You knew this right? PPS: We moved these dates back because a particularly bad interaction between the (spiffy!) MailChimp service we have been using for GCC2022, and Galaxy's (only semi-functional!) MailMan3 server caused no email to be delivered to several mailing lists since the end of April. So, now is your chance. Please do register by Wednesday. -- My last day with Galaxy was December 17, 2021 . After that I will be the Anaconda <https://www.anaconda.com/> open source community manager. If you need to reach Galaxy Outreach after December 17, please send your email to outreach(a)galaxyproject.org.

Release of Galaxy 22.01
by Marius van den Beek 15 Mar '22

15 Mar '22

Dear Community, The Galaxy Committers team is pleased to announce the release of Galaxy 22.01. - Developer and admin release announcement <https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/releases/22.01_announce.html>. - User release announcement <https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/releases/22.01_announce_user.html> . A few release highlights are: New Colour Selector Do you use tools which require colour inputs, like Circos? Previously, we had a very restricted colour input which gave you a very limited palette. Now, you have complete freedom of choice with the modern colour selector. Improved File Export If you've been exporting files from Galaxy lately, you've probably seen the amazing new remote file source export, which allows you to export files to FTP, Dropbox, and other locations. Improved File Uploads Previously, Galaxy servers used a variety of methods to let you upload large files easily, including some servers which required FTP for large files. We have replaced this with a new upload method, which will be enabled on all usegalaxy servers soon. This will make file uploads significantly smoother, and will be more tolerant of network failures and interruptions! You do not need to make any changes. Beta History: Collection Improvements If you've been trying out the beta history (which will be the default history in the next release!), it has been updated to indicate whether collections are homogeneous or heterogeneous. This will help you see more easily if you've accidentally included an incorrect dataset. Galaxy starts as a FastAPI application by default Starting Galaxy via run.sh will use the new gravity process manager <https://github.com/galaxyproject/gravity>. The new configuration uses Gunicorn <https://gunicorn.org/> and FastAPI <https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/> to drive Galaxy's web process, and starts job handler and Celery <https://docs.celeryproject.org/> processes automatically. For more details and instructions, please consult the Migrating to Gunicorn documentation <https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/latest/admin/migrating_to_gunicorn>. User Preferences can be encrypted in Galaxy Vault Galaxy can now be configured to store secrets in an external vault, which is useful for secure handling and centralization of secrets management. In particular, information fields in the "Manage information" section of the user profile, such as dropbox keys, can be configured to be encrypted at rest in a vault (Hashicorp, Custos or database) instead of being stored as plain text in the user preferences table. For detailed information on configuration, refer to the vault section <https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/release_22.01/admin/special_topics/vault.…> of the admin documentation. Release Notes Please see the full release notes <https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/latest/releases/22.01_announce.html> for a lot more details and instructions for upgrading your Galaxy installation. Thanks for using Galaxy!

About Galaxy Galaxy <https://galaxyproject.org/> is a platform for data integration and analysis in the life sciences. It enables researchers to build, run, share, and repeat their own complex computational analyses using only a web browser and without having to first learn system administration and command line interfaces. The Galaxy Project is driven by a vibrant community who publish workflows and analyses, wrap new tools, maintain and enhance the source code, provide support, and write documentation and training materials. Galaxy is open-source and freely available, and is deployed in hundreds of organizations, running on everything from laptops to supercomputers to public and private clouds. Over 150 of these platforms are publicly available and can be used with little or no setup. Thousands of tools have been ported to Galaxy and are deployable from the Galaxy Tool Shed. Galaxy was developed to support life science research, but the platform is domain agnostic and is now used in domains as diverse as natural language processing, computational solid geometry, and social science. Hope to see you in Minneapolis! GCC2022 Organizers <https://galaxyproject.org/events/gcc2022/organizers/>

Cannot update tool on toolshed
by petr＠umbr.cas.cz 24 Jan '22

24 Jan '22

I have repository https://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repository/browse_repository?id=691d87250e82… When I try to update repository by uploading either tarball or single file, nothing happen - I got a blank page which never updates. When I explored the content of this repository it look like the content was updated partially - Toolshed still shows the revision number 0 but content of files visible through toolshed is updated. However, linked mercurial repository at https://petr-novak@toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/petr-novak/repeat_annotatio… does not have this update. So the content visible through tooshed interface different from content of hg repository. This is not a first time it happened, I have also other repositories which cannot be updated. Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong? Petr

