April 19, 2017

The latest Dockstore major release includes a large number of new features and fixes. A subset of highlighted new features follows.

Highlighted New Features

Support for private tools
users can register tools where users will need to ask the original author for access
Support for private Docker images hosted in GitLab and Amazon ECR
Allow users to star tools and workflows
Stargazers page to show all users who have starred a particular tool or workflow
Support for file provisioning plugins
Better error messaging passed along from a newer cwltool version
Compatibility with a Write API service for programmatically adding tools

The default Dockstore install no longer includes S3 support. Instead, S3 support is provided by a plugin that can be installed via dockstore plugin download
The command dockstore tool launch used to use --local-entry as a flag to indicate that --entry was pointing at a local file. Now, it replaces --entry. i.e. use dockstore tool launch --local-entry <your local file> rather than dockstore tool launch --local-entry --entry <your local file>
