# Alchemy January 2025

Applies to: `Alchemy`

!!! note

    To view issues you may encounter when using Alchemy that we are working to address in future releases, see [Known issues](https://docs.cloudhouse.com/public/overview/known-issues/index.md).

**Bug Fix**

Previously, if a right-click context menu was unable to launch, right-clicking in Windows Explorer would become unresponsive for 30 seconds. Now, right-clicking remains responsive when a `Container.Run` returns a non-success exit code. For more information, see
- Updated AAV to 4.7.2501.28246.
- Updated Package Runtimes to 4.7.2412.3907.

## Package runtimes

### (Released 17th January)

**New Features**

- Supports the deployment of drivers.
- Supports multiple service backups on deployment, allowing you to restore the service as required, without having to manually reconfigure it.

### (Released 10th January)

**New Features**

Backup events from `Events.xml` if they fail to execute.

**Bug Fix**

- Alchemy's order of operations has been modified for uninstalling and unregistering. For more information, see [Order of Operations](https://docs.cloudhouse.com/public/deploying-packages/order-of-operations/order-of-operations/index.md).
- Beginning in Package Runtimes version 4.7.2405.3600, the exit code returned was 0 even in the event of a failure. This has been fixed and the correct exit code is now returned. For more information, see [Alchemy Compatibility Package Exit Codes](https://docs.cloudhouse.com/public/troubleshooting-packages/errors/exit-codes/exit-codes/index.md).
