05 Nov 2024
- Migrating the processor from Garrawarla to Setonix.
14 Aug 2024
- TAP service is now accessible via https (http will still work though). It is recommended to use https://vo.mwatelescope.org/mwa_asvo/tap instead of http as sometime in the future the http endpoint will be deprecated.

- Allow scratch delivery to deliver as a tar file. User can choose the delivery format as tar when delivery is selected as scratch.
- Fixed bug where birli manifest hash verification was failing.
- Allow MWAX_VCS jobs to specify a range of coarse channels. User can select a range of channels they want to download instead of all the channels.
- (Giant-squid): Submitting jobs should be able to continue after the failure of a single job. When multiple jobs are submitted through Giant-squid, a failure in a single job caused it to quit, which is now fixed. Giant-squid now will proceed to the next job if a job fails.
2 Jul 2024
- Fix SQL bug in db.py
- Jobs page data fetching logic has been updated
- Fixed blank login page
- Migrating Dev environment onto Setonix(on going)
14 May 2024
- Admin setting: This is an admin feature enables the admin to schedule maintenance , post maintenance message , partially outage some of the jobs. for example, blocking only the jobs that delivers to acacia when acacia is down. This will allow us to keep working parts of the system operational when only one Pawsey component is offline or not working.
- Added ORCID field to the registration and my profile, this is an optional field. Existing users can go to their profile and update their ORCID. We capture ORCIDs from users to better understand how MWA data is used by researchers.
- Allow users to unsubscribe from email status updates from MWA ASVO team. The user can go to their profile and uncheck the option to opt out. We will only send status emails when there is a major issue or disruption to users.
- Allow resubmission / retry of completed or errored or cancelled jobs.
- Retry feature: For failed or cancelled voltage jobs, "retry" allows a partially completed voltage job to be resumed from where it left off. (via web front end only).
- Resubmit: All type of jobs that are failed or cancelled or completed can be resubmitted using the same parameters.
- Use -ar, --allow-resubmit to resubmit the jobs through the manta-ray-client CLI
- Use -r, --allow-resubmit to resubmit the jobs through the giant-squid CLI
- giant-squid CLI now has a new download command line argument
--download-dir. This allows the user to specify which directory to download data to. If omitted, it will default to the current working directory ('.') which was the behaviour prior to this release. - Cosmetic changes: Date formatting; redirect to home after password reset; error message handling; removed some deprecated code; removed a column an internal table data_files that was no longer needed.
- Distinguish between different job types in SLURM queue.
- Visibility Download jobs are named
{MWA ASVO jobid}vis - Voltage Download jobs are named
{MWA ASVO jobid}volt - Conversion jobs have several steps:
- Download data step jobs are named
{MWA ASVO jobid}convdload - Birli step jobs are named
{MWA ASVO jobid}convbirli - Delivery of data step jobs are named
{MWA ASVO jobid}convdelivery - Cleanup/Error step jobs are named
{MWA ASVO jobid}converror
