+===========================================================
+24.2 Galaxy Release (February 2025)
+===========================================================
+
+.. include:: _header.rst
+
+Highlights
+===========================================================
+
+
+
+**A Wizard-like Export View for Workflow Invocations**. The workflow invocation
+export process has been enhanced with a new wizard-like interface, making it
+more guided and user-friendly. This interface simplifies complex processes with
+many options, providing a step-by-step approach to exporting workflow
+invocations.
+
+**Workflow Editor Enhancements: Activity Bar and Undo Stack UI**. The Activity
+Bar is now present in the Workflow Editor along side multiple interface
+improvements.
+
+**Masthead Revision and Activity Bar Improvements**. The Galaxy masthead has
+been revised to achieve consistency and reduce redundancy, aligning its
+functionality with the Activity Bar.
+
+**Improved Navigation and Usability of Collection Builders**. To guide users
+towards creating collections of the correct type, Galaxy now provides better
+navigation via buttons directly on data collection parameters. Users can create
+a collection with the required structure for the input, with pre-filtered items
+from their current history, also ensuring compatibility with required file
+extensions. Additionally, users can upload datasets directly to the collection
+builder.
+
+**Enhanced Workflow Invocation View**. The Workflow Invocation View, introduced
+in the previous release has been significantly refined to improve the usability
+and visualization of workflow runs.
+
+**Display Metrics for Workflow Invocations**. Galaxy now provides a Metrics tab
+in the Workflow Invocation View, allowing users to quickly summarize runtime,
+memory usage, and core allocation per invocation. This enhancement helps users
+better understand the resource usage of their workflows.
+
+**Libraries Modernization: Directory Dataset Picker**. The dataset picker for
+user and import directories has been modernized, providing a more intuitive and
+user-friendly interface. Users can now easily import files or folders from
+their user directory or import directory into a library.
+
+**Live Reporting of Job Console Outputs**. If enabled by the Galaxy
+administrators, it will now be possible to view live console output for running
+jobs. The job output will be available on the Job Information page where these
+logs have always been available for completed jobs.
+
+**ChatGXY - Job Error Wizard**. With this release, we're excited to introduce
+ChatGXY — AI assistance built directly into the Galaxy interface. The first
+functionality being rolled out is an AI-driven job error diagnoser that
+automatically inspects errored jobs and provides actionable insights. Users on
+supported servers can access this feature through the Dataset Error interface,
+where ChatGXY offers targeted suggestions to help diagnose and resolve job
+errors quickly and efficiently.
+
+
+Please see the `24.2 user release notes <24.2_announce_user.html>`__ for a summary of new user features.
+
+Get Galaxy
+===========================================================
+
+The code lives at `GitHub <https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy>`__ and you should have `Git <https://git-scm.com/>`__ to obtain it.
+
+To get a new Galaxy repository run:
+  .. code-block:: shell
+
+      $ git clone -b release_24.2 https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy.git
+
+To update an existing Galaxy repository run:
+  .. code-block:: shell
+
+      $ git fetch origin && git checkout release_24.2 && git pull --ff-only origin release_24.2
+
+See the `community hub <https://galaxyproject.org/develop/source-code/>`__ for additional details on source code locations.
+
+Upcoming Deprecation Notices
+===========================================================
+
+**Deprecation of support for Python 3.8 in Galaxy release 25.0**
+  This Galaxy release (24.2) will be the last release that supports Python 3.8.
+  We encourage updating to a newer version of Python if possible.
+
+Admin Notes
+===========================================================
+
+* Migrating the database to 24.2 may require a short downtime. The 24.2
+  database migrations require exclusive access to the `galaxy_user` table.
+  Therefore, it is recommended to shut down all Galaxy procesess while
+  upgrading the database.
+* Database migration `04288b6a5b25 (make dataset uuids unique)` requires
+  function `gen_random_uuid()` which was added in PostgreSQL version 13.0.
+  Prior to version 13.0, UUID generation functions were available in the
+  external modules uuid-ossp and pgcrypto (see `PostgreSQL 13.0 release notes
+  <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/release/13.0/>`__). Thus, you need to
+  upgrade your database to version 13.0 or newer, or, alternatively, load the
+  pgcrypto extension (see `this solution on Stackoverflow
+  <https://stackoverflow.com/a/35960732/1382596>`__).  * A user's email address
+  is no longer used as the name of their private role;
+  instead, the association between a user and their private role is handled
+  through a foreign key at the database level. Although a role name is no
+  longer required to be unique in the database (automatically generated private
+  roles have the generic name "private role"), manually created roles still
+  must have a unique name; this prevents from accidentally creating duplicate
+  roles.
+* The user/role/group association tables in the database have been given
+  additional constraints which prevent accidental creation of duplicate or
+  incomplete records. In addition to these changes to the database schema, the
+  database upgrade includes data migration scripts (executed as part of the
+  upgrade) which will automatically fix any inconsistent data in these tables.
+  [`#18777 <https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/18777>`__]
+* OAuth 2.0 enabled plugin for Dropbox has been added to the user defined file
+  sources framework. See `#18272 <https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/18272>`__
+  for updates to the admin documentation on how to build and configure a
+  Dropbox app within Dropbox for a Galaxy instance.
+* Support has been added for high-availability setups for the interactive tools proxy.
+  [`#18481 <https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/18481>`__]

+24.2 Galaxy Release (January 2025)
+===========================================================

