New Functionality and Changes Introduced with Xpress Workbench 3.10

This section describes the new features and changes introduced with Xpress Workbench 3.10.

New in Xpress Workbench 3.10

  • DMP: When logged into an Insight server, Workbench will compile Mosel using the version of mminsight suitable for that server (Insight v4 or v5).
    • If you switch to an Insight server with a different version (e.g. upgrading from v4 to v5), then you may have to do a Full Publish the first time, in order to rebuild against the correct mminsight.
  • DMP: Support for Mosel apps to optionally configure dependencies via Conda, Pip, and Renv
    • The preconfigured R environment in previous versions of Workbench has been removed in favour of users specifying their own choice of R and other libraries via this mechanism.
    • As with Python apps, users can configure via files in their model_resources folder: environment.yml for Conda, requirements.txt for Pip, and now also DESCRIPTION for Renv.
    • Desktop users still have to configure their environment outside of Workbench.
  • DMP: Switching for Path-Based Routing (from Host-Based)
    • This means multiple components will now have the same URL domain name, but different paths.
    • This change means that the usual process of upgrading from earlier versions is not supported. Instead, users will need to create new component and navigate to its Backup Archive page to restore the project backups from the original component.
  • Desktop: updated to Node.js v18.
    • File upload limit raised from 100MB to 300MB to come into line with Xpress Insight.
    • Python apps can now be debugged locally on Workbench, they do not have to be published to Insight first.
    • You do not need to manually include the debugpy library in your Conda/Pip settings.

Fixes in 3.10

  • Fixed: Intermittent issue where the normal conclusion of a scenario debug would result in the scenario being canceled.
