Dear Galaxy Fans,

We are pleased to announce the *release of Galaxy 17.05*. Thanks to the #usegalaxy committers and you, our community!

Full release notes:

https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/releases/17.05_announce.html

Highlights: *Tag your data with propagating hashtags*

Large Galaxy histories used to be messy. Hashtags make it easy to track dataset (and collection) relationships. These two movies (both under a minute) explain how to use this with datasets https://vimeo.com/216884518 and with collections https://vimeo.com/216895965.

Learn more about Galaxy histories in our updated tutorial https://galaxyproject.org/tutorials/histories/ *Drag & Drop datasets into tool inputs*Interface now allows dragging datasets from history panel into the content selectors of the tool form. Implemented in Pull Request 3871 https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/3871.*Upload directly to a collection*

You can now bypass the history manipulation and upload your data straight into a collection for convenience.

Learn more about collections and how to use them in a new tutorial https://galaxyproject.org/tutorials/collections/.

We extend special thanks to the 64 New Contributors https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/releases/17.05_announce.html#new-contributors to Galaxy in the past year.

*Thanks for using Galaxy!*
