See [this page](/project/p-flow/f-pipelines/git-sourced-pipelines-experimental/basic-git-sourced-pipeline-example.md) for a basic example of how to configure and use the feature. {% endhint %} #### New Features and Enhancements * General * The createTemporaryCredentials endpoint\ `POST /api/projects/{projectId}/data/{dataId}:createTemporaryCredentials`\ now returns an expiryDate for the AWS temporary credentials so clients (including Bench) can refresh before the credentials expire. See [createTemporaryCredentialsForData](https://ica.illumina.com/ica/api/swagger/index.html#/Project%20Data/createTemporaryCredentialsForData). * Base * \- * Bench * \- * Cohorts * \- * Data Management * The data-search endpoint `GET /api/projects/{projectId}/data` now accepts analysisId and analysisDataType filters so you can list files produced by a specific analysis (supported for analyses created in v2.41 and later). See [getProjectDataList](https://ica.illumina.com/ica/api/swagger/index.html#/Project%20Data/getProjectDataList). * Flow * **All users can now import Nextflow** [**pipelines from Git**](/project/p-flow/f-pipelines/git-sourced-pipelines-experimental.md) * Nextflow v20.10 is no longer supported. See [Nextflow](/project/p-flow/f-pipelines/pi-nextflow.md) * The analysis object available to pipeline onGenomeView, onRender, and onSubmit JavaScript hooks now includes the analysis status as a string (null during onRender and onSubmit). #### Fixed Issues * General * Read-only dropdown, date, and dialog fields no longer show the open-picker icon, so it's clearer at a glance that they can't be edited. * Fixed an 'Unexpected error occurred when updating project permission' error that could appear when editing team permissions on a project using billing-mode project. * Two users in the same tenant can now reuse a credential name. Previously, creating credentials failed if another user had already used the same name. * The `GET /api/storageConfigurations` response now includes the storageCredentials id, so you no longer need a separate lookup to find which credential a storage configuration uses. * Base * Base Query now supports columns of type TIMESTAMPTZ (timestamp with time zone). Queries that previously returned an 'Unexpected error' now run as expected. (fixes a known issue). * Bench * \- * Cohorts * \- * Data Management * Fixed `icav2 projectdata copy` hanging when the source file is archived. The copy now fails immediately with a clear error. * Flow * You can now sort the Steps tab of an analysis (list view) by column — for example, to find the longest-running steps. * Launching an analysis with a non-empty 'user log' folder now displays a warning in the analysis details instead of silently overwriting the existing log files. * Pipeline clone API (`POST /api/projects/{projectId}/pipelines/{pipelineId}:clone`) improvements: the error message now distinguishes between 'Project' and 'Project/Bundle' when the source pipeline is not linked to the target project. * `POST /api/projects/{projectId}/pipelines/{pipelineId}:clone`, Name and code are now mandatory and return a validation error when omitted * `POST /api/projects/{projectId}/pipelines/{pipelineId}:clone`, pipeline names and codes containing disallowed characters are now rejected with a clear error instead of silently creating an invalid pipeline. * `POST /api/projects/{projectId}/pipelines/{pipelineId}:clone`, the response body now matches `POST /api/projects/{projectId}/pipelines:createCwlJsonPipeline` and includes projectId and bundleLinks. ## 2026 Apr 9 - ICA v2.44.2 #### Fixed Issues * General * Fixed an issue where calling the following endpoints without a version resulted in a 500 internal server error. These endpoints will now default to V3 if no version is specified. * GET /projects/{projectId}/pipelines * POST /projects/{projectId}/pipelines:createCwlPipeline * POST /projects/{projectId}/pipelines:createNextflowPipeline ## 2026 Apr 7 - ICA v2.44.1 #### Fixed Issues * General * Fixed an issue where creating a Docker image from a Docker file while in tree view resulted in a constraint violation. ## 2026 Apr 2 - ICA v2.44.0 #### New Features and Enhancements * General \* * Base \* * Bench * \- * Cohorts * Create Cohort page now dynamically updates subject attributes and counts based on the selected project and study filters. * Molecular Breakdown page now allows users to identify filtered subject lists by gene and clinical attribute values. * Marker Frequency Analysis now supports germline data, enabling gene‑level carrier frequency calculations across cohorts. * New REST APIs provide programmatic access to PromoterAI, PrimateAI, and SpliceAI scores using variant IDs. * Data Management * The data grid now displays a Type column (file/folder) as the first frozen column, includes improved search UX with mode toggle tooltips (“Flat view”/“Folder view”), redesigned breadcrumbs, and contextual search result captions. * Parent folder and path information are now combined into a single column in the data grid for a cleaner layout. * Flow * Users can now delete pipelines directly from the pipeline detail screen in the UI. #### Fixed Issues * General * Fixed an issue where pop-up windows (Export, Schedule for download, Create folder, etc.) could be opened multiple times simultaneously. * Fixed the Bundle creation screen so the Save button is active immediately; required-field validation now appears on click rather than disabling the button. * Fixed a session/EntityManager closed error related to idle database transactions. * Fixed duplicate redundant scrollbars appearing in several UI areas. * Base * Fixed the “Page unresponsive” issue when switching tabs in the Base Query screen. * Fixed the Base Query History search returning “Free text search is not supported” error. * Fixed