What's new in sett 5.2.0? ๐Ÿš€

We are excited to announce the release of sett version 5.2.0, which brings several significant enhancements designed to improve usability and streamline the encryption and transfer of data.

For a full list of changes, please refer to the changelogs:

To download the new version, please go to the download page, and choose your distribution.

Simplified encryption and transfer GUI โœจ

The “Encrypt” and “Transfer” tabs have been combined into a single tab, making the interface cleaner and easier to navigate. You can still choose to encrypt files first, and transfer them later.

BioMedIT Portal Integration ๐Ÿ”

Users can now authenticate through the BioMedIT Portal, unlocking additional features:

  • When creating a package, you can now select eligible approved data transfer requests from a drop-down menu, rather than manually entering the DTR number.
  • For S3/HTTPS transfers, credentials are automatically retrievedโ€”no need to switch back to the Portal to fetch them.

OpenPGP key expiration date ๐Ÿ“…

It is now possible to set an expiration date when generating an OpenPGP certificate both from sett GUI and sett CLI.

Additional settings โš™๏ธ

The โ€œSettingsโ€ tab of sett GUI now displays more information, such as the location of your public and private key stores.

CLI for simultaneous decryption and transfer ๐Ÿ“ฌ

Users can now decrypt packages from an S3 object store by specifying the corresponding arguments.

Performance and other improvements ๐ŸŽ๏ธ

Additionally, this version includes several bug fixes, as well as security and performance improvements.

Support โค๏ธ

We thank you for your continued support and feedback. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at biomedit@sib.swiss.
