See the [subpages](/reference/software-release-notes/2025.md) for historic release notes. {% hint style="danger" icon="burst-new" %} IIllumina Connected Analytics is being renamed to **Illumina BioInsight Platform Core**. As part of this release, you will begin to see name changes across the Illumina software portfolio from ICA to Illumina BioInsight Platform Core or Platform Core. **There is no change to functionality under this rename, no changes to API structures, and backwards compatibility will be maintained.** Additionally, all references to **iCredits** are being **changed to** Illumina **BioInsight Credits (BIC)**. More information can be found in Illumina Product Change Notification ([PCN2026-1866](https://sharecontent.illumina.com/i/GihqYR4sJQkt62H4Tf6rw0vKP2SxHbFmAC___4eHin8IWMeQeDtEXvL6PLUSSIGNOt0mPLUSSIGNc3___DL26wgUV3IZs9jeH9X1kutzTsudNQaVBwTIODpnCeK1UPu4tlkYizMg1cMoh5EapPLUSSIGN)). Starting with the current release, references to Illumina Connected Analytics in the release notes will be changed to Illumina BioInsight Platform Core going forward. {% endhint %} ## 2026 October 31 - Platform Core v2.50.0 #### New Features and Enhancements * Flow * A new endpoint\ `GET /api/projects/{projectId}/pipelines/{pipelineId}/parametersXmlFile`\ lets you **download the original parameters.xml** of an XML-based pipeline. This gives clients the full pipeline input definition, including labels, descriptions, types, constraints, defaults, steps, and locked or shared values. * For pipelines published by another tenant, users now see the owning tenant instead of the developer’s name. Users within the owning tenant continue to see the developer’s name. Illumina’s tenant is shown as “Illumina, Inc.”. * Illumina-published pipelines now open on the Documentation page, where available. #### Fixed Issues * General * Inactive Illumina BioInsight Platform subscriptions can no longer upload new data to Platform Core. * Flow * Fixes an issue in Analysis Reports where Data Details and Downloads worked only for the first of several same-named files stored in different folders. Each of these files now opens in its own tab instead of sharing one. * Analysis Reports with many output files and configurations load only when opened for better performance. * Fixes an issue that didn’t display images from a Pipeline’s Documentation after an edit. * When you create an activation code for a WebSolution, the configured entitlement is now selected automatically. Entitlements from other WebSolutions in the same tenant are no longer offered, so the code grants only the intended pipelines and versions. * In the Pipeline Metadata info block, the list of pipelines that share the same metadata model now wraps inside the panel instead of extending past the edge. * Users who can view and run pipelines in a project can now pin or unpin pipelines without needing pipeline-edit permission. * Adding a new version to an existing pipeline no longer resets the pipeline icon when the request doesn’t include one. * Deleting a pipeline that has already been used in an analysis now also removes its parameter sets. Completed analyses that used the pipeline continue to show the pipeline name. * The `GET /api/pipelines/{pipelineId}/parameterSets/{parameterSetId}` endpoint now returns the pipeline owner’s parameter sets for pipelines shared with your tenant through an entitled bundle, consistent with the UI. When a set is missing or not visible, the error message now specifies the requested parameterSetId and pipelineId. * Fixes an issue on the Analysis launch form where “Reset settings” cleared default selections. Those defaults now reappear after reset, and if a default can no longer be found, a warning is shown. * Opening a pipeline version dropdown now closes any other open ones, so only one version list is visible at a time. * The Pipeline Details page now shows which pipeline version is pinned. * The pipeline version picker now shows the Latest and Last Used labels as soon as the page loads, without opening the dropdown first. * When starting an analysis from the Analyses overview page, the Select Pipeline dialog now shows the Last Used label on the most recently used version. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://help.ica.illumina.com/reference/software-release-notes.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
