Dear Firedrakers, I'm happy to announce a new convenience feature in Firedrake. As of current master, the firedrake-status shell command is available. Typing firedrake-status will print out: * Your current configuration (ie the contents of firedrake_configuration.get_config()) * The current branch and commit of all the Firedrake components. * The value of some critical environment variables. This is useful for working out what state your Firedrake install is in - particularly for checking that you're using the right set of branches. Additionally, running: firedrake-status --log will produce a more verbose set of similar configuration information. This will be very helpful for us in helping you debug configuration and installation issues. Regards, David
