Release of OMERO & Bio-Formats 4.4.10

[Melissa Linkert]

Dear All,

Today we are launching 4.4.10, a bug-fixing release:

For OMERO, this includes:

* improved tile-loading
* better network-disconnect handling
* more flexible webapp deployment
* Ice 3.5.1 support (except on Windows)
* and numerous bug fixes, especially during the modification of metadata, users, and groups.

Bio-Formats improvements include fixes for the following formats:

* CellWorx
* Metamorph
* Zeiss CZI
* and updates to the MATLAB documentation.

Full details are available on the OMERO Github milestone[1] and the Bio-Formats Github milestone[2] pages.

The software is available from
http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/omero/4.4.10/
and

For information on upgrading your server, see http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/omero4/sysadmins/server-upgrade.html.

For full details of the next major release, see the 5.0.0 milestone page[3]. We currently intend 4.4.10 to be the last update to the 4.4.x series. Our development focus is now on the OME 5 line, and as stated in a previous announcement, while we will continue to support 4.4.10 through 2014, we will only perform critical bug fixes on this version.

Kind regards,

The OME Team
