# v6
|
|
|
|
* The calculation for `encoder scaling factor` has changed in v6.0.1 to `10000 * (motor resolution * microsteps) / encoder resolution`. If you are using encoders and have previously changed this setting, please check the updated value.
|
|
|
|
* The change also increases accuracy for FarmBots with `use encoders for positioning` enabled while using the default `encoder scaling factor` value. If you have previously enabled `use encoders for positioning` please check movements to tool positions or other high-accuracy requirement movements.
|
|
|
|
* Sequence errors will now send an emergency stop command, locking FarmBot.
|
|
|
|
* If you are using `Farmduino (Genesis v1.3)`, check that `FIRMWARE` is correct after upgrading. If it isn't, choose the correct value from the drop-down.

|
|
# v7
|
|
|
|
* FarmBot OS now uses Python 3 rather than Python 2 when running Farmware. If you have added custom or 3rd-party Farmware, please check to make sure your FarmBot is still running as expected.

# v8

This release uses an improved Farmware API:

|
|
* If you have previously added custom or 3rd-party Farmware, you will need to reinstall the Farmware using the new manifest format.
|
|
|
|
* If you are a Farmware developer using Farmware Tools (`import farmware_tools`), the reinstalled Farmware should continue working as before. If you have authored a Farmware that does not use the package, you will need to replace any FarmBot device communication in your Farmware to use the `farmware_tools` package.

* See the [Farmware developer documentation](https://developer.farm.bot/docs/farmware) for more information.
