News & releases

A running log of platform-level updates. Component-specific release notes live alongside each repository’s CHANGELOG.md.

2026-05-11 — Platform site relaunch

The platform site has been rebuilt from the ground up as the umbrella for MetaGEAR’s three components — MetaGEAR Workflows, MetaGEAR Tools (CLI), and MetaGEAR Explorer — replacing the previous CLI-focused documentation site. Component-level technical references now live next to their code in each component repository.

• The CLI wrapper that used to live in this repository has moved to schirmer-lab/metagear-tools.
• Detailed pipeline documentation lives in schirmer-lab/metagear-pipeline.
• The Explorer portal continues to be available at metagear-explorer.schirmerlab.de as a hosted service.
• The previous Jekyll documentation is preserved in the legacy-docs/ directory of this repository for reference.
