Feature updates and improvements​

Co-Scientist​

• Made Projects available in organization workspaces to roles with the Projects permission, which existing custom roles don't include.

• Added a Projects permission category to custom roles.
• Surfaced proj_ labels as projects in Labels settings.
• Limited the launch picker on a project's Runs tab to pipelines that carry the project's label.

Pipelines​

• Added a Fusion version selector to the launch form, and limited both version lists to compatible versions.

Studios​

• Added Conda packages for custom container images under More settings.
• Shortened the browser tab title on the Studio details and connect pages to Studio: <name>.

Data Explorer​

• Added the bucket versioning state (Enabled, Suspended, Disabled, or Unknown) to the About data repository dialog for Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Storage data repositories.

Data lineage​

• Changed See in Data Explorer on the run Outputs tab to use the output directory from the run's lineage record.

Credentials​

• Added the Set up Workload Identity Federation in GCP panel to Google Workload Identity credentials created from the compute environment form.

Monitoring​

• Added a Quick launch action to the empty runs list.

Bug fixes​

Pipelines​

• Fixed the Add and Update buttons on the action and pipeline forms staying disabled after a pipeline revision failed to load.

Actions​

• Fixed a paused action that names a deleted pipeline being resumable instead of asking you to point it at a live pipeline.

Compute environments​

• Fixed Azure Batch Forge compute environment creation accepting a malformed container registry credential ID, or more than one.

Access control​

• Fixed selecting a template for a custom role not applying its permissions.

General​

Fusion v2.6.8 lets Intelligent Compute relaunch a task from a clean start after a failed snapshot restore, and fixes stale file handle errors on idle files in NFS service mode.

How to pin this version​

fusion {
  enabled = true
  containerConfigUrl = 'https://fusionfs.seqera.io/releases/v2.6.8-amd64.json'
}

Feature updates and improvements​

Fusion Snapshots​

• Added FUSION_SNAPSHOT_CLEAN_START. When it is set, Fusion cleans the work directory and removes leftover snapshot data before the task starts, so a task whose snapshot restore failed can be relaunched from scratch in the same work directory. Intelligent Compute sets it when it relaunches such a task.

Bug fixes​

NFS service mode​

• Fixed files and directories left idle during a task failing with a stale file handle error.

General​

• Fixed a spurious Check available filesystem space error printed every time a mount shut down.

Dependencies​

• Updated test and CI tooling and dependencies.

Upgrade notes​

• Drop-in replacement for v2.6.7. No configuration changes required.
• FUSION_SNAPSHOT_CLEAN_START applies to NFS service mode only, and you do not need to set it yourself. Without it, Fusion behaves as in v2.6.7.
• File handles in NFS service mode stay valid while the Fusion mount keeps running. They do not survive a restart of the mount.

Fusion v2.6.7 fixes a regression introduced in v2.6.6 that stopped retried tasks from starting when Fusion serves a work directory over NFS. If you run v2.6.6 in that configuration, upgrade.

How to pin this version​

fusion {
  enabled = true
  containerConfigUrl = 'https://fusionfs.seqera.io/releases/v2.6.7-amd64.json'
}

Bug fixes​

NFS service mode​

• Fixed retried tasks timing out with exit code 173 on every host after an interruption.
• Fixed a work directory emptied by an earlier attempt failing to prepare.
• Halved the storage listings needed to prepare a work directory.

Dependencies​

• Updated build tooling and dependencies.

Upgrade notes​

• Drop-in replacement for v2.6.6. No configuration changes required.
• The regression affects Fusion in NFS mode on v2.6.6 only. Earlier v2.6 releases are unaffected.
• Two limitations remain. A work directory reused without being cleaned is not swept, and leftover names can persist there. Snapshot restore in NFS mode is still under active work. Do not assume every restore path is covered.

Fusion v2.6.6 fixes two Fusion Snapshots restore failures and extends Spot reclamation protection for NFS service mode to Google Cloud and Azure.

How to pin this version​

fusion {
  enabled = true
  containerConfigUrl = 'https://fusionfs.seqera.io/releases/v2.6.6-amd64.json'
}

Bug fixes​

Fusion Snapshots​

• Fixed snapshot restore failing for a task relaunched after its instance was reclaimed.
• Fixed Fusion Snapshots never writing a checkpoint on Google Cloud VMs launched by Intelligent Compute.

