A new interface and new terms of use have been released. Furthermore, the ViSH servers have been moved to the supercomputing center of CeSViMa (Centro de Supercomputación y Visualización de Madrid). This will allow to provide a better service to all ViSH users.

We have released a new enhancement that improves the tagging of the ViSH resources and the catalogue service as well.
Now its possible to search/filter by tags in a non-case-sensitive way and taking into account internationalization.
The catalogue service of ViSH can work now using the enhanced ‘matchtag’ mode.
The wiki has been updated with instructions to set up the catalogue to work in this mode: https://github.com/ging/vish/wiki/Setting-up-a-ViSH-instance:-The-application_config.yml-file .
