NEW IN MOBYLE v1.0 # Viewers: viewers offer the possibility to visualize data in the Mobyle portal using web-compatible components, to provide a more readable representation. For instance, multiple alignments can be visualized with Jalview, Protein 3D structures can be visualized with JMol, RNA Secondary structures with VARNA, or phylogenetic trees with Archaeopteryx. # Workflows (beta): Mobyle services chainings can now be automated by providing predefined workflows. # Many portal improvements, including the possibility to customize your welcome page and user workspace management interfaces that facilitate the visualization and cleanup of user jobs and data. # A new plugin-like architecture for the converter modules: you can associate to each data type and format a validator/converter module, that will detect, validate and convert the format of user data when appropriate. # The execution system has been rewritten to be highly flexible: Mobyle now supports new DRMs, including LSF (via the DRMAA API). It is also possible to manage multiple execution configurations, allowing for instance to send jobs to different DRMs based on your needs. # OpenID support: you can now configure Mobyle to let users authenticate themselves using OpenID, in order for them to avoid the management of a new Mobyle-specific password. # Google Analytics support: you can configure Mobyle to track users activity with a Google Analytics account.
