PROOF v1.1 Release

A new version of DaSL’s PROOF (PRoduction On-ramp for Optimization and Feasibility) has been released to address recurring usability issues and introduce a couple of new features:

• Visualization Tabs: To aid users in visualizing their analyses, we’ve added two new tabs to the PROOF user interface:
  • WDL: produces mermaid diagrams for a submitted WDL script.
  • Viewer: displays input json’s in a much more intuitive and collapsible way.
• Login Persistence: Many users have reported issues with accidentally navigating away from PROOF and having to log back in with their Fred Hutch credentials. Through a limited utilization of cookies, authentication in PROOF will now persist much longer, regardless of any navigation away from the page.
• Cromwell Scratch Directory: In anticipation of the retirement of the /fh/scratch/ directories of the Fred Hutch Rhino cluster, the default value for a user’s Cromwell scratch directory will now be set to /hpc/temp/ whenever possible.

For more details on the exact updates included in this latest release, see the v1.1 release notes. For more general information on what PROOF can do for you, read our SciWiki documentation and visit proof.fredhutch.org to give it a spin.
