[arvados] Arvados v1.4 announcement and release notes

Thu Jun 6 06:05:00 UTC 2019

The Arvados team is pleased to announce our latest release Arvados v1.4
which includes several new features, the most exciting of which is the
brand new implementation of the Arvados web UI component, Workbench. It is
currently still in beta, but we’d love for you to test it as part of your
daily work and provide us with feedback.

Other highlights include:

   -

   New Workbench - React-based single page web app with completely new UI
   design
   -

   New Java SDK with much more complete API coverage
   -

   API Server & traditional Workbench upgraded to Rails 5
   -

   Support for Prometheus metrics reporting in a number of components
   -

   Packaging changes for Arvados utilities to improve isolation of
   dependencies
   -

   Support for Ubuntu 18.04
   -

   More components ported to Python 3.x and Python 3.7 support added
   -

   More than 50 bug fixes

There are a couple of important release notes
<https://doc.arvados.org/admin/upgrading.html> that you should review
before upgrading. Installing the python-arvados-python-client distribution
package no longer installs the Arvados Python module (ie arvados) system-wide.
If you are depending on its availability, you will need to install
arvados-python-client
from PyPI. Using virtualenv or similar dependency manager is a good way to
isolate dependency requirements of different applications.

As we’ve announced previously v1.4 is the last release to support the Jobs
API (aka Crunch 1). If you haven’t already migrated to Crunch 2 and the
Container API, you should make plans to as soon as possible. Please contact
us if you have any questions or require assistance.

You can find a full list of the features and bug fixes on the release page
<https://dev.arvados.org/rb/release/15> and included below.
