@github-actions github-actions released this 04 Jan 00:02

Includes changes from 6.0.1, which was an unreleased version.

Improvements

  • The standalone installation archives used by the standalone installer will now work on even older Linux distributions:

    distro now was
    Ubuntu 14.04 18.04
    Debian 8 10
    RHEL/CentOS 7 8
    Fedora 19 28
    OpenSUSE 12.3 15.3

    If you've previously encountered errors like the following:

    /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.27' not found (required by […]/.nextstrain/cli-standalone/nextstrain)
    

    when using the standalone installer (or standalone archives directly), i.e.:

    curl -fsSL --proto '=https' https://nextstrain.org/cli/installer/linux | bash
    

    then this change should resolve that error! The new minimum required glibc version is 2.17 (was 2.27 previously). (#243)

Bug fixes

  • The automatic opening of a browser tab (or window) by nextstrain view—a feature introduced in the last release (6.0.0)—now also works for standalone installations. (#244)

  • A new deprecation warning from the cryptography module (version 39) when running on Python 3.6 is now suppressed as it's just noise to an end user. This probably moves us closer to dropping 3.6 support ourselves, but it's not so onerous yet. (#246)
