Released May 20, 2019

Release Notes - GenePattern - Version 3.9.11rc-4+b216

The public GenePattern server hosted by the GenePattern team was officially migrated to the Amazon cloud: https://cloud.genepattern.org on January 1, 2019. To support this migration, GenePattern now requires that all modules be run in a Docker container.
More information about our use of Docker and the administration of GenePattern in the cloud can be found in our wiki on GitHub.

Please note that GenePattern releases are now hosted on GitHub along with our source code.
