| ### New Features | ||
|
|
||
| - Use new ``transfer_liquid``, ``distribute_liquid``, and ``consolidate_liquid`` commands only on the Flex to optimize liquid handling based on Opentrons-verified liquid classes. |

I think this matches how we've described Flex-only features in the past.

| ### Improvements | ||
|
|
||
| - Improvements to ``return_tip`` change the pipette position to correctly drop and return attached tips to the tip rack. |

Not sure what this refers to. I think we need something more precise.

Refers to EXEC-1191, this static electricity issue. Probably need to touch base with Ryan on an improved description for this one.

Aha. It's a general improvement. Something like "Improved tip-drop motion for Flex 8-channel pipettes."
| ### New Features | ||
|
|
||
| - Run Flex protocols with updated liquid handling commands, optimized for liquid class properties like viscosity. | ||
| - During a protocol, use the Flex gripper to remove lids from new tip boxes on the deck. |

I think we can have this in API only.

What bug did this fix? And it makes it sound like this is the only way to resume.

Fixes RQA-3927 ; I'll chat with Jamey and Sara to double check.
And good call, it sure does.

Cool, maybe something like "Error recovery no longer lets you select more tips than the pipette can pick up at once."

Had a few changes to make after discussing with Nus, so second commit includes feedback/Ed's suggestions. |
