Release notes

Taverna 2 Server Release 1

This is the alpha release of the new Taverna Server using the Taverna 2.2 codebase (code-named “Taverna 2 Server Release 1″). It is missing lots of stuff that will be there once there is a final release, so please be a bit gentle with it. However we welcome feedback on both the things that are there and the things that are not.

The Server can currently be installed on Linux and MAC OS.

See a complete list of specific issues addressed in this release.
