category
to be set.
- Various cosmetic changes to reports.
- Fixed encoding issues in reports.
- Fixed various bugs in job groups, shadow directive, singularity directive, and more.
- Fixed a bug in the report stylesheet.
- A new framework for self-contained HTML reports, including results, statistics and topology information. In future releases this will be further extended.

- Fix ImportError occuring with script directive.
- Use latest singularity.
- Improved caching for file existence checks. We first check existence of parent directories and cache these results. By this, large parts of the generated FS tree can be pruned if files are not yet present. If files are present, the overhead is minimal, since the checks for the parents are cached.
- Various minor bug fixes.
- Integration with CWL: the
cwl
directive allows to use CWL tool definitions in addition to shell commands or Snakemake wrappers. - A global
singularity
directive allows to define a global singularity container to be used for all rules that don't specify their own. - Singularity and Conda can now be combined. This can be used to specify the operating system (via singularity), and the software stack (via conda), without the overhead of creating specialized container images for workflows or tasks.
- Speedups when calculating dry-runs.
- Speedups for workflows with many rules when calculating the DAG.
- Accept SIGTERM to gracefully finish all running jobs and exit.

- Bug fix in shell usage of scripts and wrappers.
- Bug fixes for cluster execution, --immediate-submit and subworkflows.
- A new shadow mode (minimal) that only symlinks input files has been added.
- The default shell is now bash on linux and macOS. If bash is not installed, we fall back to sh. Previously, Snakemake used the default shell of the user, which defeats the purpose of portability. If the developer decides so, the shell can be always overwritten using shell.executable().
- Snakemake now requires Singularity 2.4.1 at least (only when running with --use-singularity).
- HTTP remote provider no longer automatically unpacks gzipped files.
- Fixed various smaller bugs.
- List all conda environments with their location on disk via --list-conda-envs.
- Do not clean up shadow on dry-run.
- Allow R wrappers.
- GridFTP remote provider. This is a specialization of the GFAL remote provider that uses globus-url-copy to download or upload files. # ## Changed
- Scheduling and execution mechanisms have undergone a major revision that removes several potential (but rare) deadlocks.
- Several bugs and corner cases of the singularity support have been fixed.
- Snakemake now requires singularity 2.4 at least.
- Support for executing jobs in per-rule singularity images. This is meant as an alternative to the conda directive (see docs), providing even more guarantees for reproducibility.
- In cluster mode, jobs that are still running after Snakemake has been killed are automatically resumed.
- Various fixes to GFAL remote provider.
- Fixed --summary and --list-code-changes.
- Many other small bug fixes.
- Support for configuration profiles. Profiles allow to specify default options, e.g., a cluster submission command. They can be used via 'snakemake --profile myprofile'. See the docs for details.
- GFAL remote provider. This allows to use GridFTP, SRM and any other protocol supported by GFAL for remote input and output files.
- Added --cluster-status flag that allows to specify a command that returns jobs status. # ## Changed
- The scheduler now tries to get rid of the largest temp files first.
- The Docker image used for kubernetes support can now be configured at the command line.
- Rate-limiting for cluster interaction has been unified.
- S3 remote provider uses boto3.
- Resource functions can now use an additional
attempt
parameter, that contains the number of times this job has already been tried. - Various minor fixes.
- Cloud computing support via Kubernetes. Snakemake workflows can be executed transparently in the cloud, while storing input and output files within the cloud storage (e.g. S3 or Google Storage). I.e., this feature does not need a shared filesystem between the cloud notes, and thereby makes the setup really simple.
- WebDAV remote file support: Snakemake can now read and write from WebDAV. Hence, it can now, e.g., interact with Nextcloud or Owncloud.
- Support for default remote providers: define a remote provider to implicitly use for all input and output files.
- Added an option to only create conda environments instead of executing the workflow. # ## Changed
- The number of files used for the metadata tracking of Snakemake (e.g., code, params, input changes) in the .snakemake directory has been reduced by a factor of 10, which should help with NFS and IO bottlenecks. This is a breaking change in the sense that Snakemake 4.x won't see the metadata of workflows executed with Snakemake 3.x. However, old metadata won't be overwritten, so that you can always go back and check things by installing an older version of Snakemake again.
- The google storage (GS) remote provider has been changed to use the google SDK. This is a breaking change, since the remote provider invocation has been simplified (see docs).
- Due to WebDAV support (which uses asyncio), Snakemake now requires Python 3.5 at least.
- Various minor bug fixes (e.g. for dynamic output files).
- Fix a followup bug in Namedlist where a single item was not returned as string.
- The --wrapper-prefix flag now also affects where the corresponding environment definition is fetched from.
- Fix bug where empty output file list was recognized as containing duplicates (issue #574).
- Fix --conda-prefix to be passed to all jobs.
- Fix cleanup issue with scripts that fail to download.
- An NCBI remote provider. By this, you can seamlessly integrate any NCBI resouce (reference genome, gene/protein sequences, ...) as input file. # ## Changed
- Snakemake now detects if automatically generated conda environments have to be recreated because the workflow has been moved to a new path.
- Remote functionality has been made more robust, in particular to avoid race conditions.
--config
parameter evaluation has been fixed for non-string types.- The Snakemake docker container is now based on the official debian image.
- Support for RMarkdown (.Rmd) in script directives.
- New option --debug-dag that prints all decisions while building the DAG of jobs. This helps to debug problems like cycles or unexpected MissingInputExceptions.
- New option --conda-prefix to specify the place where conda environments are stored.
- Benchmark files now also include the maximal RSS and VMS size of the Snakemake process and all sub processes.
- Speedup conda environment creation.

