2025.3 provides rapid Inventory registration for genebanks just starting with GGCE. We added a new tool to add trait observations to individual inventories, the possibility to assign DOIs to physical inventories, and upgraded the In vitro section.
It removes support for API v1, enhances the integration with GLIS DOI registry with progenitor DOIs and the assignment of DOIs to individual inventories, improves integration with Genesys for uploading images, and introduces a new mechanism that determines the backup sites of accessions based on actual inventory data, and also includes the enhancements developed in the palmira branch.
Update: The latest patch release is 2025.3.3.
2025.2 comes with many improvements and new features, focusing primarily on securing access to data at different sites, allows using ZPL and PDF label templates, adds an image browser and uploading of images to Genesys, support for custom menu items on the main page, unit conversion between seed/gram/count in distribution, and a Harvest tool which is a key part of seed multiplication process in genebanks.
The updated MSSQL driver requires the trustServerCertificate=true option. Please update DB_URL in your ggce.yml file. Example:
DB_URL=jdbc:sqlserver://sqlexpress;DatabaseName=ggce-test;trustServerCertificate=true

2025.0 wraps up the development from 2024. It brings improved BrAPI 2.1 compatibility, enhanced handling of the results of the last seed viability test, integration with https://validator.genesys-pgr.org to validate coordinates, and segregating accessions into distinct collections. There are also many smaller improvements and bug fixes.
2024.5 adds collecting missions and a map of collecting sites to the system, along with improvements to workflows: steps can now be configured to start with a delay and triggered conditionally.
2024.4 introduces support for customizable workflows, email alerts, canceling actions and editing trait data. We also added the calculation of tolerance in viability testing.
GGCE 2024.3 introduces new tools! Now, you can browse and search trait data in wide format, with traits organized into columns. Additionally, Email notifications are now available for actions related to Accession, Inventory, and Order Requests, as well as for the latest KPI results. These actions can be assigned to individual users or groups of users.
