Found by AISLE in partnership with Red Hat.
📦 Coming in Modules 5.7: new ignore_cache_subcmds option to skip the module cache for chosen sub-commands (e.g. load) — faster with huge cache files, while avail & co keep the cache benefits. modules.readthedocs.io/en/la…
📦 Coming in Modules 5.7: the new --with-pythondir installation option lets you install the env_modules Python module in your Python's site-packages — import env_modules then works without setting PYTHONPATH. modules.readthedocs.io/en/la…

Modulepaths cluttered with files that aren't modulefiles? Modules 5.7 will introduce modulepath-ignore: .gitignore-style patterns to skip them entirely — not walked, not reported, not cached. modules.readthedocs.io/en/la…
Modules v5.7 will add a stable Hook API: it'll let you register site procedures on modulefile/modulerc evaluation with the new add-hook command, instead of relying on internal trace/rename tricks that can break across upgrades. Details: modules.readthedocs.io/en/la…
⚡Coming in Modules 5.7: faster module load in dirs with hundreds/thousands of sibling versions. Resolving an exact name/version no longer checks every sibling - it stops once default/latest are settled.

🚀 New in Environment Modules: Initialize environment variables on first modification.
Define default values for path-like environment variables (such as MANPATH) before they're first updated, ensuring system defaults are preserved.

🔗 New in Modules: "linked_envvars"
Keep related environment variables automatically synchronized. Link CPATH → INCLUDE_PATH (or any variables you choose) and modulefile updates are mirrored automatically.
