Howdy CPT Galaxy Users!
We are going to be down for the majority of next Monday, August 17th 2020, for planned system downtime while we perform required maintenance on the machines, but also on upgrading our Galaxy and Apollo instances!
We’re excited to announce that CPT Galaxy will be upgrading from version 19.01 to 20.05, with several new features including a lot of workflow interface improvements and reworks and new interactive/GUI tool support within Galaxy! Many requests that have been made for new tooling that did not work without this interactive support will be revisited in the near future. You can find the full set of release notes for Galaxy here.
Even more exciting, we will be updating our WebApollo instance from 2.0.5 to 2.6.1. This much needed and awaited update will improve our load/access times as well as provide access to the most updated features of GMOD’s WebApollo.
I’m setting the maintenance window for 9AM to 3PM, and will be disabling new job submission roughly twelve hours before (9PM Sunday evening). As usual, any currently running jobs may be interrupted. Services may be accessible during this process but will not be guaranteed to be fully functional until the end of the maintenance process.
