# Internal Release 0.13.0
# Internal Release 0.14.0

## New Stuff In This Release

- Multiple updates to Flex motion control parameters from hardware testing for both gantry and plunger speeds and acceleration
- Pipette default flowrates are higher
- The LED status bar animates during firmware updates
- Tip presence detection is now integrated; you should get errors after failing to pick up or drop a tip
- Many (many) visual and workflow fixes and improvements from design QA for the ODD
- ODD should now display an error screen instead of a white screen
- You can load labware to an OFF_DECK location
- You can now use calibrate gripper in the reset settings options
- There are consistent error codes in protocol status inforation now
- The ODD should prompt you to update your pipettes when you attach one that needs it (!)
- The 96 shouldn't fall down when you attach it now (!)
- More little stall detection fixes
- The ODD will now display a spinner until the robot server has started
- Homing now goes to the limit switch then backs off until the limit switch is released
- Support for PVT (v3.5) pipettes
- Return tip heights and some other pipette behaviors are now properly executed based on the kind of tip being used
- Release Flex robot software builds are now cryptographically signed. If you run a release build, you can only install other properly signed release builds. Note that if the robot was previously on a non-release build this won't latch; remove the update server config file at ``/var/lib/otupdate/config.json`` to go back to signed builds only.
- Error handling has been overhauled; all errors now display with an error code for easier reporting. Many of those error codes are the 4000 catchall still but this will improve over time.
- Further updates to Flex motion control parameters from hardware testing for both gantry and plunger speeds and acceleration
- Pipette overpressure detection is now integrated.
- All instrument flows should now show errors if they occur instead of skipping a step
- Fixes to several incorrect status displays in ODD (i.e. protocols skipping the full-color outcome splash)
- Robot can now handle json protocol v7
- Support for PVT (v1.1) grippers
- Update progress should get displayed after restart for firmware updates
- Removed `use_pick_up_location_lpc_offset` and `use_drop_location_lpc_offset` from `protocol_context.move_labware` arguments. So they should be removed from any protocols that used them. This change also requires resetting the protocol run database on the robot.

## Big Things That Don't Work Yet So Don't Report Bugs About Them

### ODD
- It can take a while for the robot to start after installing an update (it's the firmware updates happening on boot). Allow 10 minutes after an update that has a firmware change.

### Robot Control
- Pipette pressure sensing both for liquid-level sensing purposes and for clog-detection purposes
- Pipette pressure sensing for liquid-level sensing purposes
- Labware pick up failure with gripper
- E-stop integrated handling especially with modules
