Dear All,
Today we are launching 4.4.9, a bug-fix release addressing a number of issues across all components.
For OMERO, this includes:
* fixing compatibility issues between clients and servers using different Ice versions e.g. client using Ice 3.5 connecting to a server using Ice 3.4;
* adding Ice 3.5 support;
* updating minimum system requirements to Java 1.6 (Java 1.5 is no longer supported);
* a major reworking of the testing infrastructure;
* new scripting sharing service as requested by users [1];
* new user help website to host workflow-based guides [2];
* new partner project pages to highlight work going on within the extended OME consortium.[3]
A security vulnerability [4] has also been identified and resolved, meaning that we strongly recommend all users upgrade their OMERO clients and servers. Sysadmin documentation for upgrading your server is at
http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/omero4/sysadmins/server-upgrade.html.
Bio-Formats improvements include a number of bug fixes including for the ND2 format.
Full details are available on the OMERO Github milestone [5] and the Bio-Formats Github milestone [6] pages.
The software is available from
http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/omero/4.4.9/and
http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats/4.4.9/This move to downloads.openmicroscopy.org<
http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org> is to facilitate all versions of the software being available from one location - legacy versions will be available here soon.
Kind regards,
The OME team
