-- Updating the default value for `igenomes_base` to `s3://sage-igenomes`
+This global configuration includes the following tweaks:
-- Increasing the default time limits because we run pipelines on AWS

-- Enabling retries by default when exit codes relate to insufficient memory
+- Update the default value for `igenomes_base` to `s3://sage-igenomes`
+- Increase the default time limits because we run pipelines on AWS
+- Enable retries by default when exit codes relate to insufficient memory
 - Allow pending jobs to finish if the number of retries are exhausted
-- Slowing the increase in the number of allocated CPU cores on retries
+- Slow the increase in the number of allocated CPU cores on retries
+- Define the `check_max()` function, which is missing in Sarek v2
