Hello everybody,
The Taverna team are pleased to announce that Taverna 2.3.0 Workbench
and the Command Line Tool are now available for download from
http://www.taverna.org.uk/download/workbench/2-3/
Taverna 2.3.0 includes new service types, integration with service
catalogues and experimental export of provenance information. Here are
a few of the new features in the Workbench:
* REST service allowing you to perform GET, POST, PUT and DELETE
operations configured using a template
* XPath service where you can create an XPath expression from an
example XML document
* Tool service that allows you to run commands or scripts as part
of your workflow
* Searching and browsing of service catalogues, such as the
BioCatalogue, and addition of those services to your Workbench
or workflow
* Experimental export of provenance in the Open Provenance Model
and Janus formats
* Help via the online user manual
(http://www.mygrid.org.uk/dev/wiki/display/taverna/User+Manual)
Taverna 2.3.0 also includes the Command Line Tool that allows you to
execute workflows outside of the Workbench. The Command Line Tool is
available either as a stand-alone download from
http://www.taverna.org.uk/download/command-line-tool/2-3/ or bundled
with the Workbench.
