- Update to version 0.20.0 with the following features:
  * Exact versions: Spack did not previously have a way to distinguish a
    version if it was a prefix of some other version. For example, @3.2 would
    match 3.2, 3.2.1, 3.2.2, etc. You can now match exactly 3.2 with @=3.2.
    This is useful, for example, if you need to patch only the 3.2 version of a
    package
  * More stable concretization: Now, spack concretize will only concretize the
    new portions of the environment and will not change existing parts of an
    environment unless you specify --force.  This has always been true for
    unify:false, but not for unify:true and unify:when_possible environments.
  * The concretizer has a new --reuse-deps argument that only reuses dependencies.
    That is, it will always treat the roots of your environment as it would with
    --fresh. This allows you to upgrade just the roots of your environment while
    keeping everything else stable
  * Specs in buildcaches can be referenced by hash: Previously, you could run
    spack buildcache list and see the hashes in buildcaches, but referring to
    them by hash would fail.  You can now run commands like spack spec and
    spack install and refer to buildcache hashes directly, e.g. spack install
    /abc123
  * New package and buildcache index websites
    Our public websites for searching packages have been completely revamped
    and updated.  You can check them out here:
      Package Index: https://packages.spack.io
      Buildcache Index: https://cache.spack.io
    Both are searchable and more interactive than before. Currently major
    releases are shown; UI for browsing develop snapshots is coming soon.
  * Default CMake and Meson build types are now Release: Spack has historically
    defaulted to building with optimization and debugging, but packages like
    llvm can be enormous with debug turned on. Our default build type for all
    Spack packages is now Release. This has a number of benefits:

- updated to version 0.19.0 with follwoinig changes:
  * Spack's traditional package preferences are soft, but we've added hard
    requriements to packages.yaml and spack.yaml
  * spack install in an environment will no longer add to the specs: list; you'll
    need to either use spack add <spec> or spack install --add <spec>.
  * spack uninstall will not remove from your environment's specs:
    list; you'll need to use spack remove or spack uninstall --remove.
  * concretizer:unify:true is now the default mode for new environments
  * include environment configuration from URLs
  * An increasing number of packages in the ecosystem need the ability to
    support multiple build systems 
  * package ++variant:
    enabled variant that will be propagated to dependencies
  * git. prefix to specify git tags or branches as versions. All of these are
    valid git versions in
  * spack ci generate --tests will generate a .gitlab-ci.yml file that not only
    does builds but also runs tests for built packages
  * spack test run --explicit will only run tests for packages that are
    explicitly installed, instead of all packages.
  * You can add a new shared_linking option to config.yaml to make Spack embed absolute paths
    to needed shared libraries in ELF executables and shared libraries on Linux
  * spack spec prints dependencies more legibly. Dependencies in the output now
    appear at the earliest level of indentation possible (#33406)
  * You can override package.py attributes like url, directly in packages.yaml
  * There are a number of new architecture-related format strings you can use
    in Spack configuration files to specify paths
- Improvement from v0.18.0
  * spack install --reuse was introduced in v0.17.0, and --reuse is now the
    default concretization mode. Spack will try hard to resolve dependencies
    using installed packages or binaries

- updated to version 0.17.0
  (Upstream feature/bug references (<ID>) are relative to
   https://github.com/spack/spack/issues/<ID>).
  * New concretizer is now default
    The new concretizer introduced as an experimental feature in v0.16.0
    is now the default (#25502). The new concretizer is based on the
    clingo logic programming system,
    and it enables us to do much higher quality and faster dependency solving
    The old concretizer is still available via the concretizer: original
    setting, but it is deprecated and will be removed in v0.18.0.
  * Binary Bootstrapping
    To make it easier to use the new concretizer and binary packages,
    Spack now bootstraps clingo and GnuPG from public binaries. If it
    is not able to bootstrap them from binaries, it installs them from
    source code. With these changes, you should still be able to clone Spack
    and start using it almost immediately.
  * Reuse existing packages (experimental)
    The most wanted feature from our
    2020 user survey and
    the most wanted Spack feature of all time (#25310). spack install,
    spack spec, and spack concretize now have a --reuse option, which
    causes Spack to minimize the number of rebuilds it does. The --reuse
    option will try to find existing installations and binary packages locally
    and in registered mirrors, and will prefer to use them over building new
    versions. This will allow users to build from source far less than in
    prior versions of Spack. This feature will continue to be improved, with
    configuration options and better CLI expected in v0.17.1. It will become
    the default concretization mode in v0.18.0.
  * Better error messages
    We have improved the error messages generated by the new concretizer by
