v4.7.4

• FIX Trait data import: Fixed an issue with the import of trials data where importing data for non-existent traits would fail.

v4.7.3

- CHG: Version bump.

v4.7.2

- CHG: Version bump.

v4.7.1

This update mainly adds some Tomcat security features.

v4.7.0

• NEW Data stories: Data stories are a convenient way to showcase some of the data in your Germinate database and make it easy to follow pre-defined steps highlighting specifics of your data.
• NEW Interface selection persistency: To make it easier to share the view you're currently seeing including selections, we have added more selection parameters to the URL. This also helps with the data stories.
• NEW Hidden page auto-discovery: Germinate can now automatically discover which interface pages should be hidden based on the data you currently have in your database. As an example, if you don't have genotypic data, the maps, markers and genotypic export pages will automatically be hidden until you upload genotypic data.
• NEW Theme-based map tiles: As the new default, we have added theme-based map tiles to Germinate to make any data overlays pop even more.
• NEW Trials data coloring: Trials data scatter plots can now be colored by location, so for multi-site trials, you can highlight each location individually.
• FIX Map positions: There was a bug affecting the display of genotypic marker positions in the map details table. This has been fixed.

v4.6.1

Fixed previous release not using Tomcat 10.1.

v4.6.0

Tomcat 10's support has ended and Tomcat 10.1 is not the current version.

This is mainly an update to make Germinate compatible with Tomcat 10.1.

Small changes included in this update:

• CHG: Less strict checks on trials data import for trait matching.
• ADD: Added the option to upload/delete carousel images.
• FIX: Small bugfixes and improvements.

v4.5.0

• NEW Changelog: From this version on, Germinate will include a changelog for each version highlighting the major new features and changes of each release. This changelog is available on the 'About Germinate' page as well as by clicking on the version number in the Germinate footer.
• NEW Trials time series data: We have added a new section to the trials page focusing on trials data in a temporal context where the development of each germplasm and trait is visualized through the trial.
• NEW Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery support: Germinate now supports storing the imagery captured by UAVs throughout a trial alongside the measured data. The images will be visualized on a map and can be flicked through based on the time of recording.
• NEW Shapefile support: In tandem with the UAV imagery support, we have added support for uploading the trial layout in form of Shapefiles. These will be shown on top of any UAV imagery and colour-coded based on the measured trials data values.
• NEW User feedback: We have added a way for your users to provide feedback to you on Germinate and the data within it. If enabled, the users can select a snapshot of their screen and provide additional information as well as a feedback type like 'bug', 'data error' or 'question'. This feedback can be reviewed and acted upon by the database owners.
• CHG Boxplot charts: Previously, Germinate pre-calculated any boxplot data on the server before displaying the result in the browser. This has now changed so that Germinate will display the individual data points alongside the boxplots which allows selection and item marking in those visualizations.
• NEW Boxplot grouping: In addition to the changed boxplot charts, they can now be grouped by 'dataset', 'treatment' and 'group' to further enrich the visualization.
• NEW Data update widget: Whenever data is uploaded, a new item will now be created on the front page highlighting that new data is available. This will make it much more obvious to users that new data is available or data has changed.
• NEW Dataset changes/edits: After data has been uploaded to Germinate it is assigned to a dataset. While the meta-data of dataset could be edited previously, it wasn't possible to delete datasets completely or re-assign them to different experiments. We have now added this functionality. Additionally, new (empty) datasets can now be created through the Germinate interface which makes importing data from GridScore easier.
• NEW Germinate setup wizard: A new Germinate setup wizard has been added to simplify the initial setup of Germinate.
• CHG Compounds merge with traits: Because of their large overlap in the way they are stored, chemical compounds have been merged in with traits and chemical compound data is now available as trait data.
• FIX BrAPI endpoint bug: Fixed a bug where the BrAPI endpoint for observation variables might fail depending on the trait restrictions.

v4.4.3

Bugfix release to fix an issue with BrAPI observation variable restrictions.

v4.4.2
