### We have release cylc-uiserver 1.9.0

This release includes some small updates to the GUI:

- Task “modifier icons” (e.g, held, retry, xtriggered, etc) now show on family icons as well as task icons.
- Some small bugfixes.

But this release also includes Cylc Review. Users of Cylc 7 may remember Cylc Review as a public web app for viewing workflows:

- It can display the status of tasks which are no longer visible in the GUI.
- Provides shareable URLs for job log files and more.
- It is suitable for use in trusted environments where users are permitted to view other user’s workflows.

Cylc Review has now been ported to Cylc 8 where it runs as [Jupyterhub Service](https://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/services.html). It is not enabled by default, but can be activated by administrators by adding a few lines of configuration, details in the README:

>
> A Jupyter Server extension that serves the cylc-ui web application for monitoring and controlling Cylc workflows.

More documentation will follow in due course…