NFS service mode​

• Fixed tasks losing their NFS export when a Google Cloud or Azure host was reclaimed.

Dependencies​

• Fixed CI and updated dependencies.

Upgrade notes​

• Drop-in replacement for v2.6.5. No configuration changes required.
• The permissions fix resolves restore failures for a task relaunched after a reclaim. Snapshot restore in NFS mode is still under active work. If you rely on snapshots, do not assume every restore path is covered.

Fusion v2.6.5 fixes Fusion Snapshots restore for a task that is preempted and relaunched, and fixes renamed directories, the storage region lookup, and cache cleanup on unmount.

How to pin this version​

fusion {
  enabled = true
  containerConfigUrl = 'https://fusionfs.seqera.io/releases/v2.6.5-amd64.json'
}

Bug fixes​

Fusion Snapshots​

• Fixed a relaunched task not finding the checkpoint its previous attempt took.
• Fixed a snapshot missing files from the task work directory in NFS mode.

General​

• Fixed a renamed directory stranding files that were still uploading.
• Added a timeout to the first lookup of a bucket region.
• Fixed mounts never removing their working folder under the cache location.

Dependencies​

• Updated the Go toolchain to 1.27.1.
• Removed dead code and updated CI and dependencies.

Upgrade notes​

• Drop-in replacement for v2.6.4. No configuration changes required.
• The snapshot restore fix covers a task relaunched on a different instance, which is what happens when an instance is reclaimed. A task relaunched against the same still-running Fusion daemon that drained the previous attempt still fails to restore.

Breaking changes​

• Google Batch and Google Cloud compute environments now require a VPC network when Use private address is enabled, and Google Batch also requires a subnet. Both the compute environment form and the API reject a create or update request that enables private addressing without them. Previously, the environment was accepted and failed later at pipeline launch.

Feature updates and improvements​

Compute environments​

• Added the AWS r9gd instance family to the local NVMe list.
• Removed the Preview badge from Seqera Compute in the compute environment platform list.

Credentials​

• Removed the Beta notice from Azure Entra service principal credentials.
• Added a Set up Workload Identity Federation in GCP panel to Google Workload Identity credentials, listing the values to copy into your Google Cloud project: the OpenID Connect issuer URL, the google.subject mapping that makes Cloud Audit Logs trace activity back to the acting Seqera user, and a recommended attribute condition that pins the workload identity pool to your organization and workspace. The provider, service account email, and token audience fields moved to a Connect the federated identity panel.

Pipelines​

• Added deduplication of repeated GitHub webhook deliveries to an action, preventing a resend from launching the pipeline a second time. A delivery that cannot be recorded now returns 500, and GitHub offers the resend rather than reporting success.
• Added an audit log record for every action firing.
• Added a Created by column to the Actions list.
• Grouped the action form into Details, Trigger, and Target sections. The form omits the Trigger section for GitHub and Seqera sources, which a webhook endpoint drives instead.

Bug fixes​

Compute environments​

• Fixed Kubernetes, EKS, and GKE compute environment validation reporting every connection failure as Unexpected error while processing request, so connection timeouts, refused connections, DNS failures, TLS and certificate errors, and endpoints that are not a Kubernetes API server now each report what failed.
• Fixed GKE cluster discovery reporting a generic 400 for revoked keys, exceeded quotas, and unreachable API endpoints instead of the underlying Google Cloud error.
• Fixed compute environment validation reusing a cached client from a different compute environment, so correcting a field and resubmitting, or updating credentials, now validates against the new values.
• Fixed GKE compute environments that use Workload Identity Federation failing with a 500 when reading run logs or downloading files.
• Fixed Azure Cloud compute environment creation failing with an unexplained error when the credentials cannot read back a resource the forge has just created, so the error now names the resource and the missing read permission.
• Fixed pipeline additions against Tower Agent compute environments intermittently failing with Timeout waiting for command response.

Studios​

• Fixed Studios with mounted data links failing to start on Seqera Compute and on AWS Cloud, Azure Cloud, and Google Cloud compute environments.
