Bug Fixes

• Fix typo in Docker docs. Thanks @christabone. 2638

2.6.5

This release contains a fix that caused users to not be able to build due to a change to the Grails servers. See grails/grails-core#11825. If you are not able to upgrade Apollo to this version but still are experiencing build failures, you can update your BuildConfig.groovy file as in this PR: 2624.

Features

• Added method to upload bulk functional annotations from JSON in the interface. 2617,2618
• Added a "topLevel" option to the "getFeatures" web services endpoint that causes the endpoint to return top-level (e.g. gene) features. 2616

Bug Fixes

• Removed deprecation from SequenceController.sequenceByName. 2619
• Fix contextual menu for blastview tracks. Thanks @abretaud. 2621
• Make Python libraries installed globally in Docker image. 2622
• Update mavenRepo to fix error grails server error during build, see grails/grails-core#11825. 2624
