Release Notes v2.6 (September 2022)

Index External Dataset from Application UI

External data are indexed on creation, files can be viewed in the data asset UI.

A new public API has been introduced to improve the indexing of external datasets. Once an external dataset is created it should be available to attach it to a capsule regardless of the indexing process.

Public API

Public API is a feature that manages the Code Ocean core functionalities, the following features/improvements have been added:

• Run Pipeline API which is similar to running a capsule.

• Run API improvement allowing dataset substitution and specification of app panel parameters.

• Capture Results functionality added to the Create Data Assets API by supporting a computation as the source of data.

• Updates to Data Asset API by allowing the addition/update of specific custom fields.

Stop Computation from Capsule Dashboard

A Cloud Workstation can be shut down or put on hold from the capsule dashboard

Stop Computation during Post Run Step

A computation can be stopped during a post run step, for example results collection during a Reproducible Run or syncing back to the capsule after a Cloud Workstation session.

If a user wants to return to their capsule quickly to continue working, the stop computation functionality can reduce the time spent waiting for potentially unnecessary steps to complete (e.g. collecting results that aren’t needed).

A warning is issued before performing the action. For Reproducible Run, the warning is that the results will be lost. For Cloud Workstation, any changes made to the capsule and environment will be lost.

Show Capsule ID for Released Capsules under Metadata

This feature allows users to find the ID of a release capsule which is required for certain APIs (e.g. the run capsule API).
