# Release Notes 2026
Pathogenwatch release notes for 2026
## v92
*2nd October*
#### Updated
* [Pangolin](https://cgps.gitbook.io/pangolin/) has been updated to version 4.4.0, data version 1.40. All SARS-CoV-2 genomes have been updated to the latest assignments.
* The *S. pneumoniae* PBP allele types are now shown in their own panel, along with the resulting resistance profile, in the Collection view. The antibiogram is also merged into the main "Antibiotics" panel.
* The FASTQ file size limit has been raised to 1.5GiB.
* A bug in the assembly pipeline has been fixed, which caused a small number of sporadic failures where the pipeline didn't complete and produce a FASTA.
## v91
*18th September*
#### New
* An icon indicating whether a project is public (globe symbol) or private (lock symbol) has been added to the "Project" column of the [Genomes Browser](/pathogenwatch/how-to-use-pathogenwatch/browsing-and-viewing-genomes.md).
* The "Project" column can also now be sorted alphabetically.
#### Updated
* The *Streptococcus pneumoniae* SPN PBP-based resistance predictor has been updated to the latest algorithm and database (11th Sept 2026).
* The *Acinetobacter baumanii* [Kaptive](/pathogenwatch/technical-descriptions-of-analysis-tools/serotyping/kaptive.md) assignments have been updated to Kaptive v3.3.2, library v3.3.0.
## v90
*4th September*
#### New
* Genomes can now be moved between projects or into a new project by selecting them in the project view and clicking the button that appears.
* The project a genome belongs to (e.g. "Always On") is now shown in the Metadata section of its Genome Report.
#### Fixed
* [Kaptive's](/pathogenwatch/technical-descriptions-of-analysis-tools/serotyping/kaptive.md) "Predicted O-types" are now displayed in the [Genome Report](/pathogenwatch/how-to-use-pathogenwatch/browsing-and-viewing-genomes/genome-reports.md).
* [Kaptive](/pathogenwatch/technical-descriptions-of-analysis-tools/serotyping/kaptive.md) [CSV downloads](/pathogenwatch/how-to-use-pathogenwatch/downloading-data.md) now have the columns in the correct order.
* Tree building with duplicate genomes in now works as expected.
## v89
*7th August*
#### Updated
* [NG-STAR](/pathogenwatch/technical-descriptions-of-analysis-tools/lineage-and-genotyping/ng-star.md) has been updated for all [*Neisseria gonorrhoeae*](https://pathogen.watch/genomes/485-neisseria-gonorrhoeae/list) genomes. The allele database was updated on 29th July 2026.
* The [Global Pneumococcal Sequencing Program](https://www.pneumogen.net/gps/) [*Streptococcus pneumoniae*](https://pathogen.watch/genomes/1313-streptococcus-pneumoniae/list) [PopPUNK clusters](/pathogenwatch/technical-descriptions-of-analysis-tools/lineage-and-genotyping/poppunk.md) have been updated to version 11.
#### Fixed
* The website gzip decompressor now supports modern multi-part gzip files.
* The date field sorts correctly in the Genomes browser.
## v88
*29th July*
#### Fixed
* Clustering has been re-enabled for *Salmonella* Typhi.
#### New
* HierCC annotations from [Enterobase](https://enterobase.warwick.ac.uk/) are now available for *Salmonella* Typhi.
## v87
*15th July*
#### Updated
* "Folders" (also previously referred to as data sources in some contexts) have been renamed to "Projects" and references to them made consistent. This change is intended to better clarify the purpose of projects. We will soon be bringing more changes to improve their usability, including moving genomes between project.
## v86
*13th July*
#### Updated
* Klebsiella LIN code assignments have been updated to the 7th July 2026.
## v85
*8th July*
#### New
* Added [Kaptive](/pathogenwatch/technical-descriptions-of-analysis-tools/serotyping/kaptive.md) serotype assignments for the [*Klebsiella oxytoca* species complex](https://github.com/klebgenomics/KoSC-surface-antigen-loci): [*K. oxytoca*](https://pathogen.watch/genomes/571-klebsiella-oxytoca), [*K. huaxensis*](https://pathogen.watch/genomes/2153354-klebsiella-huaxiensis/list), [*K. spallenzi*](http://pathogen.watch/genomes/2587528-klebsiella-spallanzanii/list), [*K. michigansis*](https://pathogen.watch/genomes/1134687-klebsiella-michiganensis/list), and [*K. pasteurii*](https://pathogen.watch/genomes/2587529-klebsiella-pasteurii/list).
* The read QC report from the assembly pipeline is now displayed in genome reports.
#### Updated
* Kaptive serotype assignments for the *K. pneumoniae* species complex and *Acinentobacter baumanii*.
### Fixed
* In the cluster view, selecting points on the map now correctly selects the corresponding genomes in the clusters.
* Various analysis result download issues.
## v84
*1st July*
#### New
* *Stenotrophomonas maltophilia* has been added to the supported organisms list.
* We've added the [Geno7PET tool](/pathogenwatch/technical-descriptions-of-analysis-tools/lineage-and-genotyping/geno7pet.md) for classifying sublineages of 7PET *V. cholerae* genomes.
#### Updated
* All MLST schemes, along with the Listeria virulence scheme have been updated.
* Maximum contig threshold for FASTAs raised to 1500.
#### Fixed
* Missing date, location and accession fields have been added back into the metadata downloads.
## v23.5.2
*7th January*
#### **Fixed**
* The Kleborate virulence score descriptions in the Genome Reports has been updated to match the Kleborate v3 descriptions.
* Pasteur MLST schemes now link to the Pasteur overview page instead of the Klebsiella schemes specifically.
