[ANN] Nextflow 0.17.0

[Paolo Di Tommaso]

Hi, 

I've just uploaded a Nextflow version 0.17.0. 

The main changes in this release is the ability to define multiple channels in the `into` output clause.  For example: 

process foo {

  output: 

  file 'your-file' into A, B, C 

  '''

  your-script

  '''

}   

This creates three output channels having the name "A", "B" and "C" emitting the "your-file" file produced by the process.  

In this way it is easier to forward the process' output to different processes, without having to repeat the same declaration multiple times or use a separate `into` operator (credits to Marc Logghe for suggesting this enhancement). 

You can read about other enhancements and issues fixed at the following link: 

https://github.com/nextflow-io/nextflow/releases/tag/v0.17.0

You can upgrade nextflow with the command:

nextflow self-upgrade 

Or install it entering the following command in your shell terminal: 

curl -fsSL get.nextflow.io | bash 

  

A special thanks to Jessica Kirkpatrick, Chris Fields, Emilio Palumbo and Sascha Steinbiss for their contributions. 

Cheers,
Paolo
