Published: July 2025

Last Update: July 2025

Latest Release: v6.3.2

These Release Notes describe the key changes made to software components for Clarity LIMS v6.3.2. The Clarity LIMS v6.3.2 patch release supersedes v6.3.1. It is intended for customers on or migrating to Clarity LIMS v6.3.1.

Note: All customers on Clarity LIMS v6.2.1, v6.3.0 and v6.3.1 are strongly recommended to upgrade their instance(s) to Clarity LIMS v6.3.2.

This release resolves customer-reported issues related to the following functions:

• Well plates on Placement screen rendering too big in Clarity v6.3.0 and v6.3.1.

• Valid SSH usernames are rejected when trying to create SSH access.

New Features

There are no new features added with this release.

Updates

• The Placement UI has been improved to proportionally display both container and Sample list table on screen. Wells for container with 384-well format are now displayed in full.

• PostgreSQL has been updated from v15.7 to v15.13.

Bug and Security Vulnerability Fixes

• Fix a bug where SSH request made through System Settings, do not allow capital letter case and number as starting character of the provided username.

• Fix a bug where localhost_access_logs files are not being deleted, causing access logs to be preserved indefinitely on Clarity v6.3.1.

• Fix a bug where the position of tooltips for esignature on Record Details screen has shifted away from the green quill icon following real estate expansion in Clarity v6.3.0.

• Fix a bug where deleted label group still appear on ice-bucket label group dropdown option on Queue screen.

• Fixed security vulnerabilities.

Known Issues

• In Add Label screen, the label will starts at the well position at which user drops in when transferring the equivalent number of labels to samples in the output container at the first instance.

• If the client and server are in different time zones, there can be additional or missing search results when using Date Received of a sample as one of the search criteria in Advanced Search.

• Multiple accounts that share an email address only receive a reset password email for one of the accounts when a reset password request is made using Email information.

• The step milestone screen will becomes unresponsive when the request header/URL size is larger than the defaults capacity limit configured in either Apache HTTPD or Tomcat application server.

• If there are changes made to the existing LDAP integration settings, restarting of Tomcat service will be required to provide the user access.

• Clarity page will need to be refresh after applying browser zoom in/out for proper display. This is mainly due to a limitation on ExtJS in which, the width that components take are only set when the page is refreshed.

• If Complete and Repeat routing action is added to the sample before the execution of the Step Automation upon step exit, the sample is considered Completed and Repeated. The message "Repeated step and advanced" appears in the Next Step even though the step had failed at the EPP upon the step exit. This results in an incorrect description of the next step.

• Export and import of Project automations are not currently supported by Config Slicer tool.

• When searching for existing containers under Container Options in Ice Bucket milestone, the search result only retrieves the first 20 containers that match the search field and excludes those without available well slots. Relevant results that are beyond the first 20 containers are not returned.

Placement issue - when user does not place the samples starting from the first available well and the samples to-be-placed is more than the remaining available wells, the excess samples overflow to the remaining wells before the user selected well if those wells are available.

Additional Notes
