CLC Main Workbench versions

v7.6 [Apr 1, 2015]
CLC Main Workbench 7.6.2
Release date: June 15, 2015
Bug fixes
Added a work around to a java issue that occasionally resulted in the Workbench displaying an uninformative error and requiring a restart to continue working.
Fixed an issue with running BLAST at NCBI where an NCBI-generated error about their CPU usage limit being exceeded was not being reported transparently and a result of "no hits" was being reported instead.
A fix was applied to avoid an exception in circumstances when the cleanup of downloaded files from BLAST failed.
The Reverse Translate tool ignored any genetic code specified in the codon frequency tables. All reverse translation would thus default to the standard genetic code.
When installing a workflow with bundled data, it is no longer possible to select a read-only folder for storing the data.
Fixed wrong display of "Supported format" when exporting elements from either the Folder Editor or the Local Search Editor.
Fix of potential wrong file being saved when editing a file found via the Local Search Editor.
Plots inside reports are now shown with their saved side panel settings.
Fixed saving different line colors in plots through the side panel.
Side panel option to show legends for a plot with more than 10 samples is now enabled.
Fixed an issue that led to an error when rendering plots for empty data sets.
Fixed an issue where the "Empty Recycle Bin” option was sometimes incorrectly unavailable.
CLC Main Workbench 7.6.1
Release date: April 16, 2015
New features and improvements
BLAST has been upgraded to BLAST 2.2.30 that includes a number of improvements and bug fixes. A full list of BLAST 2.2.30 changes can be viewed at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK131777
The GTF exporter is now available for the Main Workbench.
Transcriptomics experiment and sample tables can now be sorted, even with large numbers of rows.
Improved Excel, HTML and tab delimited export of variants (choose only the annotations/columns you need).
The results of BLAST searches now include a new view, the Blast Hit Table.
Bug fixes
Fixed an issue with running blast searches at the NCBI where an NCBI-generated error about their CPU usage limit being exceeded was not being reported transparently and a result of "no hits" was being reported instead.
Fixed an error affecting the "Cut Sequence Before/After Selection" tool in the Cloning editor.
Fixed bug where a left-click quickly followed by right-click was interpreted as double-click on OS X (in the persistence search result list, in the toolbox tree, and in the workflow editor).
CLC Main Workbench 7.6
Release date: February 24, 2015
New features and improvements
Tracks:
Consistent output when enriching variant tracks and annotation tracks with extra table columns. Output tracks from these tools now have the same number of added table columns and the columns will always be in the same order. Previously, if an added column had empty values for all variant rows, it would have been removed from the final table, resulting in varying number and relative order of additional columns when multiple samples were processed with the same tools/workflows. All columns are retained now, facilitating downstream processing of exported tables, and providing immediate visual reference as to which enrichment/annotation tools have been applied, even if they did not produce any results for a particular sample.
Tables for variant tracks and annotation tracks can now sort and filter columns with cells containing multiple numbers.
Improved the track viewer for variant tracks to show the sequence alteration on the rendered variant.
Graph tracks now show negative values filled upwards to y=0 (as expected).
Increased decimals for numbers when exporting table to CSV, tab delimited text, and Excel.
Improved reporting of errors related to low disk space.
Workflows:
When installing a workflow in the workflow manager, the newly installed workflow is automatically selected.
The "Run" button in the workflow editor does not require a saved workflow anymore to be enabled.
In the execution wizard of a workflow the "Reset to default" button is now active.
All icons in the workflow editor are now on the left side.
Introduction of snippets: Parts of workflows can now be saved as a snippet and reused in other workflows.
Installed workflows: It is now possible to create a copy of an installed workflow and open the copy in the view area by clicking once and then right-clicking on the installed workflow in the toolbox. This brings up the option "Open Copy of Workflow".
New features for the 3D molecule viewer:
Align to Existing Sequence makes it possible to connect a 3D protein chain to a sequence, sequence list, or an existing alignment.

v7.5 [Sep 5, 2014]
- The input information is now shown in the preview dialog and also exported to all formats.
- It is now possible to edit the workflow input name by right-clicking on the input name in the workflow.
- Workflows as such can have multiple inputs (though this will disable the batch functionality).
- Data can now be directly bundled with a workflow installation. This means that reference data can be packed and shared together with a workflow (only recommended for small data).
- A workflow input can be pre-configured. If kept unlocked, it can be used to give a default when executing the workflow.
- A text field has been added to the side panel, where you can search for elements in the workflow. A found element will be centered and highlighted.
