Software Release Notes

This page contains the release notes for the current release. See the subpages for historic release notes.

This release (2.37.0) contains major changes to how workspaces operate.

By default, existing workspaces will have a 7 day automatic shutdown, so once started, they will shut down after 7 days to help save costs. If you need to keep your workspaces running longer than 7 days, change the automatic shutdown of your workspace to a longer period. You can still manually stop your workspace when you are not using it.

Currently running workspaces will shut down after 7 days after the upgrade to 2.37.0

Workspaces will restart every 30 days for security reasons, regardless of the automatic shutdown setting.

New Features and Enhancements

• General

  • Removal of Anonymize references feature in base-schedule for metadata as it was no longer used by customers.

  • Users are no longer able to edit connectors of other users through the API to be consistent with the UI.

• Data Management

  • When creating a new folder in the Pipelines inventory during the start of a new analysis, it is now possible to create nested folders (folderA\folderB) instead of just one level of folders.

  • Added the project administrator to the list of people who are allowed to enable/disable data sharing on an externally-managed project.

• Bench

  • To save costs, there is a new automatic bench shutdown feature. Default shutdown happens after 7 days and can be changed per workspace, reboot happens after 30 days for security reasons.

  • Switched from Miniconda to Miniforge in Bench JupyterLab images to avoid failures caused by Anaconda’s new license terms and restricted access to default channels. If your use case is not in line with the with the license terms, stop the workspace and use the new 1.2.4 JupyterLab bench image.

  • Fixed an issue in JupyterLab 1.2.4 (inherited from JupyterLab 1.2.3) where the system used an outdated Java version from /usr/bin instead of the correct conda-installed version, causing pipeline failures.

• Flow

  • The default Nextflow version has changed from v22.04.3 to v24.10.2. Nextflow v22.04.3 is still available to create new pipelines.

  • Due to AWS's F1 to F2 migration, you will temporarily be able to specify the resource requirements (FPGA1/FPGA2/GPU) when creating a pipeline. This allows you to explicitly choose instance types as availability shifts across regions during the migration. If the hardware is not available, the analysis will be cancelled.

  • JSON-Based Input Forms now support nameFilter on Directory-type inputs

• Cohorts
