+    ```yaml
+    packages:
+      zlib-ng:
+        require:
+        - one_of: ["%clang", "@:"]   # conflict on %clang
+        - any_of: ["+shared", "@:"]  # strong preference for +shared
+    ```
+
+    You can now use `require:` and `prefer:` for a much more readable configuration:
+
+    ```yaml
+    packages:
+      zlib-ng:
+        conflict:
+        - "%clang"
+        prefer:
+        - "+shared"
+    ```
+
+    See [the documentation](https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/packages_yaml.html#conflicts-and-strong-preferences)
+    and #41832 for more details.
+
+8. **`include_concrete` in environments**
+
+   You may want to build on the *concrete* contents of another environment without
+   changing that environment.  You can now include the concrete specs from another
+   environment's `spack.lock` with `include_concrete`:
+
+   ```yaml
+      spack:
+        specs: []
+        concretizer:
+            unify: true
+        include_concrete:
+        - /path/to/environment1
+        - /path/to/environment2
+   ```
+
+   Now, when *this* environment is concretized, it will bring in the already concrete
+   specs from `environment1` and `environment2`, and build on top of them without
+   changing them. This is useful if you have phased deployments, where old deployments
+   should not be modified but you want to use as many of them as possible. More details
+   in #33768.
+
+9. **`python-venv` isolation**
+
+   Spack has unique requirements for Python because it:
+    1. installs every package in its own independent directory, and
+    2. allows users to register *external* python installations.
+
+   External installations may contain their own installed packages that can interfere
+   with Spack installations, and some distributions (Debian and Ubuntu) even change the
+   `sysconfig` in ways that alter the installation layout of installed Python packages
+   (e.g., with the addition of a `/local` prefix on Debian or Ubuntu). To isolate Spack
+   from these and other issues, we now insert a small `python-venv` package in between
+   `python` and packages that need to install Python code. This isolates Spack's build
+   environment, isolates Spack from any issues with an external python, and resolves a
+   large number of issues we've had with Python installations.
+
+   See #40773 for further details.

+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Python packages and virtual environments
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Spack can install a large number of Python packages. Their names are
+typically prefixed with ``py-``. Installing and using them is no
+different from any other package:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ spack install py-numpy
+   $ spack load py-numpy
+   $ python3
+   >>> import numpy
+
+The ``spack load`` command sets the ``PATH`` variable so that the right Python
+executable is used, and makes sure that ``numpy`` and its dependencies can be
+located in the ``PYTHONPATH``.
+
+Spack is different from other Python package managers in that it installs
+every package into its *own* prefix. This is in contrast to ``pip``, which
+installs all packages into the same prefix, be it in a virtual environment
+or not.
+
+For many users, **virtual environments** are more convenient than repeated
+``spack load`` commands, particularly when working with multiple Python
+packages. Fortunately Spack supports environments itself, which together
+with a view are no different from Python virtual environments.
+
+The recommended way of working with Python extensions such as ``py-numpy``
+is through :ref:`Environments <environments>`. The following example creates
+a Spack environment with ``numpy`` in the current working directory. It also
+puts a filesystem view in ``./view``, which is a more traditional combined
+prefix for all packages in the environment.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ spack env create --with-view view --dir .
+   $ spack -e . add py-numpy
+   $ spack -e . concretize
+   $ spack -e . install
+
+Now you can activate the environment and start using the packages:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ spack env activate .
+   $ python3
+   >>> import numpy
+
+The environment view is also a virtual environment, which is useful if you are
+sharing the environment with others who are unfamiliar with Spack. They can
+either use the Python executable directly:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ ./view/bin/python3
+   >>> import numpy
+
+or use the activation script:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ source ./view/bin/activate
+   $ python3
+   >>> import numpy
+
+In general, there should not be much difference between ``spack env activate``
+and using the virtual environment. The main advantage of ``spack env activate``
+is that it knows about more packages than just Python packages, and it may set
+additional runtime variables that are not covered by the virtual environment
+activation script.
+
+See :ref:`environments` for a more in-depth description of Spack
+environments and customizations to views.

-Spack's installation model assumes that each package will live in its

-In Spack, installation prefixes are immutable, so this type of installation

-Views are a convenient way to get a more traditional filesystem structure.

-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Using Extensions in Environments
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The recommended way of working with extensions such as ``py-numpy``
-above is through :ref:`Environments <environments>`. For example,
-the following creates an environment in the current working directory
-with a filesystem view in the ``./view`` directory:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ spack env create --with-view view --dir .
-   $ spack -e . add py-numpy
-   $ spack -e . concretize
-   $ spack -e . install
-
-We recommend environments for two reasons. Firstly, environments
-can be activated (requires :ref:`shell-support`):
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ spack env activate .
-
-which sets all the right environment variables such as ``PATH`` and
-``PYTHONPATH``. This ensures that
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ python
-   >>> import numpy
-
-works. Secondly, even without shell support, the view ensures
-that Python can locate its extensions:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ ./view/bin/python
-   >>> import numpy
-
-See :ref:`environments` for a more in-depth description of Spack
-environments and customizations to views.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Using ``spack load``
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-A more traditional way of using Spack and extensions is ``spack load``
-(requires :ref:`shell-support`). This will add the extension to ``PYTHONPATH``
-in your current shell, and Python itself will be available in the ``PATH``:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ spack load py-numpy
-   $ python
-   >>> import numpy
-
-The loaded packages can be checked using ``spack find --loaded``
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Loading Extensions via Modules
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Apart from ``spack env activate`` and ``spack load``, you can load numpy
-through your environment modules (using ``environment-modules`` or
-``lmod``). This will also add the extension to the ``PYTHONPATH`` in
-your current shell.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ module load <name of numpy module>
-
-If you do not know the name of the specific numpy module you wish to
-load, you can use the ``spack module tcl|lmod loads`` command to get
-the name of the module from the Spack spec.

