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:

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 and with collections.

Learn more about Galaxy histories in our updated tutorial

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.
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.

We extend special thanks to the 64 New Contributors to Galaxy in the past year.

Thanks for using Galaxy!
