2025.5 Release Notes
Release Highlights
Files can be directly uploaded to the Data and the 3D & Analyze pages using a drag-drop feature.
A checkbox allows a dataset to be added to Active Data when file upload is complete.
This option is defaulted to off.
It is recommended to turn this option on so the uploaded dataset can be viewed immediately in the 3D & Analyze page.
The UI will retain the selection and the checkbox will remain checked if it was used for the previous upload.
Some files may take longer to process. In this case, the dataset will appear in Active Datasets, but it will be grayed out until the upload is complete. A green notification bar at the top will indicate that the dataset was successfully added to Active Data.
Figure 1. This video clip shows the drag-drop upload process and the addition of a dataset to Active Data.
Records in a dataset can be deleted on the 3D & Analyze page, both from the spreadsheet and from 3D Viewer data trees.
Very large files may not need to be converted to datasets when uploading to Orion. In this situation, a warning message now appears with an option not to convert the file to a dataset.

User Interface Notes
Bug Fixes
A bug has been fixed that prevented modifications of default parameters from showing up in the Job Parameters panel in the UI.
Files over 50MB cannot be previewed directly in the browser. Hovering on the “Open in New Tab” icon on the Data page reveals a tooltip stating that the file is too big to view in the browser.
A bug has been fixed that prevented users from searching by a dataset ID in the Organization Data space.
Instances with uncorrectable GPU errors would occasionally cause jobs to fail. Orion now detects and drains these instances properly.
Cubes exiting due to an idle timeout used to appear as a failure in floe logs. This condition is now reported accurately.
An issue has been corrected so that when the Use Experimental Parallel Cube Implementation parameter is enabled, it no longer causes parallel cubes to behave like serial cubes by not scaling up.
A bug has been fixed that caused protein surfaces to render improperly when the browser window zoom level was not set to 100%.
Orion Back End Notes
Note
Orion back end and other Orion changes of interest to all users are listed in this section, in this manual. Orion Platform changes of interest to Python programmers are summarized in the Orion Programming Guide release notes.
Users submitting jobs programmatically using orionclient should upgrade to
openeye-orionplatform 6.7.0
.For customers with access to Cadence OnCloud,
cdns-g1
instances are now scheduled prior to AWS instances in floes that are allowed to run on both.
Information for Programmers
Note
The Programming Guide covers only Orion Platform.
Managed Service customers can use the Orion Platform interfaces to develop their own cubes and floes for execution in Orion. They can use the Orion Command-Line Interface (OCLI) to execute operations using the Orion Client facilities. They can also develop and manage Molecule Search databases. For more information, see the Programming Guide.
