# Release Notes

Last Updated: December 2024

Release Date: July 2024

Document Version: 3

These release notes describe the key changes to software components for the Clarity LIMS NovaSeq X Series Integration Package v1.2.1.

## Prerequisites

* BaseSpace Sequence Hub account that has the Enterprise or Professional subscription

## Compatibility

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

## Defects Fixed

* Fixed the issue of unable to generate sample sheet and planned run when any sample in the pools has been assigned QC flag prior to entering the Load to Library Tube Strip step.

## Known Limitations

1. The analysis step tracks only the first run, but not subsequent queued runs.
2. The Assign Analysis Configuration Template step expects the input samples to be unpooled libraries.

## Known Issues

1. On the Make Bulk Pool step, the log displays a warning when the Calculate Volume automation is triggered and at least one pool consists of multiple inputs. This issue is caused by the output custom field being reset multiple times at the end of the automation. This issue does not affect the Calculate Volume automation functionality.
2. For BCL Convert only analysis, the high level analysis summary file is not available. User will need to manually complete the AUTOMATED - Analysis Run step upon analysis completed.
