# [v3.0.0-alpha2](https://gitlab.com/openflexure/openflexure-microscope-server/compare/v3.0.0-alpha1...v3.0.0-alpha2) (2025-08-08)
This is the second alpha release the v3 server, the main focus has been higher resolution scans with more reliable focus. There have been many other changes, some highlights are:
* Capture in Scanning increased from 0.5MP to 2MP
* Using updated stitching which is significantly faster.
* Scanning uses a "smart stacking" that camptures images until it has found the sharpest one. Removing the need to perform autofocus, and improving the focus reliability.
* Server version is saved into image metadata
* Improvements to settings in LabThings-FastAPI so settings persist more reliably
* Improvements to memory management, process, and directory management during scanning
* UI improvements including:
* Direct download of stitched image
* Stitching can be cancelled from the UI
* Stitch all scans button in the UI to stitch any scans that are not already stitched
* The log display pauses autoscroll on mouse hover
* More consistent updating of scan tab
* Better description of server version information
* Picamera and Sangaboard code are now directly in the repository, in heriting from BaseCamera and BaseStage class. Allowing core functionality to be added to BaseStage and Base Camera.
* Other underlying changed that will make customisation easier in the future.
* Significantly increase in code testing
