## SDK Version 1.18.1 Release Notes

Version 1.18.1 of the Benchling SDK is a patch release to restore some test helpers that were mistakenly deleted in 1.18.0. It has no other changes.

### What’s Changing?

### Fixed

* Restored `benchling_sdk.apps.config.helpers` and `benchling_sdk.apps.config_mock_config`, which had been deleted in the 1.18.0 release. Some of this code is obsolete, left over from old app configuration APIs that no longer exist, but there were still cases in which it could be helpful in tests for creating a mock configuration from a manifest file.

Version 1.18.1 of the Benchling SDK is now live! Find the SDK in [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/benchling-sdk/1.18.1/) .
