I guess you could debate whether this is an enhancement or not, rather than just a changed default, but fine as is.


### `--trace` enabled by default {: #eb5_trace }

The [`--trace` option][trace] is enabled by default (see [easybuild-framework PR #4250](https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-framework/pull/4250)).
This makes the output produced by the `eb` command more informative, by providing more information about what's going on in the background.

To disable trace output, either:

* Use the `--disable-trace` command line option;
* Set the `$EASYBUILD_DISABLE_TRACE` environment variable;
* Disable trace mode in a [configuration file][configuration_file]:

``` ini
[override]
trace=0
```

To trace the progress of EasyBuild while it is installing software, you
can use `eb --trace`.

!!! note
Tracing support was added as an experimental feature in EasyBuild v3.4.0, and thus required
using `--experimental`. Since EasyBuild v3.4.1, `--trace` is
considered stable and no longer requires the use of
`--experimental`.

## Trace output {: #trace_output }

When `eb --trace` is used, EasyBuild will print additional output on top
