This release of the CWL Viewer changes the backend to use cwltool reference implementation with parsing. Deployment now also requires Jena Fuseki as the RDF store.

To update from v1.0 you will need to flush the database with docker-compose rm -v

This work behind this release was done by Mark Robinson, with support from BioExcel, funded by the European Union Horizon 2020 program under grant agreement 675728.
