# 0.5.0

## New

* **Public templates.** **Save as template** can publish a template to every workspace of the installation with **Public template**, and can replace one of your existing templates instead of adding a new one. Tags, a Markdown readme and publishing sit under **Advanced settings**. Official templates now come live from the official OvalBee library, so a new one appears in every installation without an update. See [Templates and sharing](/build/templates).
* **Machine classes.** Administrators name the machines node runs and deployments can use under **Machine classes** in the platform settings, and a node or a deployment picks one of them. See [Compute](/administration/compute).
* **Import from cloud storage.** The [Import from cloud storage](/node-library/nodes/import-ops-import-from-cloud-storage) node imports images or videos with their annotations from an S3-compatible bucket and detects the annotation format.
* **Label train, validation and test.** The [Label train, validation and test](/node-library/nodes/label-labeling-splits) node gives each labeler one queue that works through the three sets in order, and each set's submissions land in a labeled dataset of its own.
* **Active learning with live training.** [Prelabel with live training](/node-library/nodes/models-general-prelabel-with-live-training) pre-labels a dataset with the current weights of a running live training session without stopping it, and can accept images whose boxes are all confident enough. [Active learning curve](/node-library/nodes/evaluate-active-learning-curve) plots mAP against the number of labeled images.
* **Group styles.** Flow settings offer three styles for groups, and templates keep a flow's groups.
* **Running deployments.** The deployments tab filters by **All** or **Running**.

## Improvements

* **Official library URL** in the platform settings names the OvalBee instance that official templates and live examples come from. A value that still points at the old catalog manifest keeps working.
* Labeling and Review nodes refresh their queues as soon as work arrives. Their scheduled run, now every 15 minutes instead of every minute or two, returns expired claims.
* Train/validation split keeps every image of its previous split on rerun and places only new ones, and has an **Add a test split** switch. Random sample names its dataset after its source.
* Sample images similar to failures has an optional **Exclude images in** dataset, so images already labeled are not sampled again.
* Grid thumbnails draw boxes in the classes' ontology colors, and a class without a color gets the same one every time.
* Evaluation reports leave out findings charts and tables that have nothing to show.
* Collaborators no longer see Storage, Models and Ontologies. **Sync from disk** in the node picker is shown only to instance administrators.

## Fixes

* Embedding map thumbnails no longer go blank a day after their run.
* Review, Consensus review and other steps that cannot edit labels no longer offer Smart Tool or Live Training in the labeling tool, and a rejected image is no longer sent to live training.
* A Condition node compares numbers as numbers, where a numeric comparison used to stop the flow.
* A dataset card no longer says "No assets" after a node refreshed its statistics.
* The CLIP index badge no longer drops to 0 images when a scheduled rerun finds the dataset unchanged.
* The labeling tool no longer fails to load an image whose pre-label carries a confidence tag.
* A template saved without tags in an update keeps the tags it had.
