Release 1.0 of Metis is now available! This new version features several bugs fixes and a completely re-designed execution engine.

We will be providing more tool documentation soon, plus we will update the tutorial to show off the capabilities of the new execution engine.

A new new preview release of Metis is now available. This release adds a new feature to the workflow editor that makes it easier to rearrange the nodes in a workflow. In particular, nodes can now be moved "up" and "down". We still need to add copy and paste functionality and we need to consider adding "move left" and "move right" functionality. If we add these features, then the workflow editor will have the functionality of an outliner!
