Apache Taverna Engine <version>, Apache Taverna Activities <version>, Apache Taverna CommandLine <version>
Introduction
These are the release notes for the release of Taverna Engine, Taverna Activities, and Taverna CommandLine.
New Features
(1) Improved WSDL support
This release adds improved WSDL support using Apache Woden. The code has two parsers (wsdl 1.1 based on WSDL4j and 2.0 based on Woden) that implement a common interface (inherited from “wsdl-generic” based on AXIS 1.4). The service execution part is based on embedded JAX-WS API, but given that this part is calling the abstract interface, there shouldn’t be a significant change.
Improvements/Enhancements
(1) TBD
Removed / Retired Features
(1) Activities
These activities were part of the alpha release (3.0.a2), but ARE NO LONGER supported.
– RShell
– Soaplab
– Biomart
They are now maintained (??) separately as part of the Taverna Plugin Bioinformatics and Taverna Extras. (What does this mean? Will they be part of a future release?)
This should be moved to a second release notes for the next release of Engine/Activities/CommandLine