Release of Galaxy 21.09
by Marius van den Beek 02 Nov '21

02 Nov '21

Dear Community, The Galaxy Committers team is pleased to announce the release of Galaxy 21.09. - Developer and admin release announcement <https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/latest/releases/21.09_announce.html> - User release announcement <https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/latest/releases/21.09_announce_user.html> . A few release highlights are: Tool Panel Views We now have "Tool Panel Views"! These are different views into the same toolbox and might help make it easier to find the tools you want. In the future, there are plans to create user-customisable toolboxes, but until then go explore the new EDAM Ontology-based toolboxes which organise tools around scientific areas or processes. For example, a category like "Filtering" might have tools like "select lines" or "filter bam by quality", both doing the same process of filtering, despite their different file types and formats. Unfortunately, not all tools are fully annotated yet, and while we also pull terms from bio.tools, this still doesn't get us full coverage and many tools will still appear under a large section "Uncategorized". Hopefully, this will improve as users and tool developers annotate these tools with the appropriate terms that help everyone find them. Collections (Beta History Updates) Did you ever create *a collection with the wrong dbkey or datatype*? Well, in the Beta History you can now change collections' datatypes and dbkeys! This should save a lot of time for everyone working with large datasets (Pull Request 11799 <https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/11799/>). Additionally, did a *collection ever fail* for you? And you wondered why? Now you can find out with the view details button for collections (Pull Request 12261 <https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/12261>)! Importing Data Selecting datasets from the Remote Files view has gotten easier! Now, you can select folders and files and import at once all of the datasets recursively in those folders. Previously, you could only select files within a folder, so this is a huge improvement in the usability of such a key new feature of Galaxy (Pull Request 12310 <https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/12310>). But with great power comes great responsibility, be careful not to import the entirety of NCBI! Reports Report components used to automatically arrange themselves in a smart way, but due to some issues with the floating of components, these will now be full width until we can figure out a good way to provide a similar feature (Pull Request 12085 <https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/12085>). Enhancements for Working with Remote Data and Distributed Computing Resources Many fixes and enhancements were made to improve how Galaxy can import and write to remote data using the configured file source plugins. In addition to the History Export functionality, which can write to remote locations, we have added an Export datasets Tool for exporting individual Datasets and Dataset collections to configured remote locations. The Tool will automatically maintain the name and structure of Datasets and Dataset Collections. We have added the possibility to import entire folders of remote data and made the data selection dialog more intuitive. We also added numerous improvements and fixes to the extended metadata collection strategy and Pulsar <https://github.com/galaxyproject/pulsar>, so that many more tools are able to run in Pulsar <https://github.com/galaxyproject/pulsar> and write data back to storage without passing through Galaxy first. Migration to FastAPI and Extended Documentation of API Routes We have modernized and migrated many more API routes to FastAPI and have extended the documentation and validation of these routes. Migration to SQLAlchemy 1.4 and Declarative Mapping Galaxy is now using SQLAlchemy <https://www.sqlalchemy.org/> version 1.4, which is a prerequisite for asynchronously interacting with the database. We also modernized the way our database models are defined to the more commonly used Declarative Mapping approach, which is more concise and better documented. Modernization of Tool Form Interface The tool form interface has been almost completely migrated from Backbone <https://backbonejs.org/> to Vue <https://vuejs.org/>. This improves the reactivity of parameter validation and enables the migration of tool parameters to Vue, which will also allow us to add many more types of tool parameters. We further migrated the tool form variant for the Workflow Editor, the Workflow run form and the Show Dataset Parameter page to Vue. New User Welcome Page We have added a page that new users will be directed to after creating a new Galaxy account. Release Notes Please see the full release notes <https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/latest/releases/21.09_announce.html> for a lot more details and instructions for upgrading your Galaxy installation. Thanks for using Galaxy!
