## Change semantics of `--dry-run` (`-D`), so it doesn't imply `--robot` (`-r`) {: #dry-run-robot }
124124

125-
*(more info soon)*
125+
For EasyBuild 5.0, we have changed so that `--dry-run` (`-D`) no longer implies `--robot` (`-r`).
126+
Those wanting the previous behaviour should use both options together `--dry-run --robot` (`-Dr`).

## Move verifying of checksums from `source` to `fetch` step, to include it with `--fetch` {: #verifying-checksums }

*(more info soon)*
132+
Checksums are now verified in the `fetch` step, instead of the `source` step.
133+
This means that the checksums are verified at the point EasyBuild checks that the file is present or downloads it if it is not.
134+
135+
Note, also, that the [`source` step has been renamed][source-step].

## Create `lib` to `lib64` symlink (and vice versa) *before* running `postinstallcmds` {: #lib-lib64-symlink }

137-
*(more info soon)*
141+
In EasyBuild 5.0 the `lib` / `lib64` symlink is created before running the `postinstallcmds`.
142+
This allows `postinstallcommands` to be written knowing that `lib` will exist, which simplifies the writing of `postinstallcmds`.
