ACAS

Base ACAS

  • New Feature: Revamped ACAS Label Sequences to be backed by true database sequences, and added a UI for creating new Label Sequences and associating them with user roles.
  • Bugfix: Reworked database authentication user signup, password reset, and password change workflow.
  • New Feature: Added a new configuration option to control the ACAS homepage link url.

ACAS Component

  • New Feature: Added “code” and “isTestedEntity” to ConfiguredEntityTypes to allow for code and displayName to differ, and to filter which entity types are usable in SEL.
  • New Feature: Added new entity save locking feature to Example Thing.
  • New Feature: Added a database API view to expose condition columns loaded via SEL.

ACAS Infrastructure

ACAS SEL

  • New Feature: Added an example SEL preprocessor that de-aliases barcodes into lot Corporate IDs.

Added an alternate Dockerfile for the Indigo build, and switched the Compound Reg builds to require a Maven build profile to be passed in: “-P default” for JChem mode, or “-P indigo” for Indigo/Bingo mode.
  • Bugfix: Fixed error that occurs when structure search is performed on an empty database.