Base reference fields showing internal IDs instead of UUIDs for pipeline\_reference and sample\_reference. * Renamed 'execution\_reference\_id' to 'analysis\_id' and 'sample\_reference\_id' to 'sample\_id' in Base tables for clarity. * Bench * Fixed GPU Bench workspaces failing to start; GPU instances updated from p3 to g5 instance family. Additional GPU families will be released in future versions. * Fixed a 403 Forbidden nginx error that could appear after creating a tool in Bench. * Fixed Docker build being allowed on a running workspace whose image had been deleted. * Fixed Docker not working on Bench cluster worker nodes when ephemeral disk size was 0. * Fixed long workspace names displaying partially outside their field boundary. * Fixed an error (okio.Socket) when starting a Bench workspace. * Cohorts * Fixed an issue where data ingestion via the Cohorts UI could fail for newly created ICA projects. * Import Jobs page now displays full job messages for improved visibility and troubleshooting. * Fixed an issue where cohort counts were incorrectly updated when delete jobs included blacklisted subjects. * Fixed an issue where shared cohort subject counts did not refresh correctly on the cohort list page. * Fixed an issue where loading cohorts with deleted blacklisted subjects could result in a 400 error. * Data Management * Fixed an issue where copying a folder within the same project with “Keep both” produced an error instead of creating a copy. * Fixed parent folder breadcrumbs not appearing when navigating into a subfolder from flat view. * Flow * Fixed an issue where analyses did not sort properly by Request date after using search. * Fixed input data not being dropped on Rerun for XML-based pipelines with configuration changes. * Fixed resource type duplicates appearing in graphical mode CWL machine profiles. * Fixed UI text overlap when long paths are entered in Logs/Output folder fields during analysis. * Fixed an error when clicking Preview during Graphical CWL pipeline creation. * Fixed inconsistent pipeline name validation when a slash (/) character was used. * Fixed an issue where Nextflow JSON pipelines could not be started. * Fixed the GET /api/projects/{projectId}/pipelines endpoint missing the ‘status’ parameter for non Draft/Released pipeline statuses. ## 2026 Feb 25 - ICA v2.43.0 #### New Features and Enhancements * General * Improved error identification for forms that have multiple tabs * Base * \- * Bench * Users now can select different Docker images for head nodes and worker nodes in Bench cluster workspaces. This gives users increased flexibility in how analyses are provisioned and run. * Cohorts * \- * Data Management * ICA Storage Configurations now support [**IAM roles**](/home/h-storage/s-awss3/iam-role-method.md) for improved security when accessing a customer-owned S3 bucket. Going forward, this is the recommended way to create new credentials. Corresponding APIs also have been updated. * Improved data search capabilities on the data tab * Flow * Improved guardrails to reduce bugs when users interact with pipeline statuses #### Fixed Issues * General * GPU instances updated from p3 to g5 instance family. Additional GPU families will be released in the near future. * API - POST /api/projects - The project creation endpoint now enforces a maximum string length of 255 characters for the "storageConfigurationSubfolder" field. * UI stability improvement for text editor. * Base * \- * Bench * \- * Cohorts * \- * Data Management * Improved error handling and retry logic for moving folders. * Flow * Fixed issue where specifying mount paths for input data did not work with data URNs. * Fixed issue with invalid numeric values able to be entered in CWL editor. * Fixed issue where not all CLI commands were supporting JSON input forms. ## 2026 Jan 28 - ICA v2.42.0 {% hint style="warning" %} Multi-user bench [workspaces](/project/p-bench/bench-workspaces.md) will no longer authenticate automatically. To use the CLI in these workspaces, you must provide an API key within the workspace.\ Single-user workspaces will continue to authenticate automatically.\ For workspaces created before this release, the change will take effect after they are restarted. {% endhint %} #### New Features and Enhancements * General * Nextflow v25.10 is now available and the default Nextflow version * Added support for pipeline filtering within the [analysis list view API](https://integration.v2.stratus.illumina.com/ica/api/unified/swagger/index.html#/Project%20Analysis/searchAnalyses) * Data Management * \- * Base * Minor updates to the Base UI * Bench * Multi-user bench [workspaces](/project/p-bench/bench-workspaces.md) will no longer authenticate automatically. * Created images will always be owned by the creating user, regardless of which domain the user is in * Flow * Improved guardrails to reduce bugs when users interact with pipeline statuses * Cohorts * \- #### Fixed Issues * General * The help icon now works appropriately when a banner message is displayed * Flow * Fixed an issue where an empty folder would be created when a user used custom output log folders in their analysis. * Analysis and workflow details now appropriately show in the UI. * Validation errors on invalid email entries for analysis notifications no longer persist after the email is corrected * Refreshing an analysis input form no longer automatically fills the email notification field with the last used email address * Base * \- * Bench * \- * Data Management * Fixed an issue that caused copy and paste of URL to not show filtered results when combining folders with filters * Data copy now prevents recursive copying of data with the "copy from" command * Cohorts * \- --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
