 If you upload a protocol that specifies a higher API level than the maximum supported, your robot won't be able to analyze or run your protocol. You can increase the maximum supported version by updating your robot software and Opentrons App.

 Changes in API Versions
 =======================
 
+Version 2.24
+-------------
+- Adds the ability to perform liquid handling actions using :ref:`liquid classes <liquid-classes>`.
+
+  - :py:meth:`.ProtocolContext.get_liquid_class` accesses :ref:`Opentrons-verified liquid class definitions <liquid-class-definitions>` for aqueous, volatile, and viscous liquids.
+  - :py:meth:`.ProtocolContext.define_liquid_class` lets you create your own liquid classes from verified classes or from scratch.
+  - New :py:class:`.InstrumentContext` methods — :py:meth:`.transfer_with_liquid_class`, :py:meth:`.distribute_with_liquid_class`, and :py:meth:`.consolidate_with_liquid_class` — move liquids according to their properties.
+- :py:meth:`.air_gap`, :py:meth:`.blow_out`, :py:meth:`.dispense`, :py:meth:`.mix`, and :py:meth:`.touch_tip` have new parameters for advanced settings that are also available in Protocol Designer.
+
 Version 2.23
 -------------
 - Wells now have a :py:meth:`~.Well.meniscus` location that corresponds to the top of the liquid, either as set in the protocol or measured by probing with a pipette tip. See :ref:`well-meniscus`.
