+v4.5.1 (December 13th 2021)
+---------------------------
+
+update/bugfix release
+
+- various enhancements, including:
+  - also dump environment to reprod directory (#3374)
+  - determine which extensions can be skipped in parallel (if --parallel-extensions-install is enabled) (#3890)
+  - fall back to sequential installation for extensions with unknown dependencies when using --parallel-extensions-install (#3906)
+  - allow oversubscription in sanity check for OpenMPI-based toolchains (#3909)
+- various bug fixes, including:
+  - don't try to ensure absolute path for path part of repositorypath (#3893, #3899)
+  - fix typo in EULA agreement error message (#3894)
+  - only remove lock if it was created in the same EasyBuild session (not if it existed already) (#3889)
+  - introduce EasyBlock.post_init method to correctly define builddir variable when build-in-installdir mode is enabled in easyconfig or easyblock (#3900)
+  - also show download progress bar when using --inject-checksums (#3905)
+  - pick up custom extract_cmd specified for extension (#3907)
+  - make test_run_cmd_async more robust against fluke failures (#3908)
