Release v1.7.4

Release Date: 29-January-2018

This release mostly includes bugfixes and improvements for various Table classes:

  • Fixed bug where you couldn't store a table converted to a pandas.Dataframe if it had a INTEGER column with some missing values.
  • EntityViewSchema can now automatically add all annotations within your defined scopes as columns. Just set the view's addAnnotationColumns=True before calling syn.store(). This attribute defaults to True for all newly created EntityViewSchemas. Setting addAnnotationColumns=True on existing tables will only add annotation columns that are not already a part of your schema.
  • You can now use synapseutils.notifyMe as a decorator to notify you by email when your function has completed. You will also be notified of any Errors if they are thrown while your function runs.

We also added some new features:

  • syn.findEntityId() function that allows you to find an Entity by its name and parentId, set parentId to None to search for Projects by name.
  • The bulk upload functionality of synapseutils.syncToSynapse is avaliable from the command line using: synapse sync.

Below are the full list of issues addressed by this release:
