Apr 1, 2025April 2025 monthly summary for Opentrons/opentrons: Delivered performance, reliability, and observability improvements across robot-server and API layers. Key features include batching labwareOffsets updates via POST /labwareOffsets to scale updates, exposing server timing metrics in HTTP responses for better monitoring, and populating locationSequence for older runs to speed up filtering of deleted runs. Additional enhancements reduced IO blocking (journald logging) to improve runtime performance and included labware schema 3 extents and a dummy labware for testing, plus unsafe commands documentation refinements. Critical bug fixes addressed non-empty clientData keys validation, API hang prevention on pickUpTip planning errors, and Thermocycler-related labware offsets migration, among others. These changes collectively yield higher throughput, improved reliability under load, and a smoother developer experience.

Mar 1, 2025In March 2025, Opentrons delivered reliability and capability improvements around labware offsets, labware data modeling, and system stability. Key work included multi-filtered labwareOffsets with default storage/retrieval across robot-server and API client, a shift to real-time offset change notifications, and data-model/schema upgrades that enable advanced labware features while preserving compatibility with schema 2. These changes were complemented by targeted bug fixes (geometry synchronization, cornerOffset handling) and sustained maintenance and tests that improved code quality, test coverage, and migration robustness. The combined outcomes reduce risk, accelerate calibration workflows, and strengthen the platform for future feature work across the API, robot-server, and client layers.
