We are delighted to release our new version of Signals, 25.8. This release brings enhancements in our Data Workflows and Analytics, SAR and decisioning, Inventory, Tables and Plates amongst others. We have new beta capabilities for Hierarchical Tables, Contextual Lists and extended beta capabilities around Supplier Lists, Data Factory and InVitro Analysis. Finally, we have also fixed a number of small bugs.
The following improvements are available for users, administrators and developers on the Signals platform. Certain features may only be available with appropriate licensing and/or with enablement by an administrator.

We also fixed several small bugs in this release. Details of the enhancements are described below.
Developers should note that we are planning to address an issue with the GET /entities/{eid}/export endpoint, where currently the response returns an incorrect Content-Type header for Text entities. The header is currently set to text/plain, while the actual content is text/html. This only affects text entities created through text file upload. This will be corrected in an upcoming release.
Data Factory administrators should be aware that in an upcoming release you will no longer be able to create Legacy Data Factory projects. We encourage adopting the Data Factory beta features which will soon replace the current (legacy) projects.
System Administrators of E3 or Private Cloud systems using our validation ready deferred release should be aware of the upcoming change to our patch process. Starting November 2025, we will introduce a planned patch to E3 and select Private Cloud environments approximately 3-4 weeks after the update to Production. These patches will contain resolution to critical issues identified late stage during PQ testing or immediately post-Production. Note: These critical issues can include those not identified via a Sandbox tenant that were not fixed in sufficient time in our Standard releases to be part of the Production update. If no appropriate issues are identified, no patch will be released. The planned timing for the patch will be communicated in the Release Notes.
Administrators should note that the beta capability “Animal Selection & Group Assignment App with Randomization capabilities” is no longer available.
Administrators should be aware that the stereochemical annotation of pseudochiral OR centers using the guided stereo tool now will add an additional label which is interpreted as chemically significant. This change only applies to annotations made subsequent to this change, existing compounds will remain with the prior understanding until edited.
Data Factory administrators should be aware that you can no longer change the data type of an attribute to an incompatible format (e.g.: from chemical structure to date).
Data Factory administrators should be aware that secondary (AER) maps will now only be handled by the Data Factory backend. You can no longer create nor modify these maps manually. Consequently, the following are breaking changes in Primary APIs:
GET /information-design-service/import-maps/{importMapId} no longer returns secondary maps
POST /information-design-service/import-maps/search no longer returns secondary maps
POST /information-design-service/import-maps no longer allow the creation of secondary (AER) maps. This will return a 400 error if attempted. Query parameters and response fields related to secondary maps have been removed.
The following endpoints will no longer return fields related to secondary maps:
PATCH /information-design-service/mtypes/{name}
GET /information-design-service/mtypes/{name}
The following endpoints have been marked deprecated and will no longer include fields related to secondary maps:
GET /information-design-service/attributes/{attributeId}
POST /information-design-service/mtypes
PUT /information-design-service/attributes/{attributeId}
