Taverna Workbench 2 is a redesign of the Taverna Workbench 1.7.x series from the ground up. It has a greater emphasis on scalability to enable the manipulation of larger and more diverse data.
In addition to the improvements to the engine, Taverna Workbench 2 provides more support for workflow design with a graphical workflow editor for direct manipulation of the workflow diagram, context-specific views over Web services and other resources, and standard editing facilities such as copy/paste and undo/redo.
For a list of our plans on adding new features to Taverna, please see the Taverna Roadmap.
