[base-announce] BASE 3.0 has been released

[Nicklas N. <ni...@th...>]

Hello all,

We are happy to announce the release of BASE 3.0. It is a new major
release that contains a lost of new functionality, including (but not
limited to):

 * Support for RNAseq experiments
 * A subtype feature for classifying generic items
 * Easier installation of plug-ins and extensions

For a complete list of changes, see:
http://base.thep.lu.se/query?milestone=BASE+3.0&group=type

NOTE!

Upgrading is supported from BASE 2.17 only. Older BASE versions must be
upgraded to BASE 2.17 before trying to upgrade to BASE 3.

BASE 3 is not binary-compatible with BASE 2. This means that existing
plug-ins/extensions may not work until updated versions are available.
We'll start releasing BASE 3-compatible versions for many of the
plug-in/extensions packages found on http://baseplugins.thep.lu.se later
today and tomorrow.

Changes to the batch item importer plug-ins may require that users
update their file templates and file format configurations.

There is more information about this in the upgrade instructions:
