Dear All,

Today we are releasing Bio-Formats 5.2.2, a bug-fix release. 

Improvements include fixes for three formats:

• InCell
  • improved handling of Analyzer 2000 datasets to find TIFF files
• FV1000
  • fixed preview names ordering
• OME-TIFF
  • enabled all BigTIFF extensions

Other improvements:

• fixed a regression in which the DataTools number parsing API would not be thread-safe anymore
• ImageJ bug fixes and improvements
  • fixed a bug when swapping dimensions of an image with multiple series of different dimensions
  • added an option to the exporter to pad filename indexes with zeros
• Command-line tools improvements
  • allowed the binaries to be symlinked (thanks to Gerhard Burger)
  • added an option to bfconvert to pad filename indexes with zeros
