# Release numbering

The release numbering for IBEX has changed to a calendar-version scheme. This is the first release in that new scheme, release `25.02.0`, corresponding to Feb 2025. The last release on the old scheme was release `15.0.0`, released August 2024.

| [#8415](https://github.com/ISISComputingGroup/IBEX/issues/8415) | Minor | `g.load_script` will now apply argument type-checking, via `pyright`, by default. This means that some errors which would previously have been runtime errors will now be caught during the `g.load_script` call. See [Error Checking Troubleshooting](https://github.com/ISISComputingGroup/ibex_user_manual/wiki/Error-Checking-Troubleshooting) for more details. Also adds type hinting to public genie-python API functions.|
12-
| [#8588](https://github.com/ISISComputingGroup/IBEX/issues/8588) | Minor | Previously ibex created many `procServ` processes in the background that managed start/stop and logging of each IOC, including ones fro IOCs that were never used. These are now created on demand which shoudld reduce the overall ibex memory footprint |
13-
| [#8381](https://github.com/ISISComputingGroup/IBEX/issues/8381) | Minor | The `genie_python` library has been split out into a [pip-installable package](https://pypi.org/project/genie-python/). There are no direct user-facing changes to `genie_python` as a result of this change, but it is now possible to depend on `genie_python` in downstream libraries and to install the `genie_python` library into environments other than IBEX via `pip`. |

| [#8415](https://github.com/ISISComputingGroup/IBEX/issues/8415) | Major | `g.load_script` will now apply argument type-checking, via [`pyright`](https://github.com/microsoft/pyright?tab=readme-ov-file#static-type-checker-for-python), by default. This means that some errors which would previously have caused runtime exceptions will now be caught during `g.load_script`. See [Error Checking Troubleshooting](https://github.com/ISISComputingGroup/ibex_user_manual/wiki/Error-Checking-Troubleshooting#new-pyright) for more details. Also adds type hinting to public genie-python API functions.<br /><br />**In some cases this may mean that scripts which previously loaded are now rejected by `load_script`.** We would strongly encourage instruments to check key scripts early and to contact experiment controls for assistance if needed.<br /><br />Script checking can be entirely disabled by passing `check_script=False` to `load_script` if needed, but we would encourage instruments to instead fix the errors reported by the type-checker and to ask for assistance if needed. |
