51 Release Notes
Changes and Warnings
The configuration format for call cache blacklisting has been updated, please see the call caching documentation for details.
Bug fixes
- Fixed a bug where the
size(...)function did not work correctly on files
from a shared filesystem ifsize(...)was called in the input section on a
relative path.
- Fixed a bug where the
use_relative_output_pathsoption would not preserve intermediate folders.
New functionality
Call caching blacklisting improvements
Cromwell previously supported blacklisting GCS buckets containing cache hits which could not be copied for permissions
reasons. Cromwell now adds support for blacklisting individual cache hits which could not be copied for any reason,
as well as grouping blacklist caches according to a workflow option key. More information available in the
call caching documentation.
new xxh64 and fingerprint strategies for call caching
Existing call cache strategies path and path+modtime don't work when using docker on shared filesystems
(SFS backend, i.e. not in cloud storage). The file (md5sum) strategy works, but uses a lot of resources.
Two faster strategies have been added for this use case: xxh64 and
fingerprint. xxh64 is a lightweight hashing algorithm, fingerprint is a strategy designed to be very
lightweight. Read more about it in the call caching documentation.
