KOS Studio v1.0

KOS Studio Release Notes are official documents published with each new version of the KOS Studio. They provide a clear summary of all changes delivered in a specific release.

Release Notes are essential for anyone working with the KOS ecosystem—developers, integrators, partners, and business stakeholders—because they help users quickly understand:

  • New Features: Highlights of new capabilities or tools added to the platform.
  • Enhancements: Enhancements to existing features, performance optimizations, or user experience updates.
  • Resolved Issues: Issues resolved from previous versions, helping teams track reliability improvements.
  • Breaking Changes: Changes that may affect backward compatibility or require adjustments to existing projects.
  • Known Issues: Current limitations or defects that users should be aware of, often with workarounds or planned fixes.

For developers and technical teams, KOS Studio Release Notes are an essential guide for planning upgrades, testing new features, and ensuring ongoing compatibility in projects built on the KOS smart dispense operating system.

KOS Studio – v1.0.58

August 28, 2023

New Features

1. Release Options
  • Users can now customize the features and capabilities of an image.
  • In future releases it will be possible to add or remove capabilities or features to change the release behaviour or limit the size of the downloaded image. For example, it will be possible to optionally add or remove the KOS Developer Tools layer when configuring an image, which could significantly reduce the time required to download and install images.
2. File Picker
  • The built-in file picker (used when selecting local artifacts) has enhanced navigation and improved usability.
3. Connection Manager
  • Improved connection and state logic that more accurately reflects an image’s current running status.
  • Better support during unexpected start up conditions.
4. Tooling Support
  • The list of available tools for a running image now only includes those relevant to the image.
  • For images running the Temporary Freestyle App (TFA), the ingredient assignment tool now automatically detects TFA and only interacts with the TFA endpoints.
  • Under the hood support for future tools now supports custom or per-image tooling; used in future releases.

Resolved Issues

  • Improved error messages.
  • General updates and usability enhancements.
