# NGS Extensions v5.25.0

Last Updated: November 2024

Release Date: June 2024

Document Version: 2

These release notes detail the key changes to software components for the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Extensions Package v5.25.0.

## Compatibility

Refer to [Compatibility](/clarity-lims/instruments-and-integrations/compatibility.md#ngs-extension) under Instruments & Integrations.

## New Features

Added the *download\_attachments* script. This script copies one or more result files attached in a step to a user-specified directory within Clarity LIMS. For example, this script can copy a generated sample sheet to a mounted directory so that the user can access it directly from the instrument control software.

## Defects Fixed

None

## Known Issues

An error occurs when reformatting the date using the Lab Logic Toolkit with the Date utility class. The date reformatting can be done with *java.time* instead.