+.. include:: _header.rst
+
+Please see the full :doc:`24.2 release notes <24.2_announce>` for more details.
+
+Highlights
+===========================================================
+
+A Wizard-like Export View for Workflow Invocations
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+The workflow invocation export process has been enhanced with a new wizard-like interface,
+making it more guided and user-friendly. This interface simplifies complex processes with many
+options, providing a step-by-step approach to exporting workflow invocations.
+
+- **Select export format**. Choose from various formats such as RO Crate, BioCompute Object,
+  or Compressed File.
+- **Choose export destination**. Options include temporary direct download, remote file source,
+  or RDM repository.
+- **Export**! Finalize and complete the export process with ease.
+
+This new interface aims to improve the user experience and may be extended to other complex
+processes in Galaxy in the future.
+[`#18796 <https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/18796>`__]
+
+.. figure:: images/24.2-export-invocation-wizard.gif
+   :alt: Export invocation wizard.
+
+Workflow Editor Enhancements: Activity Bar and Undo Stack UI
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+The Activity Bar is now present in the Workflow Editor along side multiple interface
+improvements.
+[`#18729 <https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/18729>`__]
+[`#18548 <https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/18548>`__]
+
+- **No more double side bars**. Inspecting a step now has it's own floating window,
+  which can be easily expanded and remembers it's size. All other features were moved to the
+  left side-bar.
+- **Undo redo UI**. A new interactive way of viewing recent changes. Click a change to scroll
+  backwards and forwards in time.
+- **Layout anything with ease**. The auto-layout feature was moved to the Editor Tool Bar. It
+  now aligns to the grid, untangles connections, and sorts Workflow Comments along with steps.
+- **Find your workflows**. Workflows now have their own dedicated interface, from which you can
+  find, copy into, and inserts Sub-Workflows into your Workflow.
+- **Inputs** are not tools, and are now no longer treated as such. Find inputs in their own
+  interface, and easily add input sub-types directly.

+
+Masthead Revision and Activity Bar Improvements
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+The Galaxy masthead has been revised to achieve consistency and reduce redundancy, aligning its
+functionality with the Activity Bar.
+
+- **New "More" activity**. Hidden and less frequently used activities are now accessible through
+  a new "More" activity, allowing users to add or remove items from the activity bar and navigate
+  directly to any activity.
+- **Username visible in masthead**. The username is now visible in the masthead, with user
+  preferences and logout options accessible through the user dropdown.
+- **A compact masthead**. The masthead has been streamlined, removing redundant links and only
+  displaying essential items such as storage and the username on the right end.
+
+These changes enhance the user experience by making the interface more intuitive and reducing
+clutter.

+
+Improved Navigation and Usability of Collection Builders
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+To guide users towards creating collections of the correct type, Galaxy now provides
+better navigation via buttons directly on data collection parameters. Users can create a
+collection with the required structure for the input, with pre-filtered items from their
+current history, also ensuring compatibility with required file extensions. Additionally, users
+can upload datasets directly to the collection builder. These updates will improve the user
+experience of opening a workflow run form, creating appropriate collection(s) for its inputs
+and running the workflow in one seamless iteration.

+
+Enhanced Workflow Invocation View
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+The Workflow Invocation View, introduced in the `previous release <24.1_announce_user.html>`__
+has been significantly refined to improve the usability and visualization of workflow runs.
+[`#18615 <https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/18615>`__]
+
+Updates include:
+
+- **Workflow steps moved to a separate tab**, allocating maximum space for the graph.
+- **Progress bars relocated to the header** for a cleaner layout.
+- **Workflow inputs displayed directly on the graph**, eliminating the need for clicking
+  and investigating each input.
+- **The Invocations panel also toggles out on mouse leave**, providing an uncluttered view when
+  exploring runs.

+     - Only the currently active step shows below, leaving full width for graph, progress
+       bars in the Header
+
+Display Metrics for Workflow Invocations
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+Galaxy now provides a Metrics tab in the Workflow Invocation View, allowing users to quickly
+summarize runtime, memory usage, and core allocation per invocation. This enhancement helps users
+better understand the resource usage of their workflows. The Metrics tab displays runtime in
+seconds and core allocation for each step and tool in the workflow.

+
+.. figure:: images/24.2-workflow-invocation-metrics.png
+   :alt: Metrics tab in the Workflow Invocation View.
+
+Libraries Modernization: Directory Dataset Picker
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+The dataset picker for user and import directories has been modernized, providing a more
+intuitive and user-friendly interface. Users can now easily import files or folders from their
+user directory or import directory into a library. Admins can also import datasets from a
+specified path. Additionally, the new History Dataset Picker allows users to explore their
+histories and select datasets to add to the library, streamlining the dataset management process.
+[`#18638 <https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/18638>`__]

+.. raw:: html
+

+
+Live Reporting of Job Console Outputs
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+If enabled by the Galaxy administrators, it will now be possible to view live console output
+for running jobs. The job output will be available on the Job Information page where these
+logs have always been available for completed jobs. The job information view has also been
+updated with scrollable code blocks, a more intuitive expand/collapse feature,
+and an auto-scroll function for seamless log viewing. This should allow you to debug issues with
+running jobs faster and track the progress of running jobs in realtime in a way that has never
+been an option in Galaxy. A huge thanks to Gregory Cage at Oak Ridge National Laboratory for
+this valuable contribution!
+[`#16975 <https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/16975>`__]
+
+
+ChatGXY - Job Error Wizard
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+With this release, we're excited to introduce ChatGXY — AI assistance built
+directly into the Galaxy interface. The first functionality being rolled out is
+an AI-driven job error diagnoser that automatically inspects errored jobs and
+provides actionable insights. Users on supported servers can access this
+feature through the Dataset Error interface, where ChatGXY offers targeted
+suggestions to help diagnose and resolve job errors quickly and efficiently.
+[`#15860 <https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/15860>`__]
