All - As I announced on Friday, there is a bug in the Hub in GalaxyCommunicator 2.1 which causes some systems to manage session IDs incorrectly. We have provided a patch to GalaxyCommunicator 2.1 which addresses this problem by reinstating the previous behavior in the appropriate circumstances. Both CMU and CSLR have installed versions of this fix and report that their systems now run smoothly, and are taking advantage of the greater reliability and better memory management in the 2.1 Hub. While this patch is adequate for current applications, there are a number of significant questions about session management which are currently not addressed by this fix (or in the previous distributions). We will address these questions more thoroughly in the upcoming 3.0 distribution. In addition, we have included the updated log analysis tools which we previously issued as a patch to GalaxyCommunicator 2.0.1. With this 2.1 patch, both distributions now have the most up-to-date log analysis tools. This patch is available in the open-source area at http://fofoca.mitre.org/download/index.html This patch is available as a source-level patch for Unix, and precompiled binaries for Windows NT are also provided. Note that the previous 2.1 download for Windows NT linked to the incorrect file; this problem has also been fixed. Please report all bugs, as usual, to bug...@li....
