Feature updates and improvements​

Datasets​

• Added support for date-only formats in search queries, allowing you to search using simple dates (e.g., 2025-02-02) instead of full ISO-8601 datetime strings.

Pipelines​

• Added pipeline version numbers and descriptions to preconfigured onboarding pipelines, making it easier to understand what each pipeline does.

Bug fixes​

Data Explorer​

• Fixed an issue where filtering for Azure credentials in Data Explorer only returned one credential type instead of all three available Azure credential types.
• Fixed an issue where the Data Explorer link did not appear in Task View when configuring multiple AWS credentials with similar permissions in the workspace.

Compute environments​

• Fixed an issue where Seqera Compute environments did not apply proper EC2 instance type constraints, ensuring consistent compute environment behavior and preventing instance unavailability issues.

Launchpad​

• Fixed an issue where users could dismiss critical notifications about compute environment substitutions when relaunching pipelines, ensuring important status messages remain visible throughout the workflow.

Critical fixes​

General​

• Race Condition Fixes:
  • Resolve multiple race conditions in entry service operations.
  • Fix directory iteration race by consolidating lock scope.
  • Add lock condition re-evaluation after write lock acquisition to prevent TOCTOU issues.
• Priority test reliability: Improve TestBandwidthExecutor/PriorityExecution statistical reliability by increasing buffer and task counts.
• Directory operations: Ensure rmdir() properly fails on non-empty directories.
• License tests: Update test certificates to expire in 40 years (2065) to prevent test failures.

The MultiQC v1.32 release features one major change:

• Bootstrap upgrade and DARK MODE (#3264)

This has been brewing for a long time, and is a large rewrite of how MultiQC HTML / CSS and JS is written and packaged.

MultiQC now supports simple theming with Bootstrap color modes, and the updated default template ships with both light- and dark-mode by default 😎.

The old template is still available, but has been renamed to original.
