VBGE/Software version history
From VectorBase Help System
This page lists the changes made to the VBGE web application (this includes the statistical analysis).
Very minor changes that do not affect the user experience might not be reported here (for example, turning off some debugging in the logs).
The most recent changes are at the top of the page.
| VBGE software version 2.0.10 | |
| Date | 2008-11-10 |
| SVN revision | 570 |
| Change summary | When viewing a gene+experiment page, the expression summary table is now expanded by default. |
| VBGE software version 2.0.9 | |
| Date | 2008-10-14 |
| SVN revision | 565 |
| Change summary | To aid restore from backup (which now does not dump the cache), the cache table is created automatically when it is not there. |
| VBGE software version 2.0.8 | |
| Date | 2008-09-29 |
| SVN revision | 561 |
| Change summary | Added a caching mechanism for gene expression summaries (not reporters). This should speed up the newly added Gene DAS server (soon to be announced), as well as the main webapp of course. |
| VBGE software version 2.0.7 | |
| Date | 2008-09-19 |
| SVN revision | 547 |
| Change summary | Yet more work on robustness. A lot of objects were being stored at the tomcat session level, but now they are at request level. Added an explicit Base2DBAdaptor.closeBase2() method and call after all processing is done. Set from within the servlet, the session (now pretty much redundant) has only 60s idle timeout. |
| VBGE software version 2.0.6 | |
| Date | 2008-09-18 |
| SVN revision | 546 |
| Change summary | Yet more work on robustness. Found that we were leaking JDBC connections. Added an explicit System.gc() to wipe DBAdaptor after each request and more finalize code to close SessionControl and DbControl. Any more probs then try increasing hibernate pool size. |
| VBGE software version 2.0.5 | |
| Date | 2008-09-17 |
| SVN revision | 544 |
| Change summary | Pageloads were increased by up to 2x using the transient DbControl. No longer open/close individual DbControls per db fetch. Googlebot is creating new sessions each time, so we have stopped caching the DBAdaptor with the session - it doesn't really matter to make a new one for each HTTP request. |
| VBGE software version 2.0.4 | |
| Date | 2008-09-16 |
| SVN revision | 543 |
| Change summary | Fixed a DbControl related bug which caused a problem when there was bad/missing data for spots. Please note that the buggy version never went live. |
| VBGE software version 2.0.3 | |
| Date | 2008-09-15 |
| SVN revision | 540 |
| Change summary | DbControls are now transient and always closed after use. This should fix the hibernate connection pool overflow but it's also slightly slower (less hibernate caching?). Separate JDBC connection now also times out in line with hibernate timeout. |
| VBGE software version 2.0.2 | |
| Date | 2008-09-12 |
| SVN revision | 538 |
| Change summary | SessionControl.logout() and close() added to Base2DBAdaptor finalize method to prevent (hopefully) server crash. Hibernate connection pool limit increased too. |
| VBGE software version 2.0.1 | |
| Date | 2008-09-10 |
| SVN revision | 536 |
| Change summary | Concurrent access problems should be fixed. Genotype icon added. |
| VBGE software version 2.0.0 | |
| Date | 2008-07-07 |
| SVN revision | 532 |
| Change summary | Public release! Minor style tweaks for browser compatibility. |
| VBGE software version 2.0RC2 (release candidate 2) | |
| Date | 2008-07-01 |
| SVN revision | 529 |
| Change summary | Browser page titles are now more informative. Extra navigation link "back to all experiments". Plot axis label improved. Minor display-related reporter↔gene bug fixed. Upgraded to BASE 2.7.2 and tomcat 6 |
| VBGE software version 2.0RC1 (release candidate 1) | |
| Date | 2008-06-25 |
| SVN revision | 525 |
| Change summary | Documentation and tooltips completed |
