Dear All,
 *The OME project is pleased to announce the release of OMERO and
Bio-Formats 4.4.6.*
 Today we are launching 4.4.6, a bug-fix release addressing a number of
issues across all components.
 For OMERO, this includes a major fix to repair the C++ binding support for
Ice 3.4, and the addition of the following features to the clients:
 - Channel Edit - to update channel names
 - Batch Annotation/De-annotation - annotate a selection of images
 - Data Manager - add a smart folder (Orphaned images) to access images not
linked to a dataset
 There has also been an update to the CLI which may potentially break some
scripts. This was necessary to fix some key problems and the changes are
limited to user/group plugin commands e.g. bin/omero group insert/remove ->
bin/omero group adduser/removeuser.
  Bio-Formats improvements include a number of bug fixes. You will also
notice that it has officially moved to the www.openmicroscopy.org site - if
you host any links to Bio-Formats documentation or downloads at the LOCI
site, these will soon be redirected.
 Full details are available on the OMERO Github milestone page
https://github.com/openmicroscopy/openmicroscopy/issues?milestone=4&state=closed
and
