CHANGES IN RELEASE 1.5.1 # New converters for Alignment formats * We provide a set of new converters to convert alignments in fasta, nexus, phylip, stockholm in phylip-relaxed format. phylip-relaxed is the format used by Phyml and morePhyml. These converters needs biopython to perform the conversion so you NEED to install biopython if you want to use them (It's not need to install numpy or reportlab for these functionalities). The converters will automatically be installed with the Mobyle installation/upgrade, but to activate them you must add them in DATA_CONVERTER in the Mobyle configuration, like this: DATA_CONVERTER = { 'Sequence': [ squizz_sequence('/usr/bin/squizz') ], 'Alignment': [ squizz_alignment('/usr/bin/squizz'), fasta_phyml(None), phylipi_phyml(None), phylips_phyml(None), clustal_phyml(None), nexus_phyml(None), stockholm_phyml(None) ] } To take full advantage of these new converters, you also need to update your program definitions (>=5.1.1). # BMPS * Workflow description update fixed (#1636) * Default values sometimes not displayed in form task panels fixed (#1762) # Portal * Tutorial images fixed in debian package-like configurations (#1631) * Example data can now also contain XML (#1640) * Portal freeze upon loading fixed (#1647) * accents supported in job names (#1673) * renamed jobs correctly sorted (#1674) * Font size for workflows is now ok (#1709) * "Tutorials" and "My Workflows" menus can be customized again (#1737) * Portal freeze when closing widget window after bookmarking fixed (#1739) * Forms displaying sometimes when refreshing the portal fixed (#1757) * Parameter values unmodifiable after loading from history fixed (#1758) # Execution server * BMPS job error fixed (#1742) # Documentation * chaining rules description updated (#1675) CHANGES IN RELEASE 1.5.0 # BMPS: BCBB Mobyle Pipeline System is a graphic interface which lets users create their own workflows, which can be launched directly from the BMPS interface but also from the Mobyle portal. # Portal * bookmarks and jobs can now be renamed in left menus (#1162) * tutorials are now customizable. please note that to keep previous tutorials you have to download and deploy the pasteur-tutorials package (#1165). * the values chosen in Choice and MultipleChoice controls are now displayed in the "job inputs" panel using their label instead of their "command-line value" (#1220). * services now support multiple-file inputs. # Execution server * Job submissions control configuration: !! MAX_SIMILAR_JOB_PER_USER replaces SIMULTANEOUS_JOBS !! MAX_SIMILAR_JOB_PER_USER represent the number of jobs than a user can submit at a given time - 0 disable this control, then the user may submit as many "same" jobs he wants (default). - if the email is not provided (depend of the configuration) this control is disabled. * support for module is now included (http://modules.sourceforge.net/) CHANGES IN RELEASE 1.0.7 # Portal *bugfix: Foreign jobs opened in the Mobyle portal freeze the interface (#1182) *bugfix: Program import blocked because of an irrelevant XSL transformation (#1224) *bugfix: Interactive pipes broken in Mobyle (#1227) *bugfix: job submission fails silently in case of error (#1232) # Execution server *bugfix: Help request emails sent only to the first recipient if multiple recipients are specified (#1123) CHANGES IN RELEASE 1.0.6 # Portal * bugfix: "further analysis" button not working from data bookmarks (#1155). * bugfix: simple bookmark click induces chaining if a service is selected in "further analysis" (#1159) * bugfix: recurring problem in AJAX workspace update (#1156) * bugfix: advanced options button is not displayed when all the parameters are "issimple" (#1175) # Admin tools * it is no longer possible to publish services with mandatory parameters and no vdef as advanced parameters (i.e. not "issimple") (#1166). # Execution server * bugfix in DRMAA error handling (r4157-r4158). CHANGES IN RELEASE 1.0.5 # Portal * possibility to display only "simple" parameters by default, and toggle between simple and advanced forms. "Modified" parameter values are also outlined in the portal (#1064). * data edited in "viewers" can now also be reused directly (piped/bookmarked) in the portal (beta/hidden feature since r3610) * viewers custom code now also supports more flexible custom operations (#859) * it is now possible to specify a progress report file: the contents of this file are now displayed and updated even during its execution (#867) * several minor bugs fixed: jumps in the portal upon history refresh (#1070), no error message sent when the user workspace is full (#1065), pipe problems (#932), job outputs interface customization (#929), documentation links (#1078) # Execution server * the configuration of the acceptance or refusal of jobs based on the number of similar jobs is now completely configurable (#1122) * the handling and reporting of drmaa errors has been improved (#1076) * logs do not disappear partially anymore when they are rotated (#1075) # Admin tool fixes * custom messages can be specified when blacklisting a user per IP or email (#1123) * updating does not overwrite your CustomClasses __init__.py!

CHANGES IN RELEASE 1.0.1 # minor features: * portal customization improvement (#585): the header and footer of the portal can now be customized, check the configuration guide for more details. * a download button is now directly available for data bookmarks (#596). # multiple bugfixes in the portal interface: * the jobs tab removal checkboxes now work properly (#573). * the simple parameters can now be modified after a refused submission fails (#574). * job results and workspace data can now be directly piped to workflows (#581). * jobs can now be accessed from another session to facilitate sharing and maintenance (#588, #625). * interface is more informative about workspace refreshes and other actions (#592,#593). * multiple workflow execution problems (#594, #605, #606, #608, #624). * multiple workflow diagram browser compatibility issues fixed (#292, #567). 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.
