• Various minor bug fixes

New features:

• Check set-up tool for diagnostics of database server setup Read more
• Support for exporting tables as tab-delimited files.
• New way of getting a license based on Order ID and automatic download of a license file. This makes it much easier to set up the database server.

New features:

• Improved memory management in general: lower memory footprint and shorter management overhead pauses.
• Improved memory handling of large tabular data sets.
• When searching data from the Workbench, the results did not list the custom attributes of the data. Read more.
• Copy operations on server locations are now performed completely on the server side, eliminating client processing and network traffic

Bug-fixes:

• Added support for viewing data attributes in web browser for enzyme lists.
• Display of folder structure was not right in special cases involving differentiated permission on folders
• Changed order of custom attributes was not reflected in search drop-down menu
• Searching for data entered as custom attributes required specification of which attribute to search in

Bug-fixes:

• Fixed an error opening external files from a server location

New features

• Creation of customizable metadata – an extra layer of information on top of other data. Examples could be freezer position, amount of sample left, LIMS identifier, project Number ID, etc., etc.
