24.10.13rc0

Upcoming

Enhancements

• dosing_automation.vial_volume replaced with liquid_volume.
• Adding a SQL table for tracking liquid_volume
• New dataset exports from the Export data page in the UI: calibrations and liquid-volumes.
• Added a "partition by unit" option to the Export data page that will create a csv per Pioreactor in the export, instead of grouping them all together.
• od calibrations can use the -f to edit calibration polynomial coefficients.
• faster UI response times when starting jobs
• faster syncing configs
• faster copying files across cluster via pio cp
• Because we are now storing liquid_volume in the database, you can add charts in the UI that track the volume over time:
  1. Add the following yaml contents to ~/.pioreactor/plugins/contrib/charts/lqiuid_volume.yaml: https://gist.github.com/CamDavidsonPilon/95eef30189101da69f706d02ef28d972
  2. In your config.ini, under ui.overview.charts, add the line liquid_volume=1.
• New API endpoints for getting the current settings of a running job:
  • Per pioreactor:
    • GET: /unit_api/jobs/settings/job_name/<job_name>
    • GET: /unit_api/jobs/settings/job_name/<job_name>/setting/<setting>
  • Across the cluster:
    • GET: /api/jobs/settings/job_name/<job_name>/setting/<setting>
    • GET: /api/jobs/settings/job_name/<job_name>/experiments/<experiment>
    • GET: /api/jobs/settings/job_name/<job_name>/experiments/<experiment>/setting/<setting>
      This is the first time a web API has allowed one to query basic Pioreactor data, ex: like the temperature of a Pioreactor: curl pio01.local/unit_api/jobs/settings/job_name/temperature_automation/setting/temperature

24.10.1

24.10.1

Important

This is an important bug release update to regressions introduced in 24.9.26. We highly recommend you be on version 24.9.19 or above before updating!

Enhancements

• amount of data shown on charts is now a function of the OD sampling rate
• allow for showing more than 16 workers in a chart.

Bug fixes

• Bug fix for "Manage all" that would start activities in all Pioreactors, whether they were in the experiment or not.
• Fix for bug when clicking a legend element it not hiding
• led_intensity (i.e. changes to LEDs) now respect whether a worker is active or not.
• Fix bug for UI crashing with "colors" error.
• If a worker is referenced in a profile, but is not part of the current experiment, the actions will not be schedualed for it.

24.9.26

24.9.26

Enhancements

• UI improvements to the experiment select box.
• Better clean up of configs when a worker is removed from the cluster.
• Improved UI loading time

Bug fixes

• only show ipv4 in UI and in avahi aliases.
• fixed experiment profile plugin checks.
• fixed experiment profile display crashing the UI when editing plugins section.

Breaking changes

• pio clear-cache renamed to pio cache clear
• pio view-cache renamed to pio cache view
• some more web API changes to endpoints that manage updates
• We no longer use monitor to start jobs. This has a slowdown when changing LEDs or starting pumps, unfortunately, but generally better performance elsewhere.
• watchdog job has been merged with monitor. watchdog no longer exists.

24.9.19

24.9.19

Important

We highly recommend you be on version 24.8.22 before updating!

Highlights

• Workers now have a webserver on them. This is one of the largest architectural changes to Pioreactor, and lays the foundation for better plugin, version, and calibration cluster management, plus future features.
  • As an example, in your browser, you can enter the url: http://some-worker.local/unit_api/jobs/running to see a list of jobs running on a worker.
  • Note: there is no interactive user interface for workers, just a web API
  • Previous actions that would involve SSHing from leader to a worker are replaced by web requests.

Bug fixes

• fixed an issue where a calibrated OD reading would be mapped to max OD signal if it was too low.
• fixed an issue where the Pioreactor UI would lock up if trying to create a new experiment with an existing name.
• fixed Hours Elapsed not updating in Overview

Breaking changes

• Lots and lots of web API changes. You'll want to review them on our docs: https://docs.pioreactor.com/developer-guide/web-ui-api
• We no longer recommend the Raspberry Pi Zero (the original Zero, not the Zero 2.) since supporting a web server + pioreactor functions is too much for a single core.
• watchdog is neutered. It used to try to "wake-up" a job, but this was flaky and causing more problems than it solved.
• removed python library dependency sh
• APIs that initiate a background task either return with the result, or return a task id that be be looked up at /unit_api/task_status/.
• pios update now updates the UI too.

Enhancements

• Better MQTT re-connection logic.
• New Manage Inventory menu on the Inventory page that can be used for bulk actions.
• pio update is a new command to update both the UI and app.
• adding more network logs to network_info.txt
• pios commands now return quicker since they post to the workers servers and don't wait around. You can view the status of the worker's by using the output from including --json.