- Improved config file handling and merging.
- Output files can be referred in params functions (i.e. lambda wildcards, output: ...)
- Improved conda-environment creation.
- Jobs are cached, leading to reduced memory footprint.
- Fixed subworkflow handling in input functions.
- Workflows can now be archived to a tarball with
snakemake --archive my-workflow.tar.gz
. The archive contains all input files, source code versioned with git and all software packages that are defined via conda environments. Hence, the archive allows to fully reproduce a workflow on a different machine. Such an archive can be uploaded to Zenodo, such that your workflow is secured in a self-contained, executable way for the future. # ## Changed - Improved logging.
- Reduced memory footprint.
- Added a flag to automatically unpack the output of input functions.
- Improved handling of HTTP redirects with remote files.
- Improved exception handling with DRMAA.

- Changes in scripts show up with --list-code-changes.
- Duplicate output files now cause an error.
- Various bug fixes.
- Ability to define isolated conda software environments (YAML) per rule. Environments will be deployed by Snakemake upon workflow execution.

- --summary now displays the log files correspoding to each output file.
- Fixed hangups when using run directive and a large number of jobs
- Fixed pickling errors with anonymous rules and run directive.
- Various small bug fixes

- Use threading only in cluster jobs.
- Snakemake now warns when using relative paths starting with "./".
- The option -R now also accepts an empty list of arguments.
- Bug fix when handling benchmark directive.

- Fixed a bug in SFTP remote provider.
- Wildcards can now be constrained by rule and globally via the new
wildcard_constraints
directive (see the docs). - Subworkflows now allow to overwrite their config file via the configfile directive in the calling Snakefile.
- A method
log_fmt_shell
in the snakemake proxy object that is available in scripts and wrappers allows to obtain a formatted string to redirect logging output from STDOUT or STDERR. - Functions given to resources can now optionally contain an
additional argument
input
that refers to the input files. - Functions given to params can now optionally contain additional
arguments
input
(see above) andresources
. The latter refers to the resources. - It is now possible to let items in shell commands be automatically quoted (see the docs). This is usefull when dealing with filenames that contain whitespaces.
- Snakemake now deletes output files before job exection. Further, it touches output files after job execution. This solves various problems with slow NFS filesystems.
- A bug was fixed that caused dynamic output rules to be executed multiple times when forcing their execution with -R.
- A bug causing double uploads with remote files was fixed. Various additional bug fixes related to remote files.
- Various minor bug fixes.
- Fixed a missing import of the multiprocessing module.
- The entries in
resources
and thethreads
job attribute can now be callables that must returnint
values. - Multiple
--cluster-config
arguments can be given to the Snakemake command line. Later one override earlier ones. - In the API, multiple
cluster_config
paths can be given as a list, alternatively to the previous behaviour of expecting one string for this parameter. - When submitting cluster jobs (either through
--cluster
or--drmaa
), you can now use--max-jobs-per-second
to limit the number of jobs being submitted (also available through Snakemake API). Some cluster installations have problems with too many jobs per second. - Wildcard values are now printed upon job execution in addition to input and output files. # ## Changed
- Fixed a bug with HTTP remote providers.
- Work around missing RecursionError in Python < 3.5
- Improved conversion of numpy and pandas data structures to R scripts.
- Fixed locking of working directory.
- onstart handler, that allows to add code that shall be only executed before the actual workflow execution (not on dryrun).

- The wrapper directive can be considered stable. # ## Changed
- Allow to use rule/job parameters with braces notation in cluster config.
- Show a proper error message in case of recursion errors.
- Remove non-empty temp dirs.
- Don't set the process group of Snakemake in order to allow kill signals from parent processes to be propagated.
- Fixed various corner case bugs.
- The params directive no longer converts a list
l
implicitly to" ".join(l)
.
- New experimental wrapper directive, which allows to refer to re-usable wrapper scripts. Wrappers are provided in the Snakemake Wrapper Repository.
- David Koppstein implemented two new command line options to constrain the execution of the DAG of job to sub-DAGs (--until and --omit-from). # ## Changed
- Fixed various bugs, e.g. with shadow jobs and --latency-wait.
- The params directive now fully supports non-string parameters. Several bugs in the remote support were fixed.
- The missing remote module was added to the package.

- Simon Ye has implemented support for sandboxing jobs with shadow rules.
- Manuel Holtgrewe has fixed dynamic output files in combination with multiple wildcards.
- It is now possible to add suffixes to all shell commands with shell.suffix("mysuffix").
- Job execution has been refactored to spawn processes only when necessary, resolving several problems in combination with huge workflows consisting of thousands of jobs and reducing the memory footprint.
- In order to reflect the new collaborative development model, Snakemake has moved from my personal bitbucket account to http://snakemake.bitbucket.org.
- Willem Ligtenberg has reduced the memory usage of Snakemake.
- Per Unneberg has improved config file handling to provide a more intuitive overwrite behavior.
- Simon Ye has improved the test suite of Snakemake and helped with setting up continuous integration via Codeship.
