 # Qiita changelog
 
+Version 2025.04
+---------------
+
+Deployed on April 11th, 2025
+
+* General improvements for automatic environment generation by @sjanssen2 (thank you!): [#3462](https://github.com/qiita-spots/qiita/pull/3462), [#3463](https://github.com/qiita-spots/qiita/pull/3463), [3464](https://github.com/qiita-spots/qiita/pull/3464), [#3465](https://github.com/qiita-spots/qiita/pull/3465).
+* When ProcessingJob.resource_allocation_info fails, it will now be [set as the error for the job](https://github.com/qiita-spots/qiita/pull/3466).
+* SPP: General updates and clean up: [#169](https://github.com/biocore/mg-scripts/pull/169), [#101](https://github.com/qiita-spots/qp-knight-lab-processing/pull/101).
+* `Remove SynDNA plasmid, insert, & CP026085 reads` superseded `Remove SynDNA inserts & plasmid reads`; which now removes SynDNA plasmids, inserts, and CP026085 reads, in this order.

 * Replaced os.rename for shutil.move in the code to fix [#3455](https://github.com/qiita-spots/qiita/issues/3455).
 * Via qp-spades, replaced the legacy `spades` command for `cloudSPAdes` for TellSeq.
 * `FASTA_preprocessed` within qtp-sequencing now allows for results to be named using their sample-name, extra from run-prefix.
-* `Remove SynDNA inserts & plasmid reads` superseded `Remove SynDNA reads`, which now removes SynDna inserts and plasmids.
+* `Remove SynDNA inserts & plasmid reads` superseded `Remove SynDNA reads`, which now removes SynDNA inserts and plasmids.
 * `update_resource_allocation_redis` now relies on using equations stored in the database vs. hardcoded; thank you @Gossty!
 * SPP: Updated prep-info file generation to identify and report filtered fastq files that could not be matched to a sample-id instead of silently ignoring them.
 * SPP: Removed legacy test code and example files for amplicon processing. Some other tests updated and repurposed.
