.. _experimental_features: Experimental features ===================== First introduced in EasyBuild v2.1.0 (see :ref:`EasyBuild v2.1.0 Release Notes `), experimental features can only be used by enabling the ``--experimental`` configuration option. An experimental feature indicates to users that these features may change significantly in a future release and should be used only for testing, not (yet) for production usage. Currently enabled experimental features include: * support for easyconfig files in YAML syntax (see :ref:`easyconfig_yeb_format`) * support for generating container recipes & images (see :ref:`containers`) * support for using easystack files (see :ref:`easystack`)
