v3.0.0 - Titanium Tapir

Highlights

• Pipeline commands are renamed from nf-core <comand> to nf-core pipelines <command> to follow the same command structure as modules and subworkflows commands.
• More customisation for pipeline templates. The template has been divided into features which can be skipped, e.g. you can create a new pipeline without any traces of FastQC in it.

v2.14.0 - Tantalum Toad

This release contains some template changes and nf-core/tools updates.

🌟 Highlights 🌟

nf-core/tools functionalities

• We included a new linting test to ensure that nf-test snapshots contain the versions.yml file.
• Components (modules and subworkflows) can now handle more possible git URLs (ssh:// and ftp://).
• The nf-core download command has a new argument --tag, which allows adding additional tags to select particular revisions in the Seqera Platform interface. For example, --tag "3.10=validated"{:bash} would allow you to quickly select the validated version of the pipeline.

Pipeline template

• We updated the GitHub Action which tests that the pipeline can be downloaded correctly (download_pipeline.yml)
• We removed pyproject.toml from the template.
• Pipeline-specific institutional configs support is now activated for all pipelines by default.
• The .nf-core.yml file contains now the version of the pipeline template.
