🎉 Big news! We’re excited to welcome Adrien Cotte within the maintainer team of Modules. Adrien works at AS+ as HPC Project Manager. Thank you for stepping up and helping move the project forward—welcome aboard! 🚀

New config option for next feature release (5.7): "path_entry_reorder". When enabled, "prepend-path", "append-path", and "module use" will reorder existing entries instead of leaving them untouched. 👉See modules.readthedocs.io/en/latest/MI...

Modules is at #SC25 in St. Louis! Come meet Xavier, our project leader: 📅 Tuesday, Nov. 18 📍 CEA booth #2724 ⏰ 10:00 – 11:45 AM 📅 Wednesday, Nov. 19 📍 @hpsf.bsky.social booth #6134 ⏰ 2:00 – 4:00 PM Stop by to hear the latest project updates, see demos of new features, and pick up some stickers!

🚀 Modules 5.6 is out! Packed with new features: ✨ spider sub-command 🔗 require_via for module hierarchy 👀 Always show hidden modules ⚠️ Warnings on eval issues 🆘 Simplified help message 🔄 Newline support in env vars 📦 Declare provided elements 🔎 Full details: modules.readthedocs.io/en/latest/MI...

✨ New in upcoming *Modules v5.6*: the `require_via` config option! It lets you define dependency links between *via* modules and modulefiles in the paths they enable — bringing full support for the *module hierarchy* mechanism. 🔗 Learn more: modules.readthedocs.io/en/latest/MI...

Coming in Modules v5.6: the new `spider` sub-command! 🕷️ It lists all available modules—both in enabled modulepaths and those discovered recursively. Learn more: modules.readthedocs.io/en/latest/MI...

🚀 Coming in Modules v5.6: new provide command lets modules declare additional elements they offer (as aliases)! Details & examples 👉 modules.readthedocs.io/en/latest/MI...

New feature introduced in upcoming Modules v5.6: ability to always see hidden modules, by adding the "hidden" item to the output configuration options. See modules.readthedocs.io/en/latest/MI...

Do you know the "envml" command? Like "env", it runs a program in a modified environment, but here environment is modified by Modules. "envml" is available since Modules 4.0 and it is freshly documented in its own man page 📖: modules.readthedocs.io/en/latest/en...

Next Modules version (5.6) will add the ability to define environment variable whose value contains newline character modules.readthedocs.io/en/latest/MI...

🔧 Just updated: Environment Modules docs now include a deep dive into alternative implementations, with a specific focus on Lmod. Useful to learn the differences between the two implementations. 📚 modules.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ot...

Next version (5.6) will introduce the "module-help" modulefile command to provide a simpler way to define modulefile help message. See modules.readthedocs.io/en/latest/MI...

Next version (5.6) will come with new modulefile command: "module-warn". This command defines a warning message to print when loading specified modulefiles. See modules.readthedocs.io/en/latest/MI...

We’re pleased to announce the 2025 HPSF Conference schedule is now live! #HPSFCon will feature technical sessions, panels, discussions, workshops, & meetings for a number of HPSF projects, featuring talks from users & contributors. Here’s a sneak peek at what you can expect: hpsf.io/blog/2025/an...

There will be a "Modules" talk at the 10th EasyBuild User Meeting (EUM), on March 25th: easybuild.io/eum/ Many thanks to the @easybuild.bsky.social team for the invitation. You can remotely attend EUM10 by registering at the following location: event.ugent.be/registration...

The recorded video of our talk at FOSDEM25 is available: fosdem.org/2025/schedul... Many thanks again to @marcjoos.bsky.social who did an excellent job presenting the talk and answering questions.

We are launching our chat room on Matrix matrix.to#/#modules:ma.... Like the project's mailing-list, this chat is made for the community to ask question, discuss ideas, needs, recipes, etc.

Marc will be our speaker on Sunday at #FOSDEM. Many thanks to him for taking over.

I'm very excited to announce that I'll be speaking at #FOSDEM this year to talk about @envmodules.bsky.social in the #HPC devroom, on behalf of Xavier Delaruelle, #EnvModules lead developer. If you want to know more about the tool and its current & future evolution, join us on Sunday at 11:05!

#FOSDEM is almost there (next week-end). We are happy to announce that Modules will be presented this year on Sunday (February 2) in the "HPC, Big Data & Data Science" devroom. fosdem.org/2025/schedul...

Modules' repository is moving! It will now be available at github.com/envmodules/m... (don't panic old links still work). The project is aiming at a neutral home, here named "envmodules", that also reflects the name handle used on social media platforms.

Can you hear the “Oh, interesting…” and “Why haven’t I heard about this before?!” being spoken out loud ? That’s the volunteers reviewing submissions for #FOSDEM (fosdem.org), about two months ahead of the event. If you’ve never attended FOSDEM, you should consider it, you won’t regret it 🍻

Modules 5.5 was released earlier this month! New version means (so many) new features: Logging activity, PowerShell support, Specific modulepath for requirements, Conflict unload and Improved automated module handling mechanisms. See modules.readthedocs.io/en/latest/MI...

Environment Modules is now on Bluesky 🎉. Modules (with its `module` command) helps HPC folks managing their shell environment since more than 3 decades. This account will share news of the project.

A great show of friendly open source competition and collaboration: the lead developers of Environment Modules and Lmod (Xavier of CEA and Robert of @taccutexas.bsky.social) at #SC24. They often exchange ideas and push each other to improve their tools!
