Release 1.2.5

This is a minor release building on 1.2 fixing various minor issues, including:

• Trimming of username
• Note that job re-run is at beta stage
• Reduce amount of data used
• Updated ssl libaries
• Limits datasets to 5 MB, and displays messages if larger and only loads 5 MB

This version comes with binaries for Windows. For the Android version it is recommended to search Google Play app store (it is free of course).

The releases have all required DLLs so that no install of Qt is needed to run this. The software is licensed under the GPL.

To run the Windows version unzip GalaxyPortal_win1.0.zip and run "GalaxyPortal.bat".
For Android put your phone in debug mode, connect to your PC using USB and transfer the apk from GalaxyPortal_android1.0.zip across to you phone using the Android Debug Bridge (adb). Alternatively search the Google Play Store and download it without having to enable debug mode (note, the Android release on the Google marketplace will happen sometime after the Github release).

See readme for additional information.

Release 1.2

Release 1.2 changes the look to match more closely with the Galaxy interface and adds basic functionality to re-run jobs, see shared histories and download the complete dataset (see the list below for a full list of changes).

This release would not have been possible without the great feedback, contributions to the Galaxy API to make it possible to view shared histories and the development of these new features by Ivar Grytten.
