Dear Tripal User's. Typically we have a monthly call-in meeting for everyone to chat about Tripal core development, sharing of ideas, discussion of extension modules, etc. I would like to propose that we pause these meetings until September. Our next meeting would have been this Friday, June 2nd, but those of us working on the Tripal core code are actively trying to get the Tripal v3 release out within the next few weeks, and we would like the time. Also, we typically have a lower attendance in the summer due to travels and I myself will not be able to make the July meeting and most likely will not have the time to prepare for the August meeting. If there are any objections to reconvening in September please let us know and perhaps we can work something out. Also, as we discussed in previous meetings, we will be shutting down the *gmo...@li...* and the *gmo...@so...* mailing lists. Those lists will not go away completely. Archives will be available, but we will stop advertising and using them. We will keep the *gmo...@li...* mailing list (this one) to send announcements only. So please stay subscribed for those! In the past this list has served for folks to ask for help or report problems. From this point on we'd like to ask that if you have questions or problems with Tripal that those discussion be submitted to the Tripal Issue queue at https://github.com/tripal/tripal/issues. This is better way for us to keep track of questions and issues. Thanks much! Stephen |

Dear Tripal Community,
Tripal v2.1 is now available! This release provides major bug fixes as
well as support for Chado v1.3. Here are links to upgrade instructions:
* Upgrade from Tripal v2.0 to v2.1:
http://tripal.info/tutorials/v2.x/upgrade_2.0_to_2.1
* Upgrade from Tripal v1.1 to v2.1:
http://tripal.info/tutorials/v2.x/upgrade_6.11_to_2.1
Please remember to back up your sites before upgrading and it's always
best to try your upgrade on a developmental copy first.
Additionally, we have made new releases of the Tripal Analysis Blast,
GO, InterPro and KEGG modules. Please consider upgrading those as well
if you use them. Instructions for updating those are also provided in
the links above. Some new visualizations have been provided for some
of these modules thanks to contributions by some of you!
The Drupal issue queue will no longer be used to track bugs or feature
requests. If you notice any problems with this release please help us
by reporting them to our GitHub issue queue:
https://github.com/tripal/tripal/issues
We have added a new 'Powered by Tripal' block in this new version.
Please consider adding this block to the footer section of your site.
If you prefer to use something other than the block I've attached
several images to this email for your to consider placing on your sites.
Thank you to those who provided bug fixes and pull requests!

Dear Tripal Community, As bugs are reported we are fixing them and making minor releases. We are already up to beta3 release. From this point on we'll make minor announcements for releases on our Twitter account: https://twitter.com/TripalProject. If interested, please subscribe for up-to-the-minute updates. To reduce emails we won't post beta releases to the mailing list unless they are of important significance. The stable release, which we expect in May will be announced on our mailing lists. Thanks, Stephen |

Dear Tripal Community, We are happy to announce the release of Tripal v3.0-beta1! Here are some quick links: Tripal v3.x User's Guide: http://tripal.info/tutorials/v3.x Tripal v3.x Download Page at Drupal.org: https://www.drupal.org/project/tripal/releases/7.x-3.0-beta1 The Tripal Issue Queue: https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/tripal This release represents a major improvement over the 7.x-3.0-alpha1 release. This represents a stable design for Tripal v3, although perhaps a still buggy implementation. We expect future v3 beta releases to be primarily bug fixes and addition of some outstanding features that need completion. _Remember, this is a beta release version!_ We expect you will find bugs. We recommend testing Tripal v3.0-beta1 on a development server. Future updates to the beta version will provide Drupal based updates. These will ensure that periodic updates can easily transition your Tripal v3.0-beta site to a full stable Tripal v3.0 site once the stable version is finally released (expected in May 2017). Please help us speed our stable release by reporting any bugs you may find with instructions for how to reproduce them to our issue Queue above or ask questions on our mailing lists. This release provides the following: 1. All Tripal content types are now implemented using Entities rather than Nodes. 2. Tripal content types no longer follow the Chado schema structure. Content types are now more intuitive and based on controlled vocabulary terms. For example, previously feature pages would provide content for genes, SNPs, mRNA, genetic markers, etc. Now each of those types can be their own Tripal Content Typel 3. Site admins can create as many content types as they have data in their site. There is no limit to the type and number of content types. 4. A new Storage API layer has been added to separate Tripal from Chado. Chado still serves as the primary storage location for data, but the new layer will allow for integration of data from other data sources. This beta version does not yet support any other data storage other than Chado. The full stable v3.0 release will. 5. Ancillary data about Tripal Content Types are now "attached" as fields to Entities. This allows the site admin to full customize the layout of the site without writing PHP templates. Templates can still be used if desired, but now it's possible to create a much more custom layout than previously. 6. This version now provides the first introduction of RESTful web services to Tripal. Remote programmers can now access data from a Tripal site using any scripting language they desire to retrieve data formatted in JSON-LD using the W3C Hydra vocabulary. Web services still require implementation of access controls, and a much richer querying structure. The full stable v3.0 release will have a mature RESTFul web services. 7. To assist with layout of new content types with lots of attached fields a new tripal_ds module is provided that automatically creates new layouts for each content type using Display Suites. The layout is designed to resemble the Tripal v2 template based layout for consistency. But site admins are free to change these layouts using the Tripal Content Type graphical interface. 8. Tripal v3 provides a migration tool to help ease the burden of converting your Tripal v2 nodes over to Tripal v3. It especially allows for use of your custom Tripal v2 templates even with Tripal v3 Entities. This will allow for faster upgrade to v3 while still affording a gradual transition from v2 templates to v3 layouts. Some current limitations: 1. The User's Guide is still not complete, although it will walk you through installation and setup of a very simple example genomics website. 2. The Developer's Handbook and API documentation are not yet available. 3. The RESTful web services currently lack access controls and a more complicated query interface is needed. These updates will be made in a later beta release and the stable version. 4. Integration of non Chado data stores is not yet ready. This should be ready in a future beta release and in the final stable version. 5. Bugs! Please let us know what you find. |

