Dear Users,

We would like to inform you of a planned release being deployed for CloudOS.

SW 5.10 Tyrosine Release will be deployed on Thursday, 23 October 2025 between 09:00 (BST) and 18:00 (BST).

Please note that we cannot ensure the normal functionality of the CloudOS application during this time.

This release will include a number of new features for CloudOS, including:
Advanced Analytics
-Workspace admins can now delete intermediate job results, preview input files, and visually monitor job cost limits.
-Improved CLI messages enhance file management.
-Batch jobs save outputs directly to S3 for faster, more cost-effective performance.
-Users can refresh results mid-job.
-CLI errors are automatically logged, and workflow errors are displayed directly in job monitoring for easier troubleshooting.
Data Science
-Instance options have been optimised for better interactive session performance, now with a minimum of 4 CPUs and 8 GB RAM.
-Files containing ‘=’ can now be included in Interactive sessions.
-Idle limits are now visible on the session monitor, with user-defined limits overriding workspace settings.
-The Cohort Browser now includes an Attrition Table for tracking participant filtering.
-The VSCode environment has been upgraded for wider plugin compatibility and productivity enhancements.
Procurement Management
-Procurement Admins can now view, add, and remove other Procurement admins directly from Procurement Settings interface.
Organisation Management
-Organisation Admins can now view the name and timestamp of the last workspace accessed by each member, directly within the Organisation Settings.
