[ANN] Galaxy 1.5 Released Today!

[Jerry Daniels]

Mark, I think I'm defining version control in a stricter sense than  
Galaxy's auto-archiving provides.

The internal version control system for Galaxy itself does versioning  
in the sense that I would define it. It "publishes" multiple versions  
of Galaxy to a server that is hooked into Galaxy's version chooser.  
Each type of Galaxy user (Studio-Llite-Free) gets a different menu of  
versions in Galaxy's updater component. Users for Studio-Lite-Free  
can then choose "their" version.

We also do "staging" where certain versions of Galaxy are not  
published for certain users. For example, users in our QA program see  
more "versions" than do Studio users. Unit testers see every  
iteration. That's what comes to mind when version control is  
mentioned--it includes "staging" and servers.

All that said, the Galaxy archiving feature (which did not slip my  
feeble mind) is a great, local version control system, although,  
given my firm commitment to truth in advertising, I could not  
possibly say that. (Oblique Francis Urquhart reference from House of  
Cards BBC miniseries!).

Best,

Jerry Daniels
