RELEASE NOTES
-------------
Release Name: v2.0-alpha build 1b88c3949efd from v2.0 branch
Enhancements:
- VisTrails now requires Python 2.7.*, Qt 4.7.*, sip 4.12.2 and PyQt4 4.8.4 to run
- Reworked VisTrails interface. Added Workspace palette where user's vistrails
are kept. Users can open multiple pipelines in different tabs that are
detachable.
- In addition to Pipeline, History, Query and Exploration Views, new views were
added, including Provenance and Mashup views. The Provenance view displays the
execution logs of a vistrail. The Mashup view allows creating simple
applications based on workflows by exposing only the relevant parameters.
See the VisTrails manual for detailed instructions.
- Merged the "Methods" and the "Set Methods" panel into an improved
"Module Information" Palette. Now port visibility, connectedness, and
parameters are shown in a single display. Thus, for module types without
special configuration widgets, there is no need for a separate configuration
window.
