.A new module stream: `swig:4.0`
RHEL 8.4 introduces the Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator (SWIG) version 4.0, available as a new module stream, `swig:4.0`.
Notable changes over the previously released `SWIG 3.0` include:
* The only supported `Python` versions are: 2.7 and 3.2 to 3.8.
* The `Python` module has been improved: the generated code has been simplified and most optimizations are now enabled by default.
* Support for `Ruby 2.7` has been added.
* `PHP 7` is now the only supported PHP version; support for `PHP 5` has been removed.
* Performance has been significantly improved when running `SWIG` on large interface files.
* Support for a command-line options file (also referred to as a response file) has been added.
* Support for JavaScript `Node.js` versions 2 to 10 has been added.
* Support for `Octave` versions 4.4 to 5.1 has been added.
To install the `swig:4.0` module stream, use:
[literal]
----
# yum module install swig:4.0