Dear Tripal User Community, We are happy to announce the third beta release of Tripal v2.1. This is the last 2.1 beta release. The next will be the full v2.1 release. This version should be the most stable yet for v2.1 and provides all of the functionality that v2.1 will offer including: 1) A Chado v1.2 to v1.3 upgrade. 2) A new phylogeny module that includes a newick file importer for phylogenetic trees and an NCBI taxonomy importer for taxonomic trees. Much thanks to Andrew Farmer and the LegumeInfo group for their assistance and collaboration in development and inclusion of this new module! 3) Improved support for multiple Chado installations 4) Many bug fixes. For a more details listing please see the release page: https://www.drupal.org/project/tripal/releases/7.x-2.1-beta3 For upgrade instructions please see these links at the Tripal User's Guide: Upgrading from a Tripal v1.1 site: http://tripal.info/tutorials/v2.x/upgrade_6.11_to_2.1 Upgrading from a Tripal v2.0 site: http://tripal.info/tutorials/v2.x/upgrade_2.0_to_2.1 Stephen |

Thanks to Eric Rasche at Texas A&M University, Tripal is now available inside of a Docker container! For those who want to quickly explore a lightweight instance, Docker images offer a nice alternative to full VMs. You can find the Docker GitHub project here: https://github.com/erasche/docker-tripal The project is on Docker Hub here: https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/erasche/tripal/ If you have any problem or suggestion please open an issue on the project's GitHub issue tracker: https://github.com/erasche/docker-tripal/issues |

Hi All, If you did not notice, a highly critical public service announcement was release on Drupal.org yesterday. Apparently there was a vulnerability that should be addressed if you did not patch Drupal on October 15th. Please see the announcement: https://www.drupal.org/PSA-2014-003 Stephen |

Hi All, We have added a few new announcements on the Tripal website http://tripal.info/. But I wanted to send out a notification as well. First, there has been a total of $3.5M in funding granted in the last few months to Tripal developers. One project funded by the National Research Support Project of the USDA will develop tools for data collection, and propose standards for data classification and storage for crop species data. http://cahnrs.wsu.edu/news-release/2014/10/16/nrsp10/ A second award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) of the United States from the Data Information Building Blocks (DIBBs) program for construction of web services for data exchange and intra-site querying, integration with the Galaxy project, and implementation of Software Defined Networking (SDN) technology to improve data transfer speeds between sites. http://nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1443040 Third, we will have a new Tripal Workshop at the Plant and Animal Genome conference this year in San Diego CA. It will be held Sunday Jan 11th from 4-6:15pm. We will soon have online the list of scheduled speakers. But talks will range from introductory, experiences converting legacy databases, and the work of existing genome databases and their contributions to the greater Tripal and research communities. http://www.intlpag.org/2015/program/workshop-list-2015 If you have any Tripal related news you would like items posted such as funded awards, training opportunities or outreach activities please let me know.
