I’ve released an updated beta of the microscope software. I’m going to try to stick to conventions, and stop adding new features between now and v2.10.0! I suspect the beta will become the release, unless anybody spots glaring problems - the only issue so far is that readthedocs is a bit out of date, which I’ll fix. To get the latest version, open a console on your microscope (or SSH in) and run: ```bash sudo ofm update sudo ofm upgrade --pre ``` ## New features - Added support for ImJoy plugins ([!120](https://gitlab.com/openflexure/openflexure-microscope-server/-/merge_requests/120)) This is a pretty massive change, and opens a lot of exciting opportunities, like **integrated ImageJ** among other things. Many thanks to Wei and Bene for making this happen! - Added a setting to disable the gallery ([!120](https://gitlab.com/openflexure/openflexure-microscope-server/-/merge_requests/120)) - Scan parameters are now remembered in the “capture” pane ([!132](https://gitlab.com/openflexure/openflexure-microscope-server/-/merge_requests/132)) @dgrosen I hope this is helpful, and sorry it took me so long! - The Capture pane now contains controls for the smart stack plugin, if installed (([!134](https://gitlab.com/openflexure/openflexure-microscope-server/-/merge_requests/134))) (more on that when the paper’s available) ## Developer changes - CI now fails if `Pipfile.lock` is out of date ([!131](https://gitlab.com/openflexure/openflexure-microscope-server/-/merge_requests/131)) - The Thing Description and OpenAPI documentation are now valid, and much improved ([!133](https://gitlab.com/openflexure/openflexure-microscope-server/-/merge_requests/133)) - Pytest XML reports are now recorded in the CI pipeline ([!135](https://gitlab.com/openflexure/openflexure-microscope-server/-/merge_requests/135)) - The application is now packaged for every commit on `master` ([!136](https://gitlab.com/openflexure/openflexure-microscope-server/-/merge_requests/136)) ---

Please do post here if you try it out and it works (or it doesn’t). Once a few people other than me have used it, I’ll mark this as v2.10.0! ---

Is it not bundled in the recent update? Do we need to perform some additional process before we can utilize this feature? ---

Thanks for testing that out. The smart stack code is a plug-in that is not yet ready to be part of the main distribution - we’ll share instructions on how to install it soon. I am surprised that you see the controls for it, given that I’m guessing you don’t have the extension installed. That is a bug I should fix - if you could raise an issue in the OpenFlexure-microscope-server repository on gitlab that would be very helpful. The odd behaviour when the task is running is a bug I fixed already but am awaiting merge approval for - it’s a fault in the error handling code. I am hoping you only see this when you try to run a smart stack?
