Date March 28, 2005 Version 1.5 Download [click here] (222 MB)	Simple, bug-fix release. Bug Fixes: Installer DB instance name bug (as fixed by Jennifer Drake). Fix for UniGene download script. New UniGene annotations (as of March, 2005).
Date December 29, 2004 Version 1.4 Download [click here] (205 MB)	This is, once again, a fairly limited release that includes numerous bug fixes. Bug Fixes: Numerous and varied. SGD annotation procedure fixed (due to recent change at SGD). UniGene annotation procedure fixed (recent change). New Features: Generic database instance naming (no longer hard coded to "oral"). GO annotations (for yeast - see schema/go/).
Date June 10, 2004 Version 1.3 Download [click here] (207 MB)	This release is fairly limited but does include some significant bug fixes and new features. Bug Fixes: Numerous and varied. New Features: GenePix 6 Support Experiment Sets (for publications, like SMD) Publications (world viewable, like SMD) Remote Host IP Recording (per session) Newest Unigene Annotations (June, 2004) Upgrades: And the usual statement about upgrades ... Once again, this release does not include an upgrade path. I will, however, provide some thoughts on how one might upgrade. As most of you generally know, LAD is a combination of the LAD tree and the LAD database instance. In general, one can upgrade versions of LAD by upgrading the LAD tree while leaving the database instance intact.  How might one do this? First - run backups. Make a backup of: The database (pg_dump oral). The archive tree (/lad/mad/archive/). The original schema file (/lad/schema/loaded_dump.sql). Now, run the installer from the new version of LAD. Do ALL steps EXCEPT step 5 (Configure LAD Database). DO NOT DO THIS STEP. You now have a new LAD code tree while retaining your old database. Now, go to /lad/mad/. Remove the new /lad/mad/archive/ directory and replace it with the backup you made. Are you done?  Not quite. There have probably been some small database changes between your old version and my new version. The only advice I can give to address the changes is to DIFF: The old original schema file (the loaded_dump.sql you backed up). The new schema file (the new loaded_dump.sql). By simply diffing these files you can determine the changes you need to make to your DB. Most of these changes you will make with the PostgreSQL "ALTER TABLE" directive.  Search for that on Google. You have now upgraded your server.
Date February 18, 2004 Version 1.2 Download [click here] (204 MB)	This release is fairly limited but does include some significant bug fixes and new features. Bug Fixes: GenePix 4 and GenePix 5 data files would not load correct values for: Regression Ratio Standard Deviation of Pixel Intensity Ratios R/G Mean (per pixel) R/G Median (per pixel) This issue has been fixed. Various fixes with UniGene file format changes. Various fixes with SGD file format changes. New Features: Tab-delimited file added to PCL, CDT, GTR as exportable product of analysis. Stored Datasets added - save PCL file to the database as a name and be able to bring it back up and straight into clustering. Once again, this release does not include an upgrade path.  I apologize for this - I am but a lone graduate student with many, many more responsibilities above and beyond LAD.  My professional experience with upgrades has shown me that they are always hugely demanding in both time and resources.
Date September 10, 2003 Version 1.1 Download [click here] (217 MB)	Small Fixes: Version 1.1 is a "small fix" release that addresses some relatively small issues exposed during the first release cycle. These include: SGD yeast annotations changed format on their FTP site - LAD code fixed in response. Install READMEs now point to website for latest install info. Install and operation of LAD now configured for PostgreSQL environments that are not running in a "trust" mode. Apache user no longer needs to be PostgreSQL user. Domain information no longer encoded in cookies during login - eliminates virtual network trouble a few users experienced. New SGD yeast annotations. New NCBI/UniGENE human and mouse annotations. There is not an "upgrade" available to 1.1 from 1.0.  We hope that because most LAD users are still in an evaluation-mode this will not be too much of a burden.
Date August 1, 2003 Version 1.0 Download [click here] (214 MB)	Initial release version. Full installation as well as SGD and UniGene annotations included. Please see [help] pages for full install instructions.
