<div dir="ltr"><p>Hello ,</p><p>The Arvados team is pleased to announce Arvados 2.2.1. This release
adds new features for auditing and restricting file upload and
download on Arvados, as well as several bug fixes. We recommend that
new and existing installations of <a href="https://arvados.org/release-notes/2.2.0">2.2.0</a> or
earlier upgrade to 2.2.1. See <a href="https://doc.arvados.org/v2.2/admin/upgrading.html">Upgrading
Arvados</a> for
upgrade instructions.</p>
<h2 id="gmail-major-features">Major Features</h2>
<h3 id="gmail-auditing-and-restricting-uploads-and-downloads">Auditing and restricting uploads and downloads</h3>
<p>Arvados now features options to limit the ability of users to upload
or download data from outside the cluster (i.e. networks other than
the cluster’s own private network). This makes it possible to share
restricted data sets with users so that they may run their own data
analysis on the cluster, while preventing them from easily downloading
the data set to their local workstation. Arvados also features
additional logging and auditing of uploads and downloads. For more
information, visit the <a href="https://doc.arvados.org/v2.2/admin/restricting-upload-download.html">Restricting upload or
download</a>
page in the admin section of the Arvados documentation.</p>
<h3 id="gmail-documentation-improvements">Documentation improvements</h3>
<p>There is new documentation about the behavior of arvados-dispatch-cloud:
