This release note corresponds to the dates August 17, 2023 to August 25, 2023. This release includes back-end updates to workflows, interactive analysis (Notebooks, Galaxy, RStudio), user interface, Data Repository, and Google and Azure integrations to improve upcoming features.
User Interface
- We fixed a bug that was causing an error when uploading uploading TSVs if the TSV had any null/empty values for a column of datatype "relation".
- We've significantly improved the time-to-availability for data tables inside a newly created workspace.
API Cleanup
Due to the APIs that have been removed, the following functionality has also been removed from the legacy Firecloud UI:
- The billing page is no longer present. Creating, deleting, and adding/removing users from billing projects must now be done in Terra UI.
- The ability to create a new workspace from Firecloud UI has been removed. This impacts creating a new workspace from the workspace list view, cloning a workspace from the workspace dashboard view, and exporting a method from the methods repository to a new workspace. Exporting a method to an existing workspace still works, so users must first create the workspace in Terra UI before exporting a method from the method repository to the workspace.
