* The `[email protected]:v1` uenv has been removed and replaced by `[email protected]:v2`
* The [DLA-Future] integration required special care by the user; without it, the performance is sub-optimal
* The DLA-Future integration has been moved to a separate `cp2k-dlaf` view
* The two views available in `[email protected]:v1` are still available, without DLA-Future: `cp2k` and `develop`
* Two new views with DLA-Future are available in `[email protected]:v2`: `cp2k-dlaf` and `develop-dlaf`
* The default BLAS/LAPACK library on [Eiger][ref-cluster-eiger] is now [OpenBLAS] (changed from Intel oneAPI MKL, oneMKL)
* Performance on some workloads is better and on others is comparable
* Brings uniformity across platforms

### DLA-Future

The `cp2k/2025.1` uenv provides CP2K with [DLA-Future] support enabled.
The `cp2k/2025.1:v2` uenv provides CP2K with [DLA-Future] support enabled, in the `cp2k-dlaf` view.
The DLA-Future library is initialized even if you don't [explicitly ask to use it](https://manual.cp2k.org/trunk/technologies/eigensolvers/dlaf.html).
This can lead to some surprising warnings and failures described below.
