As part of the regular update cycle on our software stack, the default versions of ECMWF and 3rd-party software packages and libraries will be updated on Atos HPCF, ECS and AG on:
Wednesday 17 June 2025 09:00 UTC
The new versions to become default can be selected for testing before the implementation date by using the ‘jun26’ tag when loading their corresponding modules. For example, to use the next ecmwf-toolbox default version, containing the latest ecCodes and Metview, as well as the next default python3 with latest earthkit, you may run:
module load ecmwf-toolbox/jun26
module load python3/jun26
We will also update the General purpose ecFlow servers and those running Time-Critical Option 2 to be in sync with the default version on the HPCF.
We would like to encourage you to visit the following link for all the details on the exact packages and versions affected, as well as all the complete instructions on how to test them:

Please test your own workload with the new default software stack and report any issues you find through the ECMWF Support Portal.
