Hello,

Our first round of regression testing revealed a couple of problems with the 
first release candidate, i.e.:

easybuild-framework bugs (see 
https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework/pull/583):
        
        * the skipsteps easyconfig parameter is not taken into account by the 
regression testing function, causing the OpenBLAS and numactl builds to fail

easybuild-easyblocks: no issues

easybuild-easyconfigs bugs (see 
https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs/pull/193):

        * FFTW w/ iiqmpi toolchain: OpenMP compiler flag determined by FFTW 
configure is faulty for icc v11.1.075, quad precision shouldn't be enabled 
        * patch for numpy as extension to Python is incomplete, causing goolf 
and goalf toolchain builds of Python to fail
        * patch for Pasha required with goolf toolchain was not being used

If you're actively testing the EasyBuild release candidate, please update to 
the latest v1.3.x and v1.3.0.x branches of easybuild-framework and 
easybuild-easyconfigs, respectively,
to install the 2nd release candidate for EasyBuild v1.3.0, i.e. v1.3.0rc2.


regards,

Kenneth
