October Upgrade
Genesys portal received an updated look-and-feel that makes it more intuitive to understand and use. We’ve added URL Shortener service so you can easily share your filtered results. We’ve introduced filtering on automatically-detected accession “sequence” number. We’ve made the PDCI charts public and also display climatic information from collecting site for geo-referenced accessions.
Cluster instances on Amazon EC2 were upgraded from Ubuntu 14.10 LTS to Ubuntu 15.04. We upgraded Java to OpenJDK 8 as Genesys relies on some of the new Java 8 features. Programming wise, we’ve upgraded Spring Framework from 3.2.10 release to 4.2.1. Updated caching headers ensure that you’re browsing Genesys securely, while allowing for some content to be efficiently cached. The list of changes to the source code is available though the Genesys git repository at Bitbucket.
