  • Validation of the project name length is provided during project upload.

  • The list of Copy from elements in Select valid annotations dialog is shortened to use bio entity types.

  • The version of the project is limited to 20 characters.

  • Export to CellDesigner could misalign reaction lines that were imported from the formats which did not require the reaction line to be attached to the species.

  • There was a problem with uploading data overlays which included TYPE in header.

  • Work on Firefox private window mode could cause logout or raised an error when opening new tab with MINERVA.

  • Fetching list of miRnas resulted sometimes in “Internal Server Error”.

  • Edit project dialog verifies organism id (against Taxonomy id).
