The following release notes correspond to the dates January 25 to January 31, 2025.
This release also includes back-end updates to workflows, interactive analysis (Notebooks, Galaxy, RStudio), user interface, Data Repository, and Google integrations to improve upcoming features.
Analysis
- You can now select DRS URLs for VCF, CRAM, and BAM files in a data table and open them with IGV. See IGV is easier to use with hosted data in the Roadmap for more details.
Terra Data Repository
- The metrics we collect were updated to collect correct information for future security incidents.
- In the case where an operation fails due to exhausting a GCP BigQuery quota, you'll now see a better error message that describes the problem and how to fix it. This error typically occurs during snapshot creation.
- Long-running TDR operations that failed due to a transient database issue will now complete successfully.
Workspaces
- The workspace file browser now allows you to copy links to folders.
- The Authorization Domains message in the Workspace creation UI was updated to clarify what an Authorization Domain is and when to add one when creating a workspace. Once you add a workspace name and select a billing project, click on the "i" icon (indicated with an orange arrow in the screenshot below) to surface the new message (circled).
- Resolved an issue where the Analyses tab would fail to load in workspaces with Requester Pays enabled. You'll now be correctly prompted to provide a workspace to bill to before you can see the files.
