Right - we will need proper release notes, won't we. Let's see.. (sorry, this is not formatted as release notes)
The taverna-language release would be an update that fixes some bugs (TAVERNA-874) and adds the tavlang command line, which we should say was contributed by Menaka Madushanka, sponsored by Google Summer of Code 2015. Mentors - would that be appropriate attribution? The release of taverna-osgi, taverna-engine, taverna-common-activities and taverna-commandline would give you a Taverna 3.1.0 command line - which functionally is a follow-up from an earlier alpha-release before we went to Apache - see http://www.taverna.org.uk/developers/work-in-progress/taverna-3/ -- so in principle it is the same functionality, but now released by Apache, with a new license. Package names have changed to org.apache.taverna.* and the OSGi support has been stabilized. Source code has been reorganized - see http://taverna.incubator.apache.org/code/ One new functionality of the taverna-commandline is the ability to save the workflow run provenance as a workflow run bundle - see https://github.com/apache/incubator-taverna-engine/tree/master/taverna-prov#structure-of-exported-provenance (TODO: Move this doc to the website) The new release would add Dmitris improved WSDL support using Apache Woden - Dmitri, is this change also giving WSDL2 support? What are the improvements here? I think it is fair to mention the functionality that is disabled/missing compared to earlier, I think these activities are NO LONGER supported (they were part of 3.0.a2) RShell Soaplab Biomart They are now maintained (??) separately as part of the https://github.com/apache/incubator-taverna-plugin-bioinformatics/ and https://github.com/taverna-extras/ (I just moved RShell activity to taverna-extras and updated it, it seems we had forgotten it on https://github.com/taverna/ !) These plugins *ARE* included in the 3.1.0 release: Beanshell scripts External Tool Interaction service REST service Spreadsheet XML splitters WSDL services XPath (Which Alan is looking at workflows to test them all) On 23 January 2016 at 00:57, Gale Naylor <[email protected]> wrote: > Is there a description of what functionality will be available for Taverna > 3 users as a result of the upcoming release? > > Gale -- Stian Soiland-Reyes Apache Taverna (incubating), Apache Commons RDF (incubating) http://orcid.org/0000-0001-9842-9718
