September 2019 Galaxy Release (v 19.09)¶

Highlights¶

Workflow Reporting

John Chilton added embedded reports to workflows. These are reports which are automatically available upon workflow completion and can discuss the contents of a workflow, point out interesting aspects of individual outputs, and generally help you summarize the outputs for colleagues in a comprehensible way!

Awesome Visualizations

The Community (that is you!) added not one, not two, but three new awesome visualizations in this release allowing for free style image annotation, visualizing spatial data on OpenLayers maps, and exploring HIV NGS data with hyphy-vision. Details and screenshots below. Thanks go to @anuprulez and @veg
