# v0.14.0 (2020-02-23)
`v0.14.0`
is a major feature release, with 3 highlighted features:
1.
**Distributed builds.**
Multiple Spack instances will now coordinate
properly with each other through locks. This works on a single node
(where you've called
`spack`
several times) or across multiple nodes
with a shared filesystem. For example, with SLURM, you could build
`trilinos`
and its dependencies on 2 24-core nodes, with 3 Spack
instances per node and 8 build jobs per instance, with
`srun -N 2 -n 6
spack install -j 8 trilinos`
. This requires a filesystem with locking
enabled, but not MPI or any other library for parallelism.
2.
**Build pipelines.**
You can also build in parallel through Gitlab
CI. Simply create a Spack environment and push it to Gitlab to build
on Gitlab runners. Pipeline support is now integreated into a single
`spack ci`
command, so setting it up is easier than ever. See the
[
Pipelines section
](
https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/v0.14.0/pipelines.html
)
in the docs.
3.
**Container builds.**
The new
`spack containerize`
command allows you
to create a Docker or Singularity recipe from any Spack environment.
There are options to customize the build if you need them. See the
[
Container Images section
](
https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/containers.html
)
in the docs.
In addition, there are several other new commands, many bugfixes and
improvements, and
`spack load`
no longer requires modules, so you can use
it the same way on your laptop or on your supercomputer.
Spack grew by over 300 packages since our last release in November 2019,
and the project grew to over 500 contributors. Thanks to all of you for
making yet another great release possible. Detailed notes below.
