With these new automated mechanisms, corner cases were found which led to a more substantial bugfix work than initially expected.</p>
<p>After 4 bugfix releases, with a specific focus on error management (v4.2.3) and on warning/error/informational message report (v4.2.4), I consider the work on this v4.2 branch over.</p>
<p>Of course there are still things to improve, but I consider the remaining stuff to work on as new features like the introduction of additional automated mechanisms (<em>Conflict Unload</em>, etc).</p>
<p>If you encounter strange situation with v4.2.4, feel free to report them here or directly on the <a href="https://github.com/cea-hpc/modules/issues?utm_source=noticeable&utm_campaign=cbzeg7wtvaiqj21zbumx.end-of-4-2-strengthening-work-road-to-4-3&utm_content=publication+link&utm_id=cbzeG7wTvAIqj21zbUmx.UPOFxJbXsysxyt1L7iHB.i8fIBBUL8ZHZHDHnCSQS&utm_medium=newspage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bug tracker</a>.</p>
<p>On my side, I am happy to re-start the work on <a href="https://github.com/cea-hpc/modules/milestone/5?utm_source=noticeable&utm_campaign=cbzeg7wtvaiqj21zbumx.end-of-4-2-strengthening-work-road-to-4-3&utm_content=publication+link&utm_id=cbzeG7wTvAIqj21zbUmx.UPOFxJbXsysxyt1L7iHB.i8fIBBUL8ZHZHDHnCSQS&utm_medium=newspage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">v4.3</a>. I will progressively disclose here the new features that will be part of it. Hope to roll out this release at the beginning of summer. Stay tuned.</p>

<p>Each continuous integration job currently runs over 6k non-regression tests. And multiple CI jobs are affected to each OS to cover the different set of build option.</p>
<p>It would also be interesting to test against a native Windows installation of Modules. However specific build and install scripts have to be developed first to install Modules from its sources on a Windows native environment. (as always pull requests are welcomed)</p>
<p>I am also looking for an open service where some BSD OSes is available to also extend the CI to this kind of OSes. I would be glad to hear if something like that exist somewhere.</p>
