Release of Galaxy 21.05
by Marius van den Beek 10 Jun '21

10 Jun '21

Dear Community, The Galaxy Committers team is pleased to announce the release of Galaxy 21.05. The release announcement for developers and admins can be found at https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/releases/21.05_announce.html and user facing release notes are at https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/releases/21.05_announce_user.html. A few release highlights are: ¡Galaxy, ahora en español! ------------------------------------ Thanks to Wendi Bacon, the Spanish language translation of Galaxy has been finalised and merged, so if you prefer to use Galaxy in Spanish, now you can! This update will be part of an ongoing project from Spanish speakers within the Galaxy community to keep the Galaxy interface localisation up to date, and to produce some Spanish language training materials in the GTN. Bugfixes and Stability ----------------------------- This release of Galaxy features fewer user-facing changes, as a huge amount of developer time went into making this a maintenance release with better testing, better stability, and more bugfixes. But watch out, this is all in preparation for the next release of Galaxy, 21.09, which will have some of the biggest changes in years! New development stack -------------------------------- Galaxy release 21.09 will ship with a new web framework (fastAPI <https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/>), Celery <https://docs.celeryproject.org/en/stable/index.html> task queue and process management using Circus <https://circus.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>. You can preview this new stack now by running *APP_WEBSERVER=dev ./run.sh*. Celery for background tasks -------------------------------------- Galaxy can now run certain tasks in the background. The Celery workers are currently not required, but if activated can perform certain long-running tasks, such as creating history export archives. Celery tasks will bridge the gap between rapid requests that can be handled during a web request and jobs that require extensive and relatively slow setup. More robust selection of job handlers ------------------------------------------------- Job throughput can be increased by starting Galaxy with multiple external job handler processes. Jobs were traditionally assigned to a job handler process by the web handler or workflow handler process that created the job. Since Release 19.01 Galaxy has supported additional mechanisms that use database serialization techniques to let job handlers assign processes to themselves. This mechanism is more robust and doesn't require that all job handler processes be alive and known by the web handler process. Galaxy now determines the best method for assigning jobs based on the database in use, if the assignment method is not set explicitly. Older job assignment methods will be removed in Galaxy release 21.09. For more details see the Job Handler Assignment Methods section <https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/release_21.05/admin/scaling.html#job-hand…> of the Galaxy documentation. Check out the full release notes <https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/releases/21.05_announce.html> for a lot more details, there are many more enhancements, new visualizations and bugfixes as well as instructions for upgrading your Galaxy installation. Thanks for using Galaxy!

User Data for Research Purpose
by Shamse Tasnim Cynthia 09 Jun '21

09 Jun '21

Hello, I am Shamse Tasnim Cynthia, currently pursuing my M.Sc in Computer Science at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, under the supervision of Dr. Banani Roy. My current thesis work involves working on adaptive user interfaces for Software Workflow Management Systems. It has been found that existing SWFMSs do not provide special interaction techniques or visual elements to assist with composing complex workflows and do not consider scientists' preferences based on domain expertise, gender, or other individual preferences. To overcome this, we want to investigate how user preferences will affect modelling in different environments. In this regard, I need user data to analyze user preferences and investigate usage logs to refine the user model. Galaxy, being the most popular SWfMS which is installed on over 168 research servers worldwide, certainly holds a huge amount of user data that can be used in my research. Therefore, it will be very helpful for me if I can get the data to complete my research work and it will be a great opportunity for me to contribute to the Software Workflow developing community. Thank you. Regards Shamse Tasnim Cynthia iSE Lab Department of Computer Science, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Contact: uji657(a)usask.ca tasnim.cynthia99(a)gmail.com

Pulsar connection
by Luc Cornet 07 Jun '21

07 Jun '21

Dear Galaxy admins, We have a problem of connection with pulsar on our HPC cluster. We use ansible-galaxy to install the couple galaxy-pulsar, like in the training admin session. The two playbook run with success but when we launch an analysis (simple bwa test), the job remains pending without any error message. The same two playbooks work very well on a virtual machine (centos8) and the bwa test works too. We simply modify the pulsar servers to use ou HPC centos8 instead of the VM and we don't understand why it doesn't work anymore. From the cluster, we can see that there is no connection from the pulsar user. Can you, please, help us to fix that? Thanks Luc ------------ Luc Cornet, PhD Bio-informatician Mycology and Aerobiology Sciensano
