Release of Galaxy 19.09
by John Chilton 22 Nov '19

22 Nov '19

Dear Community, The Galaxy Committers team is pleased to announce the release of Galaxy 19.09. The release announcement for developers and admins can be found at https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/releases/19.09_announce.html and user facing release notes are at https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/releases/19.09_announce_user.html. A few release highlights are: Interactive Tools ---------------------- A new type of Galaxy tool has been implemented that allows interactive experiences like Galaxy Interactive Environments (via a proxy and Docker containers) but using plugins defined with Galaxy’s XML tool syntax. Workflow Invocation Reports --------------------------- Workflows may now define Markdown templates with Galaxy-specific embedded syntax extensions that can tie together workflow inputs, outputs, jobs, and metadata into rich reports. New Toolshed Client Interface ----------------------------- This project drove numerous enhancements to the Tool Shed API, including vastly improved search functionality. This interface has been completely re-imagined and feels much more interactive. Check out the release notes for a lot more details - there are many more enhancements such as new interface elements, visualizations, datatypes, and more. There are also important notes for Galaxy deployers - such as information about configuration changes in this release and the formal deprecation of Python 2.7 support (this will be the last release with formal support of Python 2). Thanks for using Galaxy!
