1.14.0

Enhancements :

1.Select User-Created Studies to Mount. Users now have the ability to choose up to 5 studies that will be mounted to the work spaces being created. With this feature, the “Bring Your Own Bucket “ (BYOB) feature is now complete. This powerful feature allows users to create their own studies, assign them to specific projects, choose which studies to mount while creating work spaces, and finally use the mounted studies to read the data from their work spaces.
2.Current Month Cost in Daily EOD Report. Users are always sensitive to cost in the AWS cloud environment. To help them be aware of the costs, we have created an End of Day report to the principal investigator, which will give them the current month direct costs as well as the AWS current month to date billing. This is expected to help users keep better track of their project budgets.
3.Budget Screen Enhancements. Budget screens will also show the current month direct costs in line with the feature above.
4.Edit User-Created Studies. This allows users to reuse the studies they create by assigning new projects to the same study. A classic use-case is when a professor wants to use a dataset for a semester project by his students. Each semester the project and students would change but the dataset created as a study would remain the same.
5.Export Project Budget Details. This feature is being done for a Singapore based university using the Research Gateway product. They wanted the details of the budget consumption to be exported in a form that can be used for analysis using the Excel or other tools.

Bug-fixes :

1.Organization Id to be added to all Audit Trail events to allow filtering by OU.
2.Project sync was not working when more than 200 products exist in Service Catalog.
3.Invalid URL typed by user should show error message.
4.KMS ARN field should be validated in Add/Edit Internally Study screen.
5.Updates to project catalog should be restricted when one update is in progress.
6.Product Cost Trends chart should show dates in ascending order.
7.S3 Explore: Copy to clipboard action getting duplicated.
8.SSH action links should be accessible only to owners
9.Security fixes. This includes some technology refresh in major third-party technologies used like MongoDB, npm packages, node.js etc. The chief among these is an upgrade to MongoDB v4.0.0 that also allows us to upgrade to Node.js v18. Database passwords are now stored using AWS Secret Manager service, providing an additional layer of security, in line with AWS recommended best practices.

1.13.2

Enhancements:
1.Amazon EFS added to standard catalog. You can now provision high performance NFS based file-system (Amazon EFS) for computational needs that needs high-performance shared storage.
2.Project storage creation made optional during project creation.
3.Project catalog automatically picks up new attributes like tags during daily sync when there is an update.
4.New audit trail events for product provisioning success and failure.
5.Image Builder pipeline support for PCluster AMI creation in Enterprise Mode.
6.Optimization of Service Catalog API calls to reduce costs. Catalog sync now only happens when manually initiated from Project Sync action.
7.Users will now receive email notification of provisioning completion (success or failure) on their verified email ids.

5.Security vulnerability for the Passport-Cognito package in the Node Js Server Side Code
6.Security fixes related to OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities.

1.13.0

Enhancements:

1.PCluster enhancements. The cluster head-node by default has NICE DCV installed which allows you to connect to the head-node via a GUI interface. This is especially useful to visualize results of the jobs that you run on the cluster (e.g. using Paraview to view the results of OpenFOAM jobs). The URL to the NICE DCV server on the head-node will be secured using SSL if you choose that option while adding your AWS account as a setting in Research Gateway. The pcluster head node also updates the latest security patches during provisioning so that you do not have to worry about open vulnerabilities. PCluster provisioning now also provides control over Hyperthreading and ElasticFabricAdapter support based on the instance types chosen for the compute nodes.

2.Support to add your own external studies and link them to projects. A new study type called external study has been introduced. This allows you to bring in any existing bucket in your project account as a study even if the bucket was not provisioned via the Research Gateway interface (e.g. you can bring in existing data). External buckets can be linked to projects and are auto-mounted to all workspaces in the project just like ProjectStorage.

3.ProjectStorage can be deleted while archiving a project. You will now be prompted for deletion of the projectstorage when you archive a project. Select the checkbox if you want to delete the projectstorage bucket along with all of its contents.

4.Daily cost trends for each product (workspace) are now available in the Cost tab (new feature). See the daily cost for the workspace from the date of creation to current date in both chart and table form. Select the date range you want to view the information for (the default is seven days).

5.NICE DCV standalone workspace also supports secure connections using SSL (if the project has opted for SSL).

6.Security fixes - Many of the third-party packages used have been updated to address vulnerabilities found during security scans so that users can rest assured that their data and workspaces are secure.
