What's Changed
We have a fairly big update for you this week! The top three highlights are: updated Nextflow version, new "Hello nf-core" mini-course, and transcripts now available for the Hello Nextflow video.
Updated Nextflow version
We've bumped the version of Nextflow that is loaded by default in the training environment to the latest stable version (25.04.3). This fixes an issue that affected using conda environments. There may be some minor (mostly cosmetic) changes in the outputs of exercises, but we don't expect anything to break. If you notice something broken please open an issue to let us know.
New beginner course: Hello nf-core
There's a big jump between plain Nextflow and how nf-core pipelines are engineered. We're introducing a new Hello nf-core mini-course that picks up from the end of Hello Nextflow and shows 1) how to run nf-core pipelines and 2) how to turn a plain Nextflow pipeline into an nf-core-style one.
We have plans to expand this course further in the coming months.
Transcripts for Hello Nextflow videos
The Hello Nextflow videos already had subtitles for accessibility; now we've added the full transcripts, both as web pages on the portal and as text files in the code repository.
Header numbering validation
We've had issues with incorrect header numbers, so Phil @ewels added a validation script that checks the numbering of headers. If you contribute content changes to the repository and you have errors in the header numbers, this will show up as failing tests on your branch. See the documentation about the new validation to understand how it works; if you have trouble fixing these, don't hesitate to reach out and we will help you.
