## CBRAIN/NeuroHub Release Notes

#### Version 6.2.0 Released 2022-01-28

(After eleven months, the `git diff` output is over 12,000 lines long!)

Major features:

* A new Boutiques integrator was implemented. This new framework
is modular and customizable, and much easier to maintain.
from the developer's perspective. Some technical documentation
is in this [presentation](https://prioux.github.io/new-boutiques-presentation/#/title).
* The new Bouiques integrator comes with four new modules that sysadmins
can configure withing each Boutiques descriptor:
* BoutiquesFileNameMatcher
* BoutiquesFileTypeVerifier
* BoutiquesOutputFileTypeSetter
* BoutiquesPostProcessingCleaner
* Users can link their account to a Globus identity and
authenticate with Globus from that point on.
* A new DataProvider types has been added: SingBindMountDataProvider.
It access files in squashfs or ext3 overlays using the singularity
bindmount feature.
* The NeuroHub interface now shows the user's own private project.
* A new 'stream' action has been added to the userfile model,
allowing seemless path-based access to file contents.
* Sysadmins have access to a set of new rake tasks to extract old record
from the resource_usage table, and get them saved into YAML files.
Replacement monthly summary records can then be reinserted in the database
so that the usage tracking for all resources stay accurate.

Other enhancements:

* New NOC status and statistics pages: users over time, tools usage
over time, tasks CPU time over time.
* The main login page has a public list of configured tools and datasets.
* The data structure that maintains statistics about the portal
requests has been simplified.
* S3 data providers can be configued with distinct regions and endpoints.
* A new class of users, AutomatedUser, is available for automatic systems.
* Admins can configure overlays for Singularity-launched tools
by provding the overlays as userfiles.
* A new tool, SimpleFileExtractor, is provided with the distribution.
