Did you see, #MultiQC v1.28 went out a few days ago!

There are a handful of release highlights for this version, but perhaps the most exciting is that .gif, .webp and .tiff files are now supported for #CustomContent - you can finally put your favourite gifs into reports! Just name them *_mqc.gif

Another quality of life improvement is that we now have a #JSONschema via @pydantic for #MultiQC configuration files 🎉

This has been added to schemastore.org so that config files in #VSCode & other IDEs automatically get integrated error checking as you type, see https://docs.seqera.io/multiqc/getting_started/config#json-schema-validation
