- Audit logging of sample and data additions and deletions
- Ability to restrict access to samples based on sample characteristics
- Support for automatic refresh of experiments from caIntegrator by providing information about sample and data changes.
- Ability to configure single sign-on between caArray and caIntegrator.
- Technical enhancements
- Improved file storage: Uploaded files are now stored on the file system instead of in the database.
- A plugin architecture allowing the user community to develop and deploy parsers for new data types easily.
- Major technology upgrades: Jboss 5.1, Java 6, caGrid v1.5, Struts 2.3.1.5, and NCI build-and-deploy infrastructure (NCI Nexus repository, AntHill Pro 3, BDALite).

Highlights of caArray 2.4.0 released on 9/21/2010
- This release represents a feature release of the caArray 2 software. Highlights of caArray 2.4.0 are:
- Agilent raw TXT for aCGH, expression and miRNA assays
- Agilent GEML/XML array designs
- Nimblegen pair Report TXT (raw and normalized)
- Nimblegen NDF array designs
- Illumina Sample Probe Profile TXT
- Illumina genotyping processed data matrix TXT