 Reuse already installed packages
 --------------------------------
 
-The ``reuse`` attribute controls whether Spack will prefer to use installed packages (``true``), or
-whether it will do a "fresh" installation and prefer the latest settings from
-``package.py`` files and ``packages.yaml`` (``false``).
-You can use:
+The ``reuse`` attribute controls how aggressively Spack reuses binary packages during concretization. The
+attribute can either be a single value, or an object for more complex configurations.
+
+In the former case ("single value") it allows Spack to:
+
+1. Reuse installed packages and buildcaches for all the specs to be concretized, when ``true``
+2. Reuse installed packages and buildcaches only for the dependencies of the root specs, when ``dependencies``
+3. Disregard reusing installed packages and buildcaches, when ``false``
+
+In case a finer control over which specs are reused is needed, then the value of this attribute can be
+an object, with the following keys:
+
+1. ``roots``: if ``true`` root specs are reused, if ``false`` only dependencies of root specs are reused
+2. ``from``: list of sources from which reused specs are taken
+
+Each source in ``from`` is itself an object:
+
+.. list-table:: Attributes for a source or reusable specs

+   * - exclude (optional, list of specs)
+     - If present, reusable specs must not match any of the constraint in the list.
+
+For instance, the following configuration:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+   concretizer:
+     reuse:
+       roots: true
+       from:
+       - type: local
+         include:
+         - "%gcc"
+         - "%clang"
+
+tells the concretizer to reuse all specs compiled with either ``gcc`` or ``clang``, that are installed
+in the local store. Any spec from remote buildcaches is disregarded.
+
+To reduce the boilerplate in configuration files, default values for the ``include`` and
+``exclude`` options can be pushed up one level:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+   concretizer:
+     reuse:
+       roots: true

+       - type: local
+         include:
+         - "foo %oneapi"
+
+In the example above we reuse all specs compiled with ``gcc`` from the local store
+and remote buildcaches, and we also reuse ``foo %oneapi``. Note that the last source of
+specs override the default ``include`` attribute.
+
+For one-off concretizations, the are command line arguments for each of the simple "single value"

-This is very similar to the naming dilemma above, with a slight twist.
 As mentioned in the :ref:`Packaging Guide <packaging_extensions>`,
 ``extends`` and ``depends_on`` are very similar, but ``extends`` ensures
 that the extension and extendee share the same prefix in views.
 This allows the user to import a Python module without
 having to add that module to ``PYTHONPATH``.
 
-When deciding between ``extends`` and ``depends_on``, the best rule of
-thumb is to check the installation prefix. If Python libraries are
-installed to ``<prefix>/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages``, then you
-should use ``extends``. If Python libraries are installed elsewhere
-or the only files that get installed reside in ``<prefix>/bin``, then
-don't use ``extends``.
+Additionally, ``extends("python")`` adds a dependency on the package
+``python-venv``. This improves isolation from the system, whether
+it's during the build or at runtime: user and system site packages
+cannot accidentally be used by any package that ``extends("python")``.
+
+As a rule of thumb: if a package does not install any Python modules
+of its own, and merely puts a Python script in the ``bin`` directory,
+then there is no need for ``extends``. If the package installs modules
+in the ``site-packages`` directory, it requires ``extends``.

+    def recythonize(self):
+        python("setup.py", "clean")  # use the `python` global
+
+As mentioned in the previous section, ``extends("python")`` adds an
+automatic dependency on ``python-venv``, which is a virtual environment
+that guarantees build isolation. The ``python`` global always refers to
+the correct Python interpreter, whether the package uses ``extends("python")``
+or ``depends_on("python")``.

+Included Concrete Environments
+------------------------------
+
+Spack environments can create an environment based off of information in already
+established environments. You can think of it as a combination of existing
+environments. It will gather information from the existing environment's
+``spack.lock`` and use that during the creation of this included concrete
+environment. When an included concrete environment is created it will generate
+a ``spack.lock`` file for the newly created environment.
+
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Creating included environments
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+To create a combined concrete environment, you must have at least one existing
+concrete environment. You will use the command ``spack env create`` with the
+argument ``--include-concrete`` followed by the name or path of the environment
+you'd like to include. Here is an example of how to create a combined environment
+from the command line.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ spack env create myenv
+   $ spack -e myenv add python
+   $ spack -e myenv concretize
+   $ spack env create --include-concrete myenv included_env
+
+
+You can also include an environment directly in the ``spack.yaml`` file. It
+involves adding the ``include_concrete`` heading in the yaml followed by the
+absolute path to the independent environments.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+

+         unify: true
+     include_concrete:

+     - /absolute/path/to/environment2
+
+

+get the concrete specs from the included environments.
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Updating an included environment
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+If changes were made to the base environment and you want that reflected in the
